Yes, ASEAN scholarship is available for DDP

In term of structure, both courses are the same, thus I guess you are asking about the difference between economics and business administration.

Economics focuses on understanding and analysis of economies and their constituent components.

BBA (Acc) focuses on real-estate law, real-estate valuation, project control, and rhetoric (business administration related modules) together with accountancy program.

There are two ways to get into DDP
1) Direct admission, however, please reminded that you have to maintain your CAP above 4.3 in order to continue your DDP, else you will have to abandon the second degree and continue your study as single degree. Application is usually available after you have secured one of your admission (business or engineering)
2) Application after 2 semester. In 2nd semester, you will receive email about application of DDP from your faculty and you will need to take a few module required for the second degree beforehand in order to be considered for DDP. Similarly, CAP is also important in your application

I did that when I mail it last year. For online submissions, I don't think it is necessary to do so.

To reduce the file size...you will find that it is not that easy to meet the file size requirement

Maybe you can try to look for your secondary school principal, principal can represent MOE to endorse

You can look for your school principal to do the endorsement.

$18 is enough to keep your line active for 180 days!!!

For the travelling fees, it really depends on your habit, some people prefer to just stay on campus instead of going out here and there

1) How many years is NUS economics programme?
A Bachelor Degree of Art is usually just 3 years, the additional one more year is for honours.

2) Criteria in choosing accommodation.
I would personally split it into 3 criteria:
a) Price
There are three kinds of accommodations on campus for NUS which are hall, residence and residential college.

Hall provides single room at a weekly price of $110 and also double room which cost $75 per week. There is also meal plan provided by hall covering breakfast and dinner during weekdays, breakfast of saturday and dinner of sunday. The price is about $2 per meal and it is compulsory for hall residents.

For residence, the only one available for freshmen is Prince George's Park (PGP). It offers 3 types of rooms, type A,B and C. Type A is the most expensive one with weekly rental of $200 and comes with air-conditioner as well as attached bathroom. Type B's weekly rental is $120 and comes with basins while type C is similar to the single room of hall with weekly rental of $110. There is no meal plan for residence but PGP has two canteens whereby you can have a meal about $3 to $4.

For residential college, the weekly rental ranges from $120 to $145. Meal plan is also compulsory for residential college whereby the price is about twice of hall's meal plan. The detail list is available at
http://nus.edu.sg/osa/has/undergraduate/hostel-rates

b) Location
First of all, transport around campus is rather convenient so location does not matter that much. However, if you insist on choosing the one that is close to your faculty, i would recommend eusoff hall or temasek hall which is just opposite of FASS.

c) Activities/Programmes
Residence does not provide any activities on its own, so students who stay there usually join other CCAs in campus or else you can just stay there without any CCA involvement.

Unlike residence, halls in NUS is well known for their hall CCA. Although it is not compulsory for hall residents to join them, it is necessary to join quite a number of hall CCA to get enough hall points to continue their stay in halls. The competition varies from year to year and different for each hall. Those with insufficient points will not be able to stay in hall for the next academic year.

Residential College also have its own CCA although it is not as vibrant as hall (at least in term of quantity). On top of that, you will be required to complete certain multidisciplinary modules under the residential college programme (UTCP or USP). These modules are considered part of degree programmes.

3) Medical checkup
You can do it in Malaysia or UHC depending which one is more convenient for you.

4) Tuition grant and Tuition fee loan
Yes, tuition fee loan application comes before tuition grant although tuition grant is required for tuition fee loan. You should come to Singapore earlier for your tuition fee loan application at the bank branches. You can come to Singapore before the term start for your Qualifying English Test (unless you are exempted from it) and also join some orientation camps (It is nice to know some friends before the term starts). You can do your tuition fee loan application during that time. Tuition grant application period is similar as last year.

I think that's all I can answer. Feel free to ask if you want more detailed explanation.

QET is taken to test your current english level. Students will be given band 1 to 3 based on their performance (band 1 is the worst and band 3 is the best)
It is compulsory for students without any of the following qualification: http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/event/registration-qet.html
Based on your result, band 1 students required to take two additional 0 MC modules, band 2 students required to take one additional 0 MC module and band 3 students don't have to take any.
The exam itself is an academic essay writing.

Poor performance in QET will not revoke your offer.

The medical checkup is necessary for admission and should be done before the term starts, or more precise before the registration, the deadline should be mentioned in your admission package

We do have a few pharmacy students in NUS from Malaysia (from A-levels, SAM, UEC as well as STPM).
However, pharmacy is one of the more competent course to get admission in NUS, so it is not going to be easy to get the admission.

No, just fulfill the requirement stated in the website.

I think they just accept diploma from Singapore polytechnics directly. For your case, it will be most likely on a case by case basics. You can always write an email to the department if your qualifications are not within the list.
