For "normal" work passes, a one months (non-renewable) SVP is automatically issued when the employments ends.
Since the WHP is rare, I don't know if the same applies to it Ask the relevant authorities!
If not, you probably cannot stay any longer.
Exiting the country and coming back after a short time is not an option in Singapore!

Thank you very much for you fast reply! I will try to send an email to the MOM but they never answer to my questions, they just paste a random answer. If i get an answer I will keep you inform!

Cheers,

MoM does not send "random answers". They send the portion of (pre-formulated) texts that comes closest to your question. And you have to read them very carefully (same as buerocrat speak all over the world)
Thus either you did not explain yourself very much, or you did not understand their reply - or there exists no clear answer.
