Will the custom refuse the entry as she only has a one way ticket here? Please advised.... Thanks for the help..... Is it a must for travellers to have a return ticket?

High chance she will be refuse entry unless u met with a understanding officer which is very rare. I used to help my gal to "chopped" passport via JB re-entry. The officer will "invite" u to talk with them in a rm cos my gal dont hav return ticket. i managed to convince him(maybe he is on good mood) but he stressed that it is important to hav return ticket and min $500 in wallet cos singapore dont wan illegal immigrant.The return ticket is to prove that she will not be overstaying in singapore while the $500 min is to show that she is spending in singapore as tourist, not "working" .
i managed to avoid the $500 rule when i travel back to singapore with her few mths ago. But again u need to explain the situation with the officer and hope that he/she is in a good mood.
Tiger airways ticket ar very cheap now. i just bought another ticket roundtrip to vietnam for only $200. So the best advice i can give u is to buy the return ticket to avoid trouble and it will only cos u like less than $100.
If u wan to extend ur gal stay to more than a mth will depend wherether ur gal passport is "dirty" or not and wherether she hav extend her passport before. but since u ar getting married with her, the procedure might be different. Think there is some post regarding this issue few pages back in this post..u can try reading it.
