i suspect this bus is one of the former SBS mini MB buses. I saw a few of similar ones as private buses and are still existent in sg roads.

But the SBST MB minibuses were 2 door, right? I thought they were scrapped? Or were they just sold off?

wow...this seems pretty ancient to me already...though i spotted it a few times when i was young...i was thinking if the repainted one looks like svc 825/SMRT shuttle service?

Its not uncommon to see buses being modified when re-sold. For instance, the former SBS Leyland double-decker buses sold to HK had their front windscreen replaced with new ones and others with exit doors sealed up and replaced with new windows and seats. Its possible the new private bus owners may have bought these minibuses from SBS and had the exit door removed.

Bus is de-regged and not re-regged, its either sold overseas or scrapped.
