I am interested to know if trespass will be considered if its a family member.

The door was closed & permission was not granted.

There was nothing wrong being done but they just enter & walk around the room.

Would there be legal precedent in Singapore to stop them from coming in?

The applicable Singapore statute is:

Singapore Statute

There it says:

441 Criminal trespass ...Criminal trespass Whoever enters into or upon property in the possession of another with intent to commit an offence or to intimidate, insult or annoy any person in possession of such property, or having lawfully entered into or upon such property, unlawfully remains there with intent thereby to intimidate, insult or annoy any such person, or with intent to commit an offence, is said to commit criminal trespass

It seems highly unlikely that the local authorities would consider it trespass if it was done by another person lawfully in the property.
