what Kenjee says is true, if its valid, you'll be let in.
How do you know he didn't cancel it though, the MOM don't stamp canceled across EP's. 4 years is also a long time for an EP, usually they're 2. You could email MOM Singapore http://www.mom.gov.sg/Pages/default.aspx and check, that way you wouldn't waste the airfare if you couldn't get in

Your pass validity ends the moment your employment in Singapore ends. That was years ago, no matter what the card says it is not valid any more.
The employer might have forgotten to inform MoM of the end of employment (for which they will be fined), but it is you, unfortunately, who will have more problems. For one, the employer might say you absconded without proper termination (which might get you banned from working in Singapore again), and You might still owe IRAS the taxes for the income you should have earned in these years -at least you will get fined for not submitting a tax declaration.
I strongly advice you to clear all these things up BEFORE you travel to Singapore! (Even though it might not be easy - engage a good lawyer if necessary!)
