How to find a place on google map by postal code for specific country

This method used to work for me before: when I have a postal code, I just add it to the end of the following link:

https://www.google.com/maps?q=

eg. postal code is 649414 then I can view the location by:

https://www.google.com/maps?q=649414

But after a while, I recognised that it won't show the right place any more. The reason could be there are several places on the world have the same postal code. So it just show an area (like US) or a different place from what I expected. So if I want to be precise, I need to click another result on the page to choose my region. My question is, is there any way I could automatically narrow the search for a specific country, say Singapore ? If you search for postal code like : 272012 , it will have 2 results at Singapore and Shandong - China. but the link on the address bar is the same:

https://www.google.com/maps?q=272012

How could I set in my code in php to make it redirect to this page: 

https://www.google.com/maps?q=272012

but only in Singapore ?

Just add the location name and "+" before the postal code:

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Singapore+272012
