Do you mean longitude 103.92644? In what datum are the lat/lon
coordinates? Where did you get the transformation in your example?

What's the source of these parameters?
You can perform transformations outside the database with PROJ.4
or inside the database with the PostGIS transform() function (which
uses PROJ.4).
http://proj.maptools.org/
http://postgis.refractions.net/
I don't see any exact matches in the PostGIS spatial_ref_sys table
for the parameters you posted you so if you use PostGIS then you
might have to insert a row to create your own spatial reference
system. However, I did a few tests with your parameters and various
datums for the lat/lon and couldn't get the exact transformed values
in your example.
You might get more help on the PROJ.4 and PostGIS mailing lists.
