//loading the existing XML file
$dom->load('phone_XML.xml');

// appendChild() can be combined with the create*()
//$staff = $phone->appendChild($dom->createElement("staff"));

// you missed the `s` element node
$s = $staff->appendChild($dom->createElement('s'));
$s->setAttribute('id', 'S002Doe');

You're loading an existing XML. This will include some text nodes with whitespaces (line breaks, spaces for indentation). DOM recognizes them in the serialization a tries to preserve the original XML (including the whitespace nodes) over reformatting. The DOMDocument::$preserveWhiteSpace property allows it to remove the whitespace node while parsing.

Other points:

You missed the s element node.
The phone element node is the document element it is available in a property of the DOMDocument object.
appendChild() can be combined with create*() calls. It returns the appended node.
Add text nodes. Do not use the second argument of createElement(), it has a broken escaping.

Put together:

$xml = <<<'XML'
<phone>
<staff>
    <s id="S001Akmal">
        <sName>Muhammad Nur Akmal Bin Mohd Halim </sName>
        <sIC>940228-10-6101</sIC>
        <sEmail>muhdnurakmal@velocity.net.my</sEmail>
        <sAddress>Lot 2863 Jalan Limau, Meru 42200 Klang</sAddress>
        <sPhone>012-3456789</sPhone>
    </s>
</staff>
</phone>
XML;

$document = new DOMDocument();
$document->formatOutput = TRUE;
$document->preserveWhiteSpace = FALSE;
$document->loadXml($xml);

$phone = $document->documentElement;
// appendChild() can be combined with the create*()
$staff = $phone->appendChild($document->createElement("staff"));

// you missed the `s` element node
$s = $staff->appendChild($document->createElement('s'));
$s->setAttribute('id', 'S002Doe');

$s
  ->appendChild($document->createElement('sName'))
  ->appendChild($document->createTextNode("John Doe"));
$s
  ->appendChild($document->createElement('sIC'))
  ->appendChild($document->createTextNode("123"));
$s
  ->appendChild($document->createElement('sEmail'))
  ->appendChild($document->createTextNode("john@example.tld"));
$s
  ->appendChild($document->createElement('sAddress'))
  ->appendChild($document->createTextNode("somewhere"));
$s
  ->appendChild($document->createElement('sPhone'))
  ->appendChild($document->createTextNode("456"));

echo $document->saveXml();

Output:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<phone>
  <staff>
    <s id="S001Akmal">
      <sName>Muhammad Nur Akmal Bin Mohd Halim </sName>
      <sIC>940228-10-6101</sIC>
      <sEmail>muhdnurakmal@velocity.net.my</sEmail>
      <sAddress>Lot 2863 Jalan Limau, Meru 42200 Klang</sAddress>
      <sPhone>012-3456789</sPhone>
    </s>
  </staff>
  <staff>
    <s id="S002Doe">
      <sName>John Doe</sName>
      <sIC>123</sIC>
      <sEmail>john@example.tld</sEmail>
      <sAddress>somewhere</sAddress>
      <sPhone>456</sPhone>
    </s>
  </staff>
</phone>

Hint: If posting questions, try to build complete examples that can be run without external dependencies.
