GA suppliers are not difficult to find at all, if you ask the right people, eg your club.

The logical first stop - your friendly local neighbourhood flying club, eg Seletar Flying Club:
http://www.seletar-flying-club.org/shop.html.

What good is a flying club if they want to sell you courses but can't supply your equipment needs? Of course they may have a preference to sell stuff to their students / members, that is only natural. Call them, but expect to leave a message. Darshan Singh is not always there, so don't just show up at the club.

Just for fun you can walk around Sim Lim Towers and look for:
Hoan Enterprise
10 Jalan Besar #01-13
Sim Lim Tower

They have David Clark stuff but they are not authorised dealers (very handy to buy from an authorised dealer for warranty purposes).

Other suppliers for the industry (Singapore is a huge base for regional aviation maintenance and repair) but they tend to be not very motivated when it comes to retail situations and they may also not have items ex-stock:

Dowell Aviation Pte Ltd
http://www.dowellaviation.com/

Local Telex headset rep:
Telex Communications (SEA) Pte Ltd
3015A Ubi Road 1 #05-10
Kampong Ubi Industrial Estate
Singapore 408705
Tel: +65 67468760
Fax: +65 67461206

Repair facility for David Clark (your David Clark will fail one day):
Aviation & Electronics Support Pte. Ltd.
http://www.aes-asia.com/
66 Loyang Way
Singapore 508756
Tel: (65) 64812261
Fax: (65) 64811980

AES is one of several dealers listed on:

I had to send my David Clark for repair (whilst under warranty). Just as well I bought it from an authorised dealer (if not the charges would have been several hundred dollars). Done cheerfully and to an exacting standard (every action logged with full service report down to component level). Contact: Edwin Low.

Sennheiser headsets (probably ex-stock):
Prime Aerospace Pte Ltd

Good enough for a start?
