Just did a stint out in Singapore, and from an expats point of view, I'd steer clear. You'd be surprise at how expensive everything is out there, and if you are white or deemed an expat, they'll try their best to milk you dry be it your land lord, car dealer, etc.

Plus the country is really sterile, not the "feel" of Asia you would expect and get from places such as Bangkok, Saigon, or Hong Kong. In a way it is good if you have a family as it is safe, but you would never want to resettle in Singapore if you have a family, the International schools cost way too much, getting a car too cost more than buying a Cessna 172.

But I'm just biased so take what I say with a pinch of salt. I'm still mad because I got charged $55.90 for 2 glasses of beer at a popular drinking establishment out there.
