Is the economy bad in Singapore?
Going by official statistics (www.singstat.gov.sg), Singapore is technically in a recession: -4.2% in 2008Q4, -9.5% in 2009Q1, and -3.5% in 2009Q2.
Consumers are spending less: the retail industry, for example, has contracted by 13% for the last two quarters.
Unemployment is growing: the UE rate Singapore averaged 2.1% in 2007, and has doubled to 4.2% in 2009Q2.
BUT....

- There are now overnight queues forming in front of property launches in non-prime districts
So the answer really depends on your point of view.
- If you're a job seeker, it's bad, and may get worse
- If you're a real estate agent or a stock broker, it's champagne popping time
