If all the documents are in place, and you have not committed any illegal acts in the UAE (that includes being arrested and having a criminal record), your Visa will be approved by the Singapore Immigration and you will not be hassled, but there is always a chance that they will investigate your Visa's origin before letting you pass out of the terminal.
Have money, have your living plans READY, and don't violate the strict, stringent laws of Singapore.

How useful was the Singapore River in helping Singapore to boost its economy?
When Singapore was chosen by Raffles as a British colony, the purpose of it was to make it a trading port and a resting spot for British ships that came to and fro India and China to trade with the chinese. As trade boosted in Singapore, more and more traders came in ships to trade in Singapore. Most of them were local traders that trade in Indonesia or Malaysia, but there are other who came all the way from China and etc. Singapore River is deep in depth and hence, big ships can dock in the river. This facilitated trade as many traders can dock their ships at the port at the Singapore River. Many warehouses were built along the river to allow the traders to store their goods. Hence, trade was very predominant along the Singapore River. It was like the central site of all trade and economy. Without the Singapore river, ships cannot dock in Singapore and then, there would be a huge difference in the economy of Singapore. In conclusion, the Singapore river was very useful in helping Singapore boost its economy.
