It has always been quite easy to get software engineers from neighbouring low-wage countries for relatively low salaries. I guess that has affected the market, and that's why salaries of software engineers in Singapore are relatively low. When I was living in Singapore, I moved to another job for this reason, as I found it hard to make a decent living as a software engineer.
