They're mostly not manufactured in Singapore. They're designed in Singapore (formerly the UK), manufactured mostly in Malaysia and the Philipines (where labour is cheaper, [1]) and I presume the shift is entirely for tax reasons – in contrast to the UK it has far lower corporate taxation rates, and relevantly for Dyson himself, no capital gains tax at all [2] unlike the UK, which I presume will dramatically improve his income. The fact that they'll be in / closer to the same timezone as the manufacturing base probably helps as well.
