Singapore is an interesting one. Their outbreak looks really benign, but actually they are on an exponential trajectory as well. The rate is just much lower, something like 7% daily. It doesn't register compared to the countries with fast growth, but if it stays like that, they will reach high numbers too. It translates to 10x per month.

The majority of Singapore's cases for the past week plus have been imported, not local transmission. They already imposed mandatory 14 day quarantines on most visitors a few days ago, plus Malaysia just unilaterally sealed the only land border, so those will go down soon.
