I was in Singapore the last week of March. The city-state has a deservedly authoritarian, straight-arrow reputation, but it is at the equator, so it is too hot, lush and tropical to be that uptight. And it is an hour or two plane ride from many exotic beaches and jungles in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. Singapore also has an interesting diversity, quite different than what you would see in the West. Signs on the subway/MRT are in English, Indonesian, Malay and Tamil. And the street food there is great.
