how about starting from a junior position/ entry level. With good command of English (better if you are bi/ mutli-lingual), computer skills, good character/attitude, i’m sure you can get a job here.
my ex colleague was a certfied medical doctor in China, however, she came to S’pore, and took up a specialist diploma in marketing. Now, she’s a PR,and works in a Multinational company, and in a “OK” position.

You can always try to apply, but frankly speaking, there are also many others foreigners applying for jobs in Singapore. Singapore employers like to look at paper qualifications. It does need a bit of luck to get a job that you want. You may try to submit your resume to big recruitment agencies in Singapore. Try job portals like jobstreet.com, jobsdb.com and monster.com, etc. Also, you may want to try applying for call centre or telemarketing job, it may be easier to get.
Try your best if you think you really want to work in Singapore. All the best.
