Singapore shares may have a tepid opening on Monday after Wall Street ended a strong year with a quiet and little changed session, but may be supported by news that Singapore's economy grew 14.7% in 2010. The benchmark Straits Times Index <.FTSTI> was down 0.7% last Friday to 3,190.04 points. Here are some stocks and factors to watch, say Thomson Reuters and Bloomberg:
