What's different about an NDA in Singapore
Singapore's contract law substantially follows English common law: consideration is required for enforceability, there is no general pre-contractual duty of good faith, and courts respect clear "subject to contract" language. Electronic execution is well supported, and there is no stamp duty on an NDA.

No. Singapore does not charge stamp duty on NDAs, MOUs, or LOIs, and electronic execution is well supported.
Does Singapore law require consideration in an NDA?
Yes. Singapore's contract law substantially follows English common law, so consideration is required for the agreement to be enforceable, unlike in a civil law jurisdiction such as the UAE.
