As per the news statement Asia is left with final /8 public IP. For Service Providers this is another reminder either they need to be ready with more cash to buy IP in secondary markets or prepare/start offering IPv6 services.
Singapore is seriously lagging in the adoption of new technologies and IPv6 is no exemption. Hopefully we can see services from Openent RSP's rather than using private IP...
For the details on policy process from APNIC, below is the info
If the reserved /16 remains unused by the time the rest of the remaining /8 worth of space has been allocated, the /16 will be returned to the APNIC pool for distribution under the policy described in Section 9.10.1, "Allocations to LIRs".
