BBC Singapore quits 7/12
Shortwave_Listener:
According to Michigan ARE Tipsheet July 7, ed. Harold Frodge, The BBC relay station in Singapore is shutting down on 7/23. AWR Wavescan says it shuts down on 7/16. It is unclear which is correct.
Update: An on air announcement on July 12 says they are closing today.

Hate to see it go, as I've heard the BBC broadcasts from Kranji quite a few times over the years, but land in Singapore is expensive. And there's nowhere to expand. So, it's only natural that a large plot of land being used for SW broadcasts is in the way of development.
