I am afraid I think this has now changed as of the 8th May 2007 due to international hightened security. In Singapore, you go through security checks at your gate, not before you enter the duty free bit (as you do in the UK)...they were confiscating EVERYTHING over 100ml at the gate (I do wonder what happens to all those items)...the stupid thing was in Changi duty free they were freely allowing people to buy perfume and alcohol (as you have to present your boarding pass), and then confiscating it at the gate...so beware!!!!
