Singapore?
Last year I went to Shanghai for the year end Tennis Masters Cup and took in side trips to Beijing and Hong Kong. Had a great time. The tennis tournament is in Shanghai again this year so I'm going again - and will go back to Hong Kong. Looking for another city to see for ~ 2 days. Singapore has been mentioned by some friends. Any comments? Is it worth it?

There's a lot more to do in Singapore than just shop. IMHO it's definitely worth a visit.
Suggest you do a search. There's a dedicated Singapore forum on FT. You may also want to drop by the SQ forum for further info.

Yes, a great wind-down zone. You can safely eat street food, crime is low, police are (IME) honourable, and the transportation system is excellent.
