The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has published a document on their website: http://www.mom.gov.sg, which I think might be helpful for you.
It is entitled National Wages Council's Wage Recommendations 2007/2008 (see http://www.mom.gov.sg/publish/momportal/en/general/NWC_Guidelines_07-08.html)
In addition, the MOM website has a wage search function and their median monthly gross salary for an engineering manager is S$6,261. This is based on a survey of private sector establishments with at least 25 employees.
More information on wages of different countries an be found in U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics
