Singapore ISPs use a round robin global transparent proxy. All people connecting outside of Singapore show one of those proxy addresses as their primary IP, and unless a site specifically asks for the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR header they treat your entire country as the proxies.
Here's an example of a singaporean registered on Southperry;
IP Address: 220.255.1.57
Proxy For: 116.14.106.79, 220.255.1.57
Hostname: bb116-14-106-79.singnet.com.sg
Continent: AS
Country: SGP (Singapore)
220.255.1.57 is what 95% of the world will see that user as, even though the header clearly states 220.255.1.57 is just the SGP Global proxy and the true IP address is 116.14.106.79. Singapore has several hundred of those global proxy addresses, but every last one of you is using one to connect outside, so thats hundreds of thousands of people all appearing as a couple hundred proxy addresses.

It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
