well, if you find cool architecture, a clean city, multi-ethnic mix, the tropics, major league clubbing, rampant open prostitution and gambling boring, then yeah.
otoh, for drugs they give you a speedy trial and you hang by the neck on the next friday. then there is the caning of course and that extends to beating people at work and kids at home and in school. i suppose you can gamble with that stuff too if you want to.
so singapore is not by any means boring. most people just go there briefly for work or layover for a day or so on their way to elsewhere on their sea travels, so i'm not sure they really know it very well.
