The Singapore government today announced a massive hard-on for the latest export figures, which surged 15.3% despite the minor inconvenience of a literal war breaking out in the Middle East.

Trade officials confirmed that as long as the world keeps buying high-end AI semiconductors to power Skynet and deepfake porn generators, they couldn't give a flying fuck about global stability.

"War is actually damn good for business if you’re the one selling the brains for the missiles," said one economist while snorting a line of crushed microchips off a gold-plated monitor.

While non-electronic exports like food and pharmaceuticals plummeted, the semiconductor sector saw a 113.8% spike, proving that Singapore would rather export silicon than save lives.

Local analysts noted that the impending apocalypse is a "significant tailwind" for the local economy, provided the AI doesn't become sentient enough to realize it's being manufactured by overworked losers in Jurong.

"The Strait of Hormuz might be closed, but our legs are wide open for that sweet, sweet AI venture capital," the official added before flipping the bird at a peace protest.

With electronics shipments up 74%, the Ministry of Trade and Industry reminded citizens that your moral compass is irrelevant as long as the GDP is throbbing.

If the world ends tomorrow, Singapore will at least die with the most optimized balance sheet in human history, you ungrateful cibai.
