It really depends on the situation. I have one few hundred meters road stretch on the way to work were I frequently do it. Two lanes that can easily accommodate 4 cars, no junctions, houses, just nothing, on the left hand side.
Passing on the right is practically the same when it comes to the risk. They don't use indicators, they don't go closer to the center of the road while turning right, they most often don't check the back while overtaking. As with every traffic situation in Singapore you just have to factor in all possible scenarios the drivers may want to do, left, right, doesn't matter.
