You can get most everything you will need at Mustapha's on Serangoon Road. Don't need to bring anything as Little India will more than cater for your needs. You can take back what ever you want but I don't know anything about Pakistan customs though.

You can't sell anything legally unless your foreign owned business starts a branch here. But that doesn't look like your plan.

And, you bring in a great big cardboard box of shirts, customs will probably want to know what you are up to.

Not legally I don't think. But you could probably fly under the radar if you want to take the risk.

Please go to the MOM site (or this site!), read and understand what they say about employment passes and EntrePass, and ask again when you have some sensible questions...

As far as I know (this is totally not my field) you don't need a company to simply buy stuff in Singapore and ship it out. Depending on what you plan to ship, you may require export permits:
