What happened to Singapore in the Cyberpunk universe (2020–2077)?

In Cyberpunk lore, Singapore (Singapore Zaibatsu-Corporate Manufacturing & Maritime Zone) is aligned with Arasaka Corporation, Kang Tao & Biotechnica Asia. In 2020 (● FOURTH CORP WAR NAVAL & MINE BLITZ, Sovereignty 10%): During the Fourth Corporate War (2021–2023), Singapore’s shipping lanes are seeded with self-replicating Arasaka sea-mines while OTEC and CINO fleets battle offshore. By 2077 (● ARASAKA-KANG TAO MEGACORP SPHERE, Sovereignty 8%): In 2077, Singapore Orbital Port is a towering neon industrial metropolis where Arasaka, Kang Tao, and Biotechnica divide port, security, and synthetic food monopolies.
