    SINGAPORE'S factory output expanded again in October after an exciting September, although there are signs that the pickup may not last.

    It grew 1.2 per cent year on year in October, in comparison to a revised 7.7 per cent growth in September, figures from the Economic Development Board (EDB) showed on Friday. September's number itself was revised upwards from 6.7 per cent earlier.
