    MANUFACTURING and services firms in Singapore have become less optimistic about business prospects in the next six months, although both sectors expressed overall slight positive sentiment, two surveys released on Tuesday have found.

    The surveys, covering firms' expectations for April till September, were released by the Economic Development Board (EDB) for the manufacturing sector, and the Department of Statistics (Singstat) for services.
