    CHINA's economic slowdown weighed heavily on the minds of Singapore and regional firms, dragging down business sentiment in the near future to new lows.

    Results of a Thomson Reuters/INSEAD survey released on Wednesday showed that sentiment at some of Asia's biggest firms deteriorated in the fourth quarter this year to 58, marking a four-year low. A reading over 50 indicates a positive view. Sentiment was at 60 in Q3 2015, and 72 a year before.
