    IT WAS a sea of red as Singapore's non-oil domestic exports (NODX) sank by double digits in the second quarter, marking its third straight quarter of decline.

    This led Enterprise Singapore (ESG) to slash the full-year NODX forecast again to a contraction of -9 to -8 per cent - a sharp cut from the -2 to 0 per cent range that was revised in the first quarter.
