Heineken UK is part of Heineken International, based in the Netherlands, with three breweries in Britain. Although these breweries produce several beers with foreign origins, all the Heineken-branded beer sold in Britain comes from the group’s brewery at Zoeterwoudein, south of Amsterdam.
Are you sure it is actually Singaporean Tiger, ISTR it being brewed in Europe somewhere, and also at a Beerfest a few years ago one of the UK brewers had a beer called Tiger.
Singaporean Tiger is hard to get hold of, although I used to prefer Castle when I was out there, not quite such a strong taste as Tiger and doesn't leave you so bloated.

San Miguel is also available from a brewery in Hong Kong.

The Tiger beer is brewed in UK under licence by Heineken, the bottle is as below in the pic, Its a known beer in UK but I do not know if it is the one you mean.

Heineken were in at the start of Malayan Breweries Limited in 1931, in a joint venture between Heineken International and Fraser and Neave. Name changed to Asian Pacific Breweries in 1990.
Heineken announced 3 Aug 2012 that the company will acquire Fraser and Neave’s stake in Asia Pacific Breweries for $4.1 billion USD.

Essentially it is the same beer, but it is surely a lager not a yeast based beer.
Many medics used to demand that patients attending with "water infections" refrained from drinking it for 48 hours prior to a water test - the contents skewed the results.

It has been around a long time, as has Tiger Balm (no relation).

That is quite interesting, googling that has bought me to see that Spains worst lager I.M.O. Cruzcampo is brewed by Heineken too, Also comes from Sevilla but was also bought from Guinness.

Cruzcampo Export, I cant imagine who would buy that.

I don't really know any Brits that like Cruzcampo - the Spanish love it.

A dysfunctional family. They were out clubbing at 14 not to mention being exposed to the drug scene all their lives. Let's hope Geldof doesn't get the Two Grandkids.

Peaches and Katie Hopkins had quite a heated debate on TV about kids and families.

Now this has happened I hope Katie doesn't join in with the melodramatic claptrap gracing our screens at the moment.
