SINGAPORE, June 27 (dpa): Singapore's manufacturing output jumped by 7.2 per cent in May compared to the previous month, according to official data released on Friday, in large part due to demand for medical and computer equipment.

The Economic Development Board (EDB) said local output has been spurred by "higher export demand for medical devices" and "strong capital investment in the global semiconductor industry."
