MANILA/SINGAPORE, Sept 15 (Reuters): Most shares in Asian emerging markets fell on Wednesday, as a raft of subdued data from China, indicating slowing economic activity in the world's second largest economy, raised concerns over a global recovery and an aversion towards riskier assets.

Singapore stocks led losses in the broader region, dropping 0.8% to hit a two-week low, after the city-state on Tuesday reported its highest number of Covid-19 cases since August last year.
