Persons over 18 years without customs duties are allowed to import 1 liter of spirits, 1 liter of wine and 1 liter of beer to the territory of Singapore for personal consumption. Tobacco products imported in any quantity are subject to declaration and are subject to customs duties.

Answer information department of the "Subtlety of Tourism"
In Singapore, all tourists over the age of 18 can be imported to 1 liter of any alcohol (ie 1 liter of wine, 1 liter of strong alcohol, 1 liter of beer) and 200 cigarettes, while the duty is about 7 SGD per pack. All tobacco products must be presented at the border. If the period of stay of a tourist in Singapore is less than 48 hours, then personal things (which include alcohol and cigarettes) should not be more than 150 SGD (approximately 120 USD).

To Malaysia without duty you can import up to 1 liter of strong alcoholic beverages, wine or liqueurs - also up to 1 liter. From tobacco products, 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars or 225 grams are allowed. tobacco (to choose from.)

The wording about the export from Malaysia of cigarettes and alcohol is quite fuzzy - "in reasonable quantities." Normally, the restrictions do not apply to the quantity of the product being exported from the country, but the rates for importation into the country of arrival, so the amount of alcohol and cigarettes that can be exported from Malaysia will be regulated, for example, by Russian customs regulations (if then go to Russia).
