Please take a picture of the next one you see and send it in.
We have similar ones here in the US as seen in the Bugguide site I listed. Perhaps that is the one you have?

I found one too..

This is probably an squash bug (family Coreidae) but could be an assassin or plant bug. Since it is from Singapore, it is hard to know as we do not have the same species usually in the US. Here is the closest I have found here in the States. http://bugguide.net/node/view/
The photo is not clear enough to see the sections or spot on the antenna.
You do not say just how large it is. Many of the true bugs leave an odor on your hands, such as stink bugs (Pentatomidae), squash bugs (Coreidae).
