Well, Singapore is the favourite place in Asia for expats if I recall properly the last survey I read, so it seems my opinion is not that odd.
Also, fwiw, I do tend to compare Sgp to HK, but there appears to be quite enough activities for kids (you can google Singapore for kids), and most of Singapore, including children activities, is amazingly well made - kindda East meets West and does better than both. It's a small territory but from experience even when living in bigger cities/countries, we tend to stick to the same smallish areas, and going to the airport is a breeze, although HK is quite good for that as well.
I don't like the weather much either, but (my) kids sure do, it's even more desperate than before now we are back in Asia to try and take them to the icy areas i'm very fond of.
Also it is very clean, safe and i like the english/mandarine atmosphere. People are more relaxed than in HK as well
We just spent 1 week in the Marina in Singapore and i found it awesome, as usual.
About prostitution i'm not up to date on what's going on, but I doubt girlie bars, escort services or hookers on the street have disappeared. I like it that way actually, more german than swedish in that domain, although either way won't impact much my daily life.
