Would it be possible to post a sharp, close-up shot of the leaves?
It does look like Daun Kaduk (Piper sarmentosum), a member of the Black Pepper Family (Piperaceae), that is cultivated for its edible leaves. Piper sarmentosum is native to China, Hainan, southeastern Asia, Indonesia, Phillipines, New Guinea, and Australia.

I'd really like to see more detailed shots of the foliage before attempting an identification. It appears that the leaves are palmately compound, thought that could be a misleading interpretation when seen from far away. I presume this tree was also growing in Singapore?
