Bug Description

I want to see the time in Singapore (the city-state Republic of Singapore, South-East Asia) in my list of time zones in the dock clock application. But Singapore (SE Asia) is not listed. Neighbouring cities in Malaysia are listed, however. I expect to see Singapore listed so I can quickly check the time there.

Confirmed :
- You can select the city-state of Singapore by clicking on the map,
- But if you type "Singapore" in the location text-box, you only get those 2 items :
    * Singapore (Limpopo, South Africa),
    * Singapore (historical) (Michigan, United States)

seems like an issue with the location database, the website returns the same results:
