i watched a BBC or dunno what program in Australia before where they investigate the ECHELON project. Some guy set up an "eavesdrop" device outside of the facility and he actually pick up communications. So i think there's no doubt that there is such a project.
All data is fed directly to US for assessment.

On the wide open field bounded by Yio Chu Kang Road, CTE, SLE and Seletar Airport, is the 'BIG EAR' of Singapore.
The power of this electronic listening post was developed by the British Military during the 1950s and 1960s, and has been maintained and upgraded by our MINDEF with support from the Telecommunication Authority of Singapore.
On at least one reported occassion, it has picked up the weak distress signals of seamen drifting in the Pacific Ocean, and with the S.O.S. being forwarded to the Royal Australian Navy for immediate response.
