Singapore shares may open higher on Monday following gains on Wall Street overnight, lifted by financial stocks. However, any gains may be subdued due to China's latest move to tighten monetary policy.

Media firm Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) may be in focus after it said on Friday its first quarter net profit fell 29.3 percent due to a drop in operating revenue from its property segment.
