In addition to the value of the US dollar, reasons that the F-15T was chosen are as follows:

Typhoon - Could not deliver the quantitiy of Tranche 2 quick enough.

Rafale - A great plane, but Singapore was looking for a strike aircraft to replace its A-4's. It already has multi-role fighters in the form of F-16 Blk 50's. The Raf is a great plane, but the F-15T is a better strike platform (better A-G radar, heavier weaspons load, larger variety of weapons, and much greater range)
