Default Starting a business in Singapore

I thought that maybe if I couldn't find work I could start a business, but it looks as if that might be even more complicated, as I need an entrepreneurs emplyment pass, as well as a partner in Singapore.

Does anyone know if this would apply to a web based business? If I established a web business ahead of time, and just wanted to work on it while living in Singapore, I would still need to do something about residency, wouldn't I?

YES

May be we can discuss how I can help you. I am Singaporean and do not mind being your freelance consultant and partner, cos I know a lil graphics design, web design and I write in my spare time (aim: to get my article publisher's page in number 1 spot/page in Google search engine results). I achieved it with an article I wrote recently which was a pleasant surprise.

Why don,t you register with a international company that is also there in Singapore,then it will be easier to migrate and do something legitimate there.

Contact me for personal advice and reference

You would need to contact both ICA (for immigration/residency/visa purposes, they're immensely strict) as well as Ministry of Manpower, as each visa has it's own regulations in terms of what work one can and cannot do.
