Recently I bought the 2008 Collection of Singapore Stamps for $59.90 from the post office. There are a number of interesting releases this year, including the Formula One Grand Prix, as well as the Peranakan collection, which made this purchase worthwhile. Here's a picture of the 2008 collection.
It is a dilemma at times, when a collector decides to buy the annual release and yet each individual presentation pack is also a separate worthwhile purchase, thus resulting in many copies of the same stamps. Nonetheless, I have to be selective in the stamps purchases due to my space constraints.
Interested in the album? If so, you better buy it before the price of the stamp album inflate next year, which typically happens when we cross over to the new year.

I am thinking about buying this set. Did this set come with the Peranakan beaded mini sheet as shown in this link?

Hi Rachel,
Sorry for the late reply, was away for a while.
The set of 8 stamps does not include the beaded mini-sheet. The bead mini-sheet is a separate collector's edition.
The SingPost release with more info can be found here: http://www.singpost.com/downloads/media/press_release/08/PR20080407.pdf
Once again, sorry for the lateness! :)
