It's true. For some mysterious reason, Maps is missing from the iPad features page on Apple Singapore's website.
If you compare the features page of the US site with the Singapore site, you will find that the US page has three extra elements: iTunes, iBooks and Maps.
Now it makes sense that the Singapore page would not have iTunes or iBooks because these would not be available here but why is Maps missing?
It's not a worldwide issue though. I did a quick check and Maps is present on the iPad features page of the UK, Canada, Australia, France, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong sites. Maps, however, is also missing from the features page of Apple China's site. A quick look at the HTML for the Singapore page shows that the copy and image for Maps has been commented out.
Is it likely that a sloppy designer accidentally commented out Maps in both China and Singapore? It's possible I guess. Given that it's 9pm on a Friday evening, I doubt we'll find the answer soon but if we do, you'll be the first to know.

Yup, probably a mistake.
Take a look at Contacts
"
The Contacts app on iPad makes finding names, numbers, and other important information quicker and easier than ever before. A new view lets you see both your complete contacts list and a single contact simultaneously. Need directions? Tap an address inside a contact and iPad automatically opens Maps.
"
The last word is Maps
I hope it's a mistake. China is missing a bunch of other stuff as well like YouTube (which is definitely not a mistake because YouTube is banned in Singapore).
When has YouTube banned in Singapore?
YouTube is banned in China.
@Thyechean sorry. I meant that YouTube is banned in China. YouTube is of course not banned in Singapore.
