Misleading Singapore's Q1 GDP figure?

The Singapore government has just released the Q1 GDP figure which states that the economy grew sharply by an annualised 38.6% from the previous 3 months this year and a 15.5% growth in the 1st quarter from last year.

If we were to convert the annualised figure to an actual 3-month GDP growth, that would amount to only 9.65% for the 1st quarter or 3.217% per month for the 1st quarter.

After this conversion, we can clearly see the actual growth scenario which is 9.65% vs 15.5%.
