Please advise if we need to register a liaison office in the US? We are foreign company and have not operated in the U.S. before.

Thanks.

What do you mean? What do you plan to do?

It is very easy to set up a subsidiary in the US.

We just want a liaison office to assist Singapore to support local US queries. Do we need to register a liaison office in the US?

You will need some kind of entity if you want local contracts etc. to be made or you may set up a branch office that really is no separate company, just a service center. World Law could help you as well if you email them.

You don't have to set up a separate entity if you are not doing any actual business--if eg you are simply forwarding inquiries etc.
