Six weeks is too young to be away from his parents. Eight to ten weeks is the earliest recommended. Where did you get him?
If you cannot contact the person you got him from so he can stay with the parents another couple weeks, then you need to get him to a vet quickly.
Please take a few moments to register so you may post once this thread is moved.

He is young and that is not good but since he just arrived it could be almost anything. It could be stress from the move or stress from separation from parents or both. He could also just be lonely (most gliders do not thrive without companionship). What kind of cage is he in? What did you feed him? It is also daylight if you are in the Americas. Did he sleep at all? Do you have a pouch or nesting box for him? But the advice above is best to start. Get him back with parents or to a vet.

If he is shaking, that's normal he's stressed. Seizures are a problem since he is so young. A vet check is needed. Because he is stressed, his blood sugar may be low because he's burning extra calories. Try some watery fruits or honey water. He could be dehydrated too. 27c equals our 80°f. Temperature is fine. Please register and keep us posted.

The person you got him from who do they use for vet care? Usually vets do not turn people in for having illegal animals. It would be a good idea to have him checked over. What are you feeding him? Does he have a clean water source? diets are pretty strict on what they need to be happy and healthy.

Even though you are illegal in Singapore, you should register here so you have access to all the board forums. I must move this thread out of this forum now to our Help, I'm New. Please register as It only takes a few moments. That way you can take advantage of the entire board.
As Ladymagyver/Dawn said, most vets will not turn you away IF they treat exotics.
Who you purchased the glider from is a very good question if they are illegal where you are
