No thanks for not reading, yourself. This question comes up
in this forum several tinmes a week (if not a day).
Mark A and me answered a similar question only
yesterday. Lots can be learned by following the replies
to others' questions.. :-)
But see below.

You have above defined 'miraboo.com' with an SOA, 2 NS and 1 A and=20
1 MX record.
Thus, you are not allowed to have a CNAME with the label 'miraboo.com'
(or @ which means the same in this case) too like you are defining here. =
There must not be any other records for the same label as a CNAME
has (except SIG, NXT).
This is due to the way CNAMEs are handled. For details have a look
at the relevant RFCs (1034 and 1035, available from =
http://www.rfc-editor.org)
If you want web-traffic for miraboo.com.sg to go to
www.miraboomucis.com, use an A record pointing to their
webserver instead of a CNAME record. (You have an A record
already, is that the same IP address?)
(In the long term SRV records will make it easier to do these things
more flexibly, but currently there is a dictinct lack of SRV support
in most applications, eg web-browsers etc).
