Modern Singapore was founded as a <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom" id="mwCw">British</a> trading colony in 1819, and since independence, it has become one of the world's most prosperous countries and boasts one of the world's busiest ports. Singaporean food is legendary, with bustling hawker centres and 24-hour coffee shops offering affordable food from all parts of <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Asia" title="Asia" id="mwDA">Asia</a>. Combining the skyscrapers and subways of an affluent, futuristic and modern city with a medley of different Asian cultures such as the Chinese, Malay and Indian influences and a tropical climate, with tasty food, good shopping and a vibrant nightlife scene, this Garden City makes a great stopover or springboard into the region. The country has a partly deserved reputation for its sterile predictability and neutrality. Nevertheless, the "Switzerland of Asia" is for many a welcome respite from the chaos, dirt and poverty of much of the rest of Southeast Asia. If you scratch below the squeaky clean surface and get away from the tourist trail you'll soon find more than meets the eye in one of the few remaining city-states in the world. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" id="mwDg" data-mw='{"autoGenerated":true}'/></section><section data-mw-section-id="1" id="mwDw"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2" id="mwCRM"><h2 id="Districts">Districts</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Districts" id="mwCRY">edit</a>]</div> Sometimes referred to as the Little Red Dot (originally coined as a pejorative by the late former Indonesian president B. J. Habibie) or the Lion City (a literal translation of the original Sanskrit name), Singapore is a small country on a small island with close to six and a half million people. It is a fairly crowded city and in fact, it is second only to <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Monaco" title="Monaco" id="mwEw">Monaco</a> as the world's most densely populated country. Unlike many other densely populated countries, Singapore has over 50% of its area covered in greenery and with over 50 major parks and 4 nature reserves; it is an enchanting city in a garden. Large self-contained residential towns have mushroomed all over the island, around the clean and modern city centre. The centre of the city is in the south and consists roughly of the Orchard Road shopping area, the Riverside, the new Marina Bay area and also the skyscraper-filled Shenton Way financial district. All of this is known in acronym-loving Singapore as the CBD (Central Business District). <section data-mw-section-id="2" id="mwFg"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCRk"><h3 id="Singapore_CBD">Singapore CBD</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Singapore CBD" id="mwCRw">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-kartographer-container thumb tright" typeof="mw:Extension/mapframe mw:Transclusion" about="#mwt7" id="mwFw" data-mw='{"name":"mapframe","attrs":{"align":"right","height":"420","image":"","latitude":"1.2916","longitude":"103.8503","show":"map1,mask","text":"<div class=\"magnify\" title=\"Enlarge map\"><maplink class=\"no-icon\" image=\"\" latitude=\"1.2916\" longitude=\"103.8503\" show=\"mask,around,buy,city,do,event,drink,eat,go,listing,other,see,sleep,vicinity,view,black,blue,brown,chocolate,forestgreen,gold,gray,grey,lime,magenta,maroon,mediumaquamarine,navy,red,royalblue,orange,silver,steelblue,teal,fuchsia,route1,route2,route3,route4,route5\" title=\"\" url=\"\" zoom=\"14\"></maplink></div>Map of Singapore City Centre.

Here, "Blk 505" is the housing block number (Blk = Block), "Bedok Nth Ave 3" is the street name/number, and "#19-315" means floor 19 apartment 315. The first digit of both housing block and street number is the neighbourhood's number (in this case 5), making it easier to narrow down the right location. There are also 6-digit <a rel="mw:WikiLink/Interwiki" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal%20codes%20in%20Singapore" title="w:Postal codes in Singapore" class="extiw" id="mwRA">postal codes</a>, with the last three digits corresponding to exactly one building. For example, "Blk 181 Bedok North Rd" is "Singapore 460181". Finally, you will also encounter Malay terms in addresses: the most commonly used are Jalan (Jln) for "Road", Lorong (Lor) for "Lane", Bukit (Bt) for "Hill" and Kampong (Kg) for "Village". Useful tools for hunting down addresses include <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.streetdirectory.com" class="external text" id="mwTw">StreetDirectory.com</a>, <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://gothere.sg" class="external text" id="mwUQ">GoThere.sg</a> and <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.onemap.sg" class="external text" id="mwUw">OneMap.sg</a>. The "Blk" and unit number can and should be omitted when entering addresses into these sites: "505 Bedok Nth Ave 3" will do. </section></section><section data-mw-section-id="5" id="mwVA"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2" id="mwCSs"><h2 id="Understand">Understand</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Understand" id="mwCS4">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwVQ"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Skylines_of_the_Central_Business_District,_Singapore_at_dusk.jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mwVg"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Skylines_of_the_Central_Business_District,_Singapore_at_dusk.jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/Skylines_of_the_Central_Business_District%2C_Singapore_at_dusk.jpg/220px-Skylines_of_the_Central_Business_District%2C_Singapore_at_dusk.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="5106" data-file-height="3404" data-file-type="bitmap" height="147" width="220" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/Skylines_of_the_Central_Business_District%2C_Singapore_at_dusk.jpg/330px-Skylines_of_the_Central_Business_District%2C_Singapore_at_dusk.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/Skylines_of_the_Central_Business_District%2C_Singapore_at_dusk.jpg/440px-Skylines_of_the_Central_Business_District%2C_Singapore_at_dusk.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwVw"/></a><figcaption id="mwWA">The Singapore CBD skyline</figcaption></figure> Singapore is a microcosm of Asia, populated by Chinese, Malays, Indians and a large group of workers and expatriates from all around the globe, in a country that can be crossed in barely an hour.

According to legend, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Sumatra" title="Sumatra" id="mwXw">Srivijayan</a> prince Sang Nila Utama landed on the island in the 13th century and, catching sight of a strange creature that he thought was a lion, decided to found a new city he called Singapura, Sanskrit for Lion City. Alas, there have never been any lions anywhere near Singapore or elsewhere on Malaya, so the mysterious beast was more probably a tiger or wild boar. More historical records indicate that the island was settled at least two centuries earlier and was known as Temasek, Javanese for "Sea Town", and an important port for the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Sumatra" title="Sumatra" id="mwZA">Sumatran</a> Srivijaya kingdom. However, Srivijaya fell around 1400 and Temasek, battered by the feuding kingdoms of <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Thailand" title="Thailand" id="mwZQ">Siam</a> and the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Java" title="Java" id="mwZg">Javanese</a> Majapahit, fell into obscurity. As Singapura, it then briefly regained importance as a trading centre for the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Malacca" title="Malacca" id="mwZw">Melaka</a> Sultanate and later, the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Johor" title="Johor" id="mwaA">Johor</a> Sultanate. However, Portuguese raiders then destroyed the settlement and Singapura faded into obscurity once more. The story of Singapore as we know it today thus began in 1819, when Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles made a deal with a claimant to the throne of the Sultanate of <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Johor" title="Johor" id="mwaw">Johor</a>: the British would support his claim in exchange for the right to set up a trading post on the island. Though the Dutch initially protested, an Anglo-Dutch treaty was signed in 1824 separating the Malay world into British and Dutch spheres of influence (resulting in the current <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Malaysia" title="Malaysia" id="mwbA">Malaysia</a>-<a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Indonesia" title="Indonesia" id="mwbQ">Indonesia</a> and Singapore-Indonesia borders).

As traders flocked to escape onerous Dutch taxes, the trading post soon grew into one of Asia's busiest, drawing people from far and wide. Along with <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Penang" title="Penang" id="mwcg">Penang</a> and Malacca, Singapore became one of the Straits Settlements and a jewel in the British colonial crown. Its economic fortunes received a further boost when palm oil and rubber from other parts of Malaya were processed and shipped out via Singapore. In 1867, the Straits Settlements were split off from <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/British_Raj" title="British Raj" id="mwdA">British India</a> and made into a directly ruled Crown Colony. When <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Pacific_War" title="Pacific War" id="mwdg">World War II</a> broke out, Fortress Singapore was seen as a formidable British base, with massive naval fortifications guarding against assault by sea. However, not only did the fortress lack a fleet - as most ships were tied up defending Britain from the Germans - but the Japanese wisely chose to cross Malaya by bicycle instead. Despite hastily turning their artillery around, this was something the British had not prepared for, and on 15 February 1942, with supplies critically low after less than a week of fighting, Singapore ignominiously surrendered. The colony's erstwhile rulers were packed off to Changi Prison, and tens of thousands of Singaporeans perished in the subsequent brutal occupation. The British returned in 1945, but it was clear that their time was coming to an end. <table class="cquote" role="presentation" style="margin:auto; display: table; border-collapse: collapse; border: none; color: var(--color-base); background-color: transparent; width: auto; " about="#mwt63" typeof="mw:Transclusion" id="mweA" data-mw='{"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"quote","href":"./Template:Quote"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"But if you are a troublemaker... it's our job to politically destroy you."},"author":{"wt":"Lee Kuan Yew"},"source":{"wt":"when commenting on his political rivalries."}},"i":0}}]}'> <tbody><tr><td style="width: 20px; vertical-align: top; border: none; color: #B2B7F2; font-size: 40px; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: .6em; text-align: left; padding: 10px 10px;">“</td> <td style="vertical-align: top; border: none; padding: 4px 10px;">But if you are a troublemaker... it's our job to politically destroy you.</td> <td style="width: 20px; vertical-align: bottom; border: none; color: #B2B7F2; font-size: 40px; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: .6em; text-align: right; padding: 10px 10px;">”</td></tr> <tr> <td colspan="3" class="cquotecite" style="border: none; padding-right: 4%"><cite style="font-style: normal;">—Lee Kuan Yew, when commenting on his political rivalries.</cite></td></tr> </tbody></table> Granted self-rule in 1955, Singapore briefly joined the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Malaysia" title="Malaysia" id="mweg">Malaysian</a> Federation in 1963 when the British left, but was expelled in the aftermath of two bloody racial riots in 1964, because the Chinese-majority city was seen as a threat to Malay dominance. Consequently, when the island became independent on 9 August 1965, Singapore became the only country in the history of the modern world to gain independence against its own will. The subsequent 25 years of iron-fisted rule by the late prime minister Lee Kuan Yew saw Singapore's economy boom, with the country rapidly becoming one of the wealthiest and most developed in Asia despite its lack of natural resources, earning it a place as one of the four East Asian Tigers. The ruling People's Action Party (PAP) continues to dominate the political scene with 83 out of 93 seats in Parliament in the 2020 general election. Societal restrictions have been loosened up though, with the government trying to shake off its staid image, and it remains to be seen how the delicate balancing act between political control and social freedom will play out. In modern times, Singapore has tried to position itself as a neutral state balancing the interests of major world powers such as the United States and China. This has made Singapore a popular alternative to Switzerland for diplomatically sensitive talks between foreign leaders, such as the meeting between Chinese president Xi Jinping and Taiwanese president Ma Ying-jeou in 2015, and the meeting between American president Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in 2018. </section><section data-mw-section-id="7" id="mwfw"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCTc"><h3 id="People">People</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: People" id="mwCTo">edit</a>]</div> Singapore prides itself on being a multi-racial country and has diverse cultures despite its small size. Singaporeans make up two-thirds of the population. The largest group are the Chinese (about 75%), in which the largest subgroups are the Hokkien, Teochew and Cantonese speakers, with Mandarin acting as the lingua franca of the community. Other notable dialect groups among the Chinese include the Hakkas, Hainanese, Foochows and Henghuas. Malays, who are comprised of descendants of Singapore's original inhabitants as well as migrants from present day Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei, form about 14% of all Singaporeans. Indians, which in Singapore also includes people who trace their ancestry to modern-day Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, form about 9% of residents. Among the Indians, Tamils form the largest group by far, though there are also significant numbers of speakers of other Indian languages such as Malayalam, Punjabi, Gujarati, Sindhi and Hindi. The remainder are a mix of many other cultures, most notably the Eurasians who are of mixed European and Asian descent, and also the Peranakans or Straits Chinese, who are of mixed Chinese and Malay descent. Other smaller communities include the Parsis, Arabs, most of whom trace their ancestry to Hadhramaut in modern-day <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Yemen" title="Yemen" id="mwgg">Yemen</a>, and Jews, most of whom trace their ancestry to <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Baghdad" title="Baghdad" id="mwgw">Baghdad</a> in modern-day <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Iraq" title="Iraq" id="mwhA">Iraq</a> (though these days the Singaporean Jewish community is far outnumbered by expatriate Jews from Israel and Western countries). <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwhQ"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Singapore_skyline_viewed_from_Gardens_by_the_Bay_East_-_20120426.jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mwhg"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Singapore_skyline_viewed_from_Gardens_by_the_Bay_East_-_20120426.jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1f/Singapore_skyline_viewed_from_Gardens_by_the_Bay_East_-_20120426.jpg/220px-Singapore_skyline_viewed_from_Gardens_by_the_Bay_East_-_20120426.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="7360" data-file-height="4757" data-file-type="bitmap" height="142" width="220" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1f/Singapore_skyline_viewed_from_Gardens_by_the_Bay_East_-_20120426.jpg/330px-Singapore_skyline_viewed_from_Gardens_by_the_Bay_East_-_20120426.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1f/Singapore_skyline_viewed_from_Gardens_by_the_Bay_East_-_20120426.jpg/440px-Singapore_skyline_viewed_from_Gardens_by_the_Bay_East_-_20120426.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwhw"/></a><figcaption id="mwiA">The Marina Bay Sands and Singapore Flyer</figcaption></figure> Singapore has always been an open country and at least a third of its population has arrived from elsewhere. They range from Burmese to Japanese to Thais and many others. There's also a large number of Filipinos, many of them working in the service industry or as domestic helpers. Throngs of happily smiling and chattering Filipinas may be seen in public spaces, one of which is a shopping mall named Lucky Plaza situated along Orchard Road, on Sundays when they take their only day off. However, a marked increase in migration from China and India has led to some simmering discontent and larger pockets of Mandarin-only speakers. Singapore is by some measures the most religiously diverse country in the world with no religious group forming a majority, and religious freedom guaranteed by the constitution. <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Buddhism" title="Buddhism" id="mwjA">Buddhism</a> is the largest religion with about one-third of the population declaring themselves Buddhist.

Rain falls almost daily throughout the year, usually in sudden, heavy showers that rarely last longer than an hour. However, most rainfall occurs during the northeast monsoon (November to January), occasionally featuring lengthy spells of continuous rain. Spectacular thunderstorms can occur throughout the year, any time during the day, so it's wise to carry an umbrella at all times, both as a shade from the sun and a cover from the rain. Between May and October, forest fires in neighbouring <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Sumatra" title="Sumatra" id="mwmQ">Sumatra</a> can also cause dense haze, although this is unpredictable and comes and goes rapidly: check with the <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.haze.gov.sg" class="external text" id="mwmg">National Environment Agency</a> for up-to-date conditions. The temperature averages around: <ul id="mwnA"><li id="mwnQ">30°C (86°F) daytime, 24°C (76°F) at night in December and January.</li> <li id="mwng">32°C (90°F) daytime, 25°C (81°F) at night for the rest of the year.</li></ul> Singapore's lowest temperature ever was 19.4°C (66.9°F), recorded in 1934, with its highest temperature ever being 37.0°C (98.6°F), recorded in 2023. The high temperature and humidity, combined with the lack of wind and the fact that temperatures stay high during the night, can take its toll on visitors from colder parts of the world. Bear in mind that spending more than about an hour outdoors can be very exhausting, especially if combined with moderate exercise. Singaporeans themselves shun the heat, and for a good reason. Many live in air-conditioned flats, work in air-conditioned offices, take the air-conditioned metro to air-conditioned shopping malls connected to each other by underground tunnels where they shop, eat, and exercise in air-conditioned fitness clubs, only venturing out early in the morning and at night. Follow their example if you want to avoid discomfort in the searing heat and humidity of Singapore. </section><section data-mw-section-id="9" id="mwoQ"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCUM"><h3 id="Units_of_measure">Units of measure</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Units of measure" id="mwCUY">edit</a>]</div> Singapore is for the most part fully metricated, but two holdovers from the British imperial system are the measure of property sizes, which are still advertised in square feet, and clothing sizes, which are still advertised in inches. </section><section data-mw-section-id="10" id="mwow"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCUk"><h3 id="Politics">Politics</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Politics" id="mwCUw">edit</a>]</div> Singapore is a parliamentary republic modelled on the British Westminster system, though unlike the bicameral British parliament, Singapore's parliament is a unicameral legislature made up of 93 popularly-elected members, and a small number of appointed members with limited voting rights. The president serves as Singapore's head of state and is popularly elected every six years, though the constitution requires that presidential candidates have served as a government minister, or as a CEO or chairman of the board of directors in a large company for a significant amount of time before being allowed to stand for election, effectively limiting the number of people who are qualified to be presidential candidates. The current president is Tharman Shanmugaratnam, who took office in September 2023 after a landslide victory in the presidential election. The president's role is largely ceremonial, with the prime minister wielding the most authority in government. The prime minister is the head of government, and is typically the leader of the party with the most seats in parliament. The current prime minister is Lawrence Wong, leader of the People's Action Party (PAP), the only party that has governed since independence. Parliamentary elections are held every five years, depending on circumstances, and are regularly contested by opposition parties. Press control and restrictions on freedom of speech are a contributing factor against making any significant headway in unseating the ruling party. Nevertheless, Singapore's elections are generally free from corruption and electoral fraud. </section><section data-mw-section-id="11" id="mwpw"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCU8"><h3 id="Holidays">Holidays</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Holidays" id="mwCVI">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwqA"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Singapore_CNY_Tinsel.JPG" class="mw-file-description" id="mwqQ"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Singapore_CNY_Tinsel.JPG" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Singapore_CNY_Tinsel.JPG/220px-Singapore_CNY_Tinsel.JPG" decoding="async" data-file-width="3008" data-file-height="2000" data-file-type="bitmap" height="146" width="220" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Singapore_CNY_Tinsel.JPG/330px-Singapore_CNY_Tinsel.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Singapore_CNY_Tinsel.JPG/440px-Singapore_CNY_Tinsel.JPG 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwqg"/></a><figcaption id="mwqw">New Year decorations in Chinatown</figcaption></figure> Singapore is a secular city state but due to its multicultural population, Singapore celebrates Chinese, Muslim, Hindu, and Christian holidays. <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r4916054" typeof="mw:Extension/templatestyles mw:Transclusion" about="#mwt67" id="mwrQ" data-mw='{"name":"templatestyles","attrs":{"src":"Template:Infobox/styles.css"},"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"infobox","href":"./Template:Infobox"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"''Gong xi fa cai'' Singapore style"},"2":{"wt":"There are a few twists to the Singapore way of celebrating Chinese New Year, particularly the '''food''', which bears little resemblance to the steamy hotpots of frigid northern China.

While this might seem to be an ideal time to visit, many smaller shops and eateries are closed for 2–3 days during the period, though convenience stores like 7-Eleven, supermarkets, department stores, cinemas, fast-food restaurants and high end restaurants will remain open. The whole festival stretches out for a full 15 days, but the frenzied build-up to the peak occurs just before the night of the new moon, with exhortations of gong xi fa cai (恭喜发财 "congratulations and prosper"), red tinsel, mandarin oranges and the year's zodiac animal emblazoned everywhere and crowds of shoppers queuing in <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Chinatown" title="Singapore/Chinatown" id="mwsw">Chinatown</a>, where there are also extensive street decorations to add spice to the festive mood. The two following days are spent with family, and then life returns to normal ... except for the final burst of Chingay, a colourful parade near the Singapore Flyer, held about ten days later. On the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar, the Dragon Boat Festival (端午节) is celebrated to commemorate a Chinese folk hero. As part of the celebrations, rice dumplings (肉粽 bak chang), which in Singapore are sometimes wrapped in fragrant pandan leaves instead of the original bamboo leaves, are usually eaten. In addition, dragon boat races are often held at the Singapore River on this day. The seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar — usually August — starts off with a puff of smoke, as "hell money" is burned and food offerings are made to please the spirits of ancestors who are said to return to earth at this time. This is the Hungry Ghost Festival (中元节), when the living get together to stuff themselves and watch plays and Chinese opera performances. Following soon afterwards, the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节) on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month (Sep/Oct) is also a major event, with elaborate lantern decorations — particularly at Gardens by the Bay and Jurong's <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/North_and_West" title="Singapore/North and West" id="mwvA">Chinese Garden</a> — and mooncakes that are typically filled with lotus paste, nuts, and more consumed merrily. <p about="#mwt73" typeof="mw:Transclusion" id="mwvw" data-mw="{"parts":["The Hindu festival of lights, Diwali, known locally as '''Deepavali''', is celebrated around October or November and [[Singapore/Little India|Little India]] is brightly decorated for the occasion.

Nothing (including water and cigarettes) is supposed to pass through the lips from dawn to sunset. Non-Muslims are exempt from this, but should still refrain from eating or drinking in public as this is considered very impolite. Working hours are decreased as well in the corporate world.

Another festival celebrated by the Malays is Eid-ul-Adha, known locally as Hari Raya Haji, which is the period when Muslims make the trip to Mecca to perform in Hajj. In local mosques, lambs contributed by the faithful are sacrificed and their meat is used to feed the poor. Christmas Day is also a major festive occasion in Singapore, and Orchard road is extensively lined with street decorations for the occasion. Christian families in Singapore usually celebrate the occasion with a variant of the traditional British Christmas dinner, with ham, turkey and a Yule log or a Christmas fruit cake. However, the Eurasian community has its own unique Christmas meal tradition, which incorporates numerous uniquely Eurasian dishes such as devil's curry. Since 2011, at the request of the local rabbi, a menorah has also been installed along Orchard Road alongside the Christmas decorations every December for Hanukkah. The Buddhist Vesak Day, celebrating the birthday of the Buddha Sakyamuni, and Good Friday round out the list of holidays. A more secular celebration occurs on 9 August, National Day, when fluttering flags fill Singapore and spectacular National Day parades are held to celebrate independence. </section><section data-mw-section-id="12" id="mwyw"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCVU"><h3 id="Events">Events</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Events" id="mwCVg">edit</a>]</div> Singapore holds numerous events each year. Some of its famous festivals and events include the Singapore Food Festival, the Singapore Formula One Grand Prix, the Singapore Arts Festival, the Chingay Parade, the World Gourmet Summit and ZoukOut. Christmas is also widely celebrated in Singapore, a season where the city streets and shopping malls along its famous shopping belt, Orchard Road, are lit up and decorated in vibrant colours. In addition, the Singapore Jewel Festival attracts numerous tourists every year, and is a display of precious gems, famous jewels and masterpieces from international jewellers and designers. </section><section data-mw-section-id="13" id="mw1g"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCVs"><h3 id="Visitor_information">Visitor information</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Visitor information" id="mwCV4">edit</a>]</div> <ul id="mw1w"><li id="mw2A"><a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://www.visitsingapore.com/en/" class="external text" id="mw2Q">visitsingapore.com</a></li></ul> </section></section><section data-mw-section-id="14" id="mw2g"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2" id="mwCWE"><h2 id="Talk">Talk</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Talk" id="mwCWQ">edit</a>]</div> <dl about="#mwt76" typeof="mw:Transclusion" id="mw2w" data-mw='{"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"See also","href":"./Template:See_also"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Chinese phrasebook"},"2":{"wt":"Malay phrasebook"},"3":{"wt":"Tamil phrasebook"},"4":{"wt":"English language varieties"}},"i":0}}]}'><dd>See also: <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Chinese_phrasebook" title="Chinese phrasebook">Chinese phrasebook</a>, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Malay_phrasebook" title="Malay phrasebook">Malay phrasebook</a>, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Tamil_phrasebook" title="Tamil phrasebook">Tamil phrasebook</a>, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/English_language_varieties" title="English language varieties">English language varieties</a></dd></dl> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r4916054" about="#mwt77" typeof="mw:Extension/templatestyles mw:Transclusion" id="mw3A" data-mw="{"name":"templatestyles","attrs":{"src":"Template:Infobox/styles.css"},"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"infobox","href":"./Template:Infobox"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Who are the people in your neighbourhood?"},"2":{"wt":"The Big 3 &mdash;

However, the distinctive local patois, Singlish, may be hard to understand at times, as it incorporates slang words and phrases from other languages, including various Chinese dialects, Malay, and Tamil as well as English words whose pronunciation or meaning have been changed. Additionally, it has an odd way of structuring sentences, due to the original speakers being mostly Chinese, resulting in most Singlish sentences having Chinese grammar. Complex consonant clusters are simplified, articles and plurals disappear, verb tenses are replaced by adverbs, questions are altered to fit the Chinese syntax and non-English particles (especially the infamous "lah") appear: <table class="wikitable" id="mw5A"> <caption id="mw5Q">Examples of Singlish sentences and respective English meanings</caption> <tbody id="mw5g"><tr id="mw5w"><th id="mw6A">Singlish</th> <th id="mw6Q">English</th></tr> <tr id="mw6g"> <td id="mw6w">You wan beer or not? -- Dunwan lah, dring five bottle oreddi.</td> <td id="mw7Q">Do you want a beer? -- No, thanks; I've already had five bottles.</td></tr> <tr id="mw7g"> <td id="mw7w">Later wan go mall lepak abit? -- Ok, steady lah!</td> <td id="mw8Q">Do you want to chill at the mall for a while later? -- Ok, good!</td></tr> <tr id="mw8g"> <td id="mw8w">He today taiko, kena tekan by his boss, so jialat.</td> <td id="mw9Q">He was 'lucky' to be scolded by his boss today, seeming very much in trouble.</td></tr> </tbody></table> Thanks to nationwide language education campaigns, most younger Singaporeans are, however, capable of speaking what the government calls "good English" (British) when necessary. Moreover, it is common for Singaporeans from more affluent backgrounds to attend university in the United Kingdom or United States. To avoid unintentional offence, it's best to start off with standard English and shift to simplified pidgin only if it becomes evident that the other person cannot follow you. Try to resist the temptation to sprinkle your speech with unnecessary Singlish words. You'll get a laugh if you do it right, but it sounds patronising if you do it wrong. Some 35% of Singaporeans speak English at home. Singapore's other official languages are <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Chinese_phrasebook" title="Chinese phrasebook" id="mw-A">Mandarin Chinese</a>, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Malay_phrasebook" title="Malay phrasebook" id="mw-Q">Malay</a>, and <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Tamil_phrasebook" title="Tamil phrasebook" id="mw-g">Tamil</a>, mostly spoken by the Singaporean Chinese, Malay and Indian ethnic groups respectively. Governmental offices are required by law to provide all services in all four official languages. Like English, the Mandarin spoken in Singapore has also evolved into a distinctive creole and often incorporates words from other Chinese dialects, Malay, and English, though all Singaporean Chinese are taught standard Mandarin in school. Chinese proficiency among the Chinese community varies significantly — some might have troubles in speaking or understanding Mandarin on a conversational level. Various Chinese dialects (mostly <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Minnan_phrasebook" title="Minnan phrasebook" id="mw-w">Hokkien</a>, though significant numbers also speak <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Teochew_phrasebook" title="Teochew phrasebook" id="mw_A">Teochew</a> and <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Cantonese_phrasebook" title="Cantonese phrasebook" id="mw_Q">Cantonese</a>) are also spoken between older ethnic Chinese of the same dialect group, though their use has virtually died out among the younger generation; most people born after 1980 cannot speak them unless they were raised by their grandparents. Other Indian languages, such as <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Punjabi_phrasebook" title="Punjabi phrasebook" id="mw_g">Punjabi</a> among the Sikhs, are also spoken. The official Chinese script used in Singapore is the simplified script used in mainland China. As such, all official publications (including local newspapers) and signs are in simplified Chinese, and it is simplified Chinese that is taught in schools. Some of the older generation still prefer traditional script, and the popularity of Hong Kong and Taiwanese pop culture means that younger people may also be familiar with it. </section><section data-mw-section-id="15" id="mwAQA"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2" id="mwCWc"><h2 id="Get_in">Get in</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Get in" id="mwCWo">edit</a>]</div> <section data-mw-section-id="16" id="mwAQE"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCW0"><h3 id="Entry_requirements">Entry requirements</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Entry requirements" id="mwCXA">edit</a>]</div> Citizens of <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Australia" title="Australia" id="mwAQM">Australia</a>, the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/European_Union" title="European Union" id="mwAQQ">European Union</a>, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/New_Zealand" title="New Zealand" id="mwAQU">New Zealand</a>, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Norway" title="Norway" id="mwAQY">Norway</a>, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/South_Korea" title="South Korea" id="mwAQc">South Korea</a>, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Switzerland" title="Switzerland" id="mwAQg">Switzerland</a> the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom" id="mwAQk">United Kingdom</a> and the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/United_States_of_America" title="United States of America" id="mwAQo">United States</a> do not need a <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Visa" title="Visa" id="mwAQs">visa</a> for stays of 90 days or less.

Indian citizens visiting Singapore under the scheme may enter Singapore by any mode of transport, but must depart by air or sea. No visa is required for transit at Changi Airport as long as you don't leave the secure area and your connecting flight leaves within 24 hours. All travellers entering Singapore, including Singapore citizens, are required to complete a <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://eservices.ica.gov.sg/sgarrivalcard/" class="external text" id="mwATw">SG Arrival Card</a> online no earlier than 3 days before your arrival date. If you have not done this before you get off the aeroplane, you may complete this form using the computers near the immigration desks. Once completed, you will receive an e-mail containing a barcode that you can scan at the immigration counter or you can use a screenshot of the confirmation page. All visitors to Singapore can use the automated clearance gates, with no pre-enrollment required. Manual counters are still available for families with children under 6. Singapore no longer stamps passports for visitors: you will receive your terms of entry at the email address you provided in the SG Arrival Card. Citizens of African and South American countries, and travellers who have recently been to Africa or South America, require a yellow fever vaccination certificate for entry into Singapore. Single women from poorer countries planning long stays for tourism may have trouble getting a visa, due to problems with "illegal activity" (presumably prostitution). Hippie types may expect a little extra attention from Customs, but getting a shave and a haircut is no longer a condition for entry. Males who enter Singapore illegally or who overstay their permits by more than 14 days face a mandatory sentence of three strokes of the cane. </section><section data-mw-section-id="17" id="mwAUM"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCXM"><h3 id="Customs_requirements">Customs requirements</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Customs requirements" id="mwCXY">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r4916054" about="#mwt80" typeof="mw:Extension/templatestyles mw:Transclusion" id="mwAUQ" data-mw='{"name":"templatestyles","attrs":{"src":"Template:Infobox/styles.css"},"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"infobox","href":"./Template:Infobox"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Banned in Singapore"},"2":{"wt":"There's more to the list than just porn, firearms, and drugs, although not all of these restrictions are enforced in practice.\n* Littering\n* Smoking in non-smoking areas\n* Non-medical chewing gum/ bubble gum (not usually enforced)\n* Satellite dishes/ tampered radio receivers\n* Free standing billboards\n* Handcuffs, even if pink and fuzzy\n* Feeding pigeons or monkeys\n* Displaying foreign flags\n* Malaysian newspapers\n"}},"i":0}}]}'/> <table class="pp_infobox infobox" style="float:right; clear:right; margin-left: 1em; width:40%;" cellpadding="8" cellspacing="1" about="#mwt80"> <tbody><tr><td> <div style="font-weight:bold;">Banned in Singapore</div> There's more to the list than just porn, firearms, and drugs, although not all of these restrictions are enforced in practice. <ul><li>Littering</li> <li>Smoking in non-smoking areas</li> <li>Non-medical chewing gum/ bubble gum (not usually enforced)</li> <li>Satellite dishes/ tampered radio receivers</li> <li>Free standing billboards</li> <li>Handcuffs, even if pink and fuzzy</li> <li>Feeding pigeons or monkeys</li> <li>Displaying foreign flags</li> <li>Malaysian newspapers</li></ul></td></tr> </tbody></table> Singapore has very strict drug laws, and drug trafficking carries a mandatory death penalty that is applied to everyone including foreigners. Even if you haven't entered Singapore and are merely transiting (i.e. changing flights without the need to clear immigration and customs) while in possession of drugs, you would still be subject to Singaporean law and capital punishment. Poppy seeds are also prohibited, as they contain morphine and are hence classified as a controlled substance. A positive urine test or a positive swab test of your belongings is sufficient grounds for you to be denied entry to Singapore and deported, even if no drugs are found in your possession. Bringing in explosives or firearms without a permit is also a capital offense in Singapore. The importation of some types of weapons such as shuriken, nunchaku, switchblade knives, butterfly knives and chain whips is prohibited, and permits to import these will not be issued under any circumstances. Bring prescriptions for any prescribed medicines you may have with you. If you are bringing in more than 3 months' supply of any medication or if you are bringing in any sedatives (e.g. Valium/diazepam) or strong painkillers (e.g. codeine ingredients), you need to apply to the <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.hsa.gov.sg/content/hsa/en/Health_Products_Regulation/Consumer_Information/Personal_Import_Regulations/bringing_personal_medication_into_Singapore.html" class="external text" id="mwAUw">Singapore Health Sciences Authority</a> for approval at least 10 working days before your expected arrival in Singapore. Duty free allowances for alcohol are one litre each of wine, beer and spirits, though the 1 L of spirits may be replaced with 1 L of wine or beer. Travellers entering from Malaysia are not entitled to any duty free allowance. Alcohol may not be brought in by persons under the age of 18. There is no duty free allowance for cigarettes: all cigarettes legally sold in Singapore are stamped "SDPC", and smokers caught with unmarked cigarettes may be fined $500 per pack. (In practice, though, bringing in one opened pack is usually tolerated.) If you declare your cigarettes or excess booze at customs, you can opt to pay the tax or let the customs officers keep the cigarettes until your departure. Importing non-medical chewing gum is illegal, but in practice customs officers would usually not bother with a few sticks for personal consumption. E-cigarettes are illegal, and you are required to declare and dispose of them at customs; failure to do so could potentially result in hefty fines and imprisonment. The 9% <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="#Goods_and_Services_Tax_(GST)" class="mw-selflink-fragment" id="mwAVU">goods and services tax (GST)</a> is levied on all other imported goods (except those subject to excise and duty). There is a $500 GST relief for travellers who stayed 48 hours or longer outside Singapore, and a $100 relief for those who stayed shorter. In addition to on-the-spot declaration and payment at border checkpoints, you can declare goods and pay GST through <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://m.customs.gov.sg/CustomsTravellerPortal" class="external text" id="mwAVY">Customs@SG Web Application</a> and show the receipt to customs officers. There is no restriction on the amount of money that can be brought in or out of Singapore. However, you are required to declare to customs if you are bringing in or out anything more than $20,000 or its equivalent in foreign currency. The declaration can be made when you are filling in your Singapore Arrival Card, or through <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://eservices5.police.gov.sg/e727/CBNIForm" class="external text" id="mwAVg">this website</a>. Not declaring exposes to you to arrest, heavy fines and possible imprisonment. Pornography, pirated goods and publications by the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Unification Church may not be imported to Singapore, and all baggage is scanned at land and sea entry points. In theory, all entertainment media including movies and video games must be sent to the Board of Censors for approval before they can be brought into Singapore, but that is rarely if ever enforced for original (non-pirated) goods. </section><section data-mw-section-id="18" id="mwAV4"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCXk"><h3 id="By_plane">By plane</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: By plane" id="mwCXw">edit</a>]</div> Singapore is one of Southeast Asia's largest aviation hubs, so unless you're coming from <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Peninsular_Malaysia" title="Peninsular Malaysia" class="mw-redirect" id="mwAWA">Peninsular Malaysia</a> or <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Batam" title="Batam" id="mwAWE">Batam</a>/<a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Bintan" title="Bintan" id="mwAWI">Bintan</a> in Indonesia, the easiest way to enter Singapore is by air.

It regularly shows up in "Best Airport" rankings and is big, pleasant, and well-organised, with remarkably fast immigration and baggage distribution. The airport is split into four main terminals (T1, T2, T3 and T4). Taxis are the fastest way to the city, and will cost about $20–30 including a $5 airport surcharge ($3 for off-peak hours). An additional 50% surcharge applies 1-6AM. You can refer to <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://www.taxisingapore.com/taxi-fare/" class="external text" id="mwAYw">this site</a> for additional information on taxi rates and charges. On the MRT, it takes about 45 minutes to town with an easy transfer at Tanah Merah. A standard ticket to City Hall costs $2.30 + $0.10 non-refundable deposit, with trains running from 5:31AM to 11:18PM.

More expensive buses leave on time, use the Second Link, and do not stop along the way; while the cheapest buses may not be punctual, use the perpetually congested Causeway and might make more intercity stops. Book early for popular departure times like Friday evenings (heading from Singapore to Malaysia) and Sunday evenings (heading from Malaysia to Singapore), Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Aidilfitri, etc., and factor in some extra time for the expected congestion at the border; congestion can be assessed from the traffic cameras on the <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://onemotoring.lta.gov.sg/content/onemotoring/home/driving/traffic_information/traffic-cameras/woodlands.html#trafficCameras" class="external text" id="mwAd0">OneMotoring website</a>.

Besides having more optionality, fares are also much lower as you will be paying for a domestic fare in Malaysian ringgit, instead of the identical nominal amount in Singapore dollars. The downside is the time-consuming hassle (at least an additional hour of travelling time) of first getting to Johor Bahru and then getting to Larkin terminal on the outskirts of town. Another downside would also be the lack of domestic bus seats during festive seasons. Besides long-distance buses, there also regular public buses that ply between Johor Bahru and Singapore.

Terminals aside, all buses make two stops at Singapore immigration and at Malaysian immigration. At both immigration points, you must disembark with all your luggage and pass through passport control and customs, then board the next bus by showing your ticket. Expect a minimum of 30 minutes to clear both checkpoints during non-peak periods, with the expectation of an average clearing time of 1 hour during peak periods, 2 hours at the ends of extended holiday periods. To maximise train travel between downtown Singapore and Johor Bahru, the simplest option would be to take the MRT train within the downtown city area and disembark at Woodlands MRT, and then changing to the SMRT 950 bus to proceed to the Johor Bahru Checkpoint. Alternatively, another option would be to disembark at Kranji MRT, and then changing to the SBS 170X bus to proceed to the Johor Bahru Checkpoint. Another option to avoid congestion of the 170X and 950 bus routes during rush hour, would be to utilise other different SBS or SMRT buses that lead to the Woodlands Train Checkpoint bus stop, then walk 500m along the elevated footbridge to the Woodlands Checkpoint. </section><section data-mw-section-id="24" id="mwAmo"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCZ0"><h3 id="By_train">By train</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: By train" id="mwCaA">edit</a>]</div> Once the southern terminus of Malaysia's <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.ktmb.com.my" class="external text" id="mwAm0">Keretapi Tanah Melayu</a> (Malayan Railway or KTMB) network, the central Tanjong Pagar railway station has been decommissioned and KTMB trains now terminate at the JB Sentral railway station in <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Johor_Bahru" title="Johor Bahru" id="mwAm4">Johor Bahru</a>, Malaysia. A shuttle service connects the only remaining Singaporean station in Woodlands, right next to the Causeway, with JB Sentral. It is a 5-minute trip, but one-way tickets originating in Singapore will cost $5 while the reverse will cost RM5. From Woodlands, immigration formalities for both countries are carried out before boarding. From Johor Bahru, Malaysian immigration checks are conducted at JB Sentral before boarding, and Singapore immigration checks upon arrival at Woodlands. Taking immigration clearance time into account, the journey from Johor Bahru to Woodlands takes 30-60 minutes, while the reverse direction takes about 30 minutes. Shuttle trains will leave JB Sentral for Woodlands at 05:00, 05:25, 05:55, 06:20, 07:30, 08:40, 09:50, 11:20, 12:50, 14:20, 15:30, 16:40, 17:50, 19:00, 20:10, 21:20, 22:30 and leave Woodlands for JB Sentral at 07:20, 08:30, 09:40, 10:50, 12:20, 13:50, 15:20, 16:30, 17:40, 18:50, 20:00, 21:10, 22:20, 23:30. Gate opens 30 minutes before departure and closes 10 minutes before departure. On weekdays, the early morning departures from JB Sentral and evening departures from Woodlands cater to commuters working in Singapore, and sell out as soon as tickets are released for sale 30 days in advance. On weekends, morning departures from Woodlands and evening departures from JB Sentral are popular among day trippers to Johor Bahru, and sell out a few days before. If tickets are still available on the day of departure, they are sold up to 15 minutes before departure. For JB Sentral-Woodlands, at JB Sentral there are turnstiles installed at the departure gate (Gate A); scan the barcode or QR code on your ticket (can be one stored on a mobile device) to activate the turnstile. For Woodlands-JB Sentral, tickets bought online must be exchanged at the KTMB ticket counter before departure. For trains beyond Johor Bahru, see <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Johor_Bahru#By_train" title="Johor Bahru" id="mwAnI">Johor Bahru#By train</a> and <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Malaysia#By_train" title="Malaysia" id="mwAnM">Malaysia#By train</a> for details. In addition, Singapore is also the terminus for the <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://www.belmond.com/eastern-and-oriental-express/" class="external text" id="mwAnY">Eastern & Oriental Express</a>, a luxury train that makes the trip from <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Bangkok" title="Bangkok" id="mwAnc">Bangkok</a> in four days. It is very expensive, costing US$6,358 one-way. The Woodlands Train Checkpoint is unrelated to the Woodlands MRT station. From the Woodlands Train Checkpoint, you can take a bus to the Kranji, Marsiling or Woodlands MRT stations. Fortunately, the bus numbers to each MRT station are clearly signposted. To get to Woodlands Train Checkpoint from the MRT stations, however, you'll have to make sure the bus passes by "Woodlands Train Checkpoint", and not "Woodlands Checkpoint" which is the checkpoint facility for road vehicles without through access to the train checkpoint. Buses which serve Woodlands Train Checkpoint include 170 (from Kranji MRT station), 856 (from Woodlands and Marsiling MRT stations), 903 and 911 (from Woodlands MRT station). Although 912 (from Woodlands MRT station) also passes by the train checkpoint, it does so by a very long route and therefore not recommended. Note that while bus 170 is scheduled to serve "Woodlands Train Checkpoint" first before heading to "Woodlands Checkpoint", in the event of heavy traffic (i.e. during peak periods), buses can skip Woodlands Train Checkpoint and proceed directly to Woodlands Checkpoint - if unsure, inquire with the bus driver upon boarding to confirm the routing. </section><section data-mw-section-id="25" id="mwAno"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCaM"><h3 id="By_taxi">By taxi</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: By taxi" id="mwCaY">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwAns"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:201x_Proton_Persona_(CM)_Elegance_1.6_4-door_sedan_(Johor–Singapore_cross_border_taxi,_01)_(cropped).jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mwAnw"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:201x_Proton_Persona_(CM)_Elegance_1.6_4-door_sedan_(Johor–Singapore_cross_border_taxi,_01)_(cropped).jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/201x_Proton_Persona_%28CM%29_Elegance_1.6_4-door_sedan_%28Johor%E2%80%93Singapore_cross_border_taxi%2C_01%29_%28cropped%29.jpg/220px-201x_Proton_Persona_%28CM%29_Elegance_1.6_4-door_sedan_%28Johor%E2%80%93Singapore_cross_border_taxi%2C_01%29_%28cropped%29.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="2482" data-file-height="1892" data-file-type="bitmap" height="168" width="220" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/201x_Proton_Persona_%28CM%29_Elegance_1.6_4-door_sedan_%28Johor%E2%80%93Singapore_cross_border_taxi%2C_01%29_%28cropped%29.jpg/330px-201x_Proton_Persona_%28CM%29_Elegance_1.6_4-door_sedan_%28Johor%E2%80%93Singapore_cross_border_taxi%2C_01%29_%28cropped%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/201x_Proton_Persona_%28CM%29_Elegance_1.6_4-door_sedan_%28Johor%E2%80%93Singapore_cross_border_taxi%2C_01%29_%28cropped%29.jpg/440px-201x_Proton_Persona_%28CM%29_Elegance_1.6_4-door_sedan_%28Johor%E2%80%93Singapore_cross_border_taxi%2C_01%29_%28cropped%29.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwAn0"/></a><figcaption id="mwAn4">Johor-Singapore cross border taxi</figcaption></figure> While normal Singaporean taxis are not allowed to cross into Malaysia and vice versa, specially licensed Singaporean taxis permitted to go to Larkin bus terminal (only) can be booked from Johor Taxi Service <abbr title="phone" style="text-decoration:none" about="#mwt117" typeof="mw:Transclusion" id="mwAoA" data-mw='{"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"phone","href":"./Template:Phone"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"+65 6296 7054"}},"i":0}}]}'>☏</abbr> <bdi class="tel listing-phone" about="#mwt117" id="mwAoE"><a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="tel:+6562967054" class="external text">+65 6296 7054</a></bdi>, $80 one way), while Malaysian taxis, which can go anywhere in Malaysia, can be taken from the taxi terminal at Ban San St ($60 to charter, or $15/person if you share with others).

The main advantage here is that you do not need to lug your stuff (or yourself) through Customs at both ends; you can just sit in the car. Private "limousine" transport services offer point-to-point services from anywhere in Singapore to anywhere in Malaysia. These services are unlicensed and authorities crack down on drivers periodically, but it is not illegal to ride in one as a passenger. The standard fare is $100 for Singapore to Johor Bahru for a 4-passenger Toyota Innova. </section><section data-mw-section-id="26" id="mwAoQ"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCak"><h3 id="By_boat">By boat</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=26" title="Edit section: By boat" id="mwCaw">edit</a>]</div> Ferries link Singapore with the neighbouring <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Indonesia" title="Indonesia" id="mwAoY">Indonesian</a> province of <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Riau_Islands" title="Riau Islands" id="mwAoc">Riau Islands</a>, and the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Malaysia" title="Malaysia" id="mwAog">Malaysian</a> state of <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Johor" title="Johor" id="mwAok">Johor</a>.

This means the fare is calculated based on your origin and final destination. You can visit gothere.sg or download the gothere app to estimate your fare. The easiest way to pay for all public transport is to use any contactless Visa or Mastercard, which you can use to tap in to and out of any train or bus, including the Sentosa Express. Mobile phones with Apple Pay or Google Pay NFC payments work as well. Foreign-issued cards are charged an additional $0.60/day handling fee, but for short stays (i.e. up to eight days over a five-year period) this still works out cheaper than buying single tickets or forking out a non-refundable $5 for an EZ-link or Nets prepaid card. All trips can be viewed and statements can be downloaded by creating a <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://simplygo.transitlink.com.sg/FAQs" class="external text" id="mwAuk">TransitLink SimplyGo</a> account.

The EZ-link card costs $12 ($5 for the card itself and $7 stored value) whilst the NETS Prepaid card costs $10 ($5 for the card itself and $5 stored value), The cards can be "topped up" in increments of $2 or more. The cards are valid for five years. The cards can be topped up using cash or Singapore-issued credit or debit cards at ticketing machines located in train stations, or by cash at convenience stores. If you are leaving Singapore and you have some money on your card, you can go to any TransitLink ticket office for a refund, minus a $5 processing fee. The <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://thesingaporetouristpass.com.sg/type-of-passes/" class="external text" id="mwAvM">Singapore Tourist Pass</a> (STP) gives you unlimited rides for $10/16/20 for 1/2/3 days respectively, plus some discounts for attractions. However, given that most trips only cost $1.00-2.50, you would need to use the public transport system often during your stay for the STP to be worthwhile. Beyond the period of your STP, it will work like a regular EZ-link card. Paper tickets are no longer available for the MRT. They are still available on buses, but cost more, are a hassle to buy because the driver has to compute fare stages, don't allow transfers, and you get no change. Just tap a card instead.

They are a cheap, fast and reliable mode of transportation, and the network covers most points of interest for the visitor. Pay with a contactless credit card, EZ-Link or NETS Prepaid card. Paper tickets are no longer available for the MRT. Using any card is easy, just tap the reader at the ticket gate when entering and exiting paid areas of stations. All lines are seamlessly integrated, even if the lines are operated by different transport companies, so you do not need to buy a new ticket or go through multiple gates to transfer between different operators' lines. The stations are clean and equipped with free toilets. All stations have platform screen doors, so there is no risk of falling onto the tracks. The North-East Line, Circle Line, Downtown Line and all upcoming lines run underground and are operated automatically without a driver. It's worth walking up to the front of the train to check out the view of the tunnel ahead. Eating and drinking (even water) is strictly prohibited in the stations and trains, with offenders being liable for a $500 fine. When using escalators, stand on the left to allow those in a hurry to pass on the right. </section><section data-mw-section-id="33" id="mwAwY"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCdM"><h3 id="By_bus_2">By bus</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=33" title="Edit section: By bus" id="mwCdY">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwAwc"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:(SGP-Singapore)_Tower_Transit_SMB1429B_167_2024-02-04.jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mwAwg"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:(SGP-Singapore)_Tower_Transit_SMB1429B_167_2024-02-04.jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/%28SGP-Singapore%29_Tower_Transit_SMB1429B_167_2024-02-04.jpg/220px-%28SGP-Singapore%29_Tower_Transit_SMB1429B_167_2024-02-04.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="3190" data-file-height="2552" data-file-type="bitmap" height="176" width="220" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/%28SGP-Singapore%29_Tower_Transit_SMB1429B_167_2024-02-04.jpg/330px-%28SGP-Singapore%29_Tower_Transit_SMB1429B_167_2024-02-04.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/%28SGP-Singapore%29_Tower_Transit_SMB1429B_167_2024-02-04.jpg/440px-%28SGP-Singapore%29_Tower_Transit_SMB1429B_167_2024-02-04.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwAwk"/></a><figcaption id="mwAwo">Singapore bus</figcaption></figure> Buses connect various corners of Singapore, but are slower and harder to use than the MRT. On a long-distance bus, frequent stops and slow speeds may mean your journey could take two to three times as long as the same trip via MRT. Their main advantage is you get to see the sights rather than a dark underground tunnel, partly if you can snag a front seat on a double-decker, which make up a relatively huge percentage of buses in Singapore. Moreover, since there are a lot more bus stops than MRT stations, buses can often get you closer to your destination, which makes a big difference in the equatorial heat and humidity. All public buses in Singapore are air conditioned. There are four bus operators in Singapore: SBS Transit, SMRT Buses, Tower Transit and Go-Ahead, all of which use the same fare system. You can pay cash (coins) in buses, but the fare stage system is quite complex (it's easiest to ask the driver for the price to your destination), you are charged substantially more and there is no provision for getting change. Payment with a contactless credit card, EZ-Link or NETS Prepaid card is therefore the easiest method: tap your card against the reader at the front entrance of the bus when boarding, and a maximum fare is deducted from the card. When you alight, tap your card again at the exit, and the difference is refunded. Make sure you tap out, or you'll end up paying the maximum fare. Inspectors occasionally prowl buses to check that everybody has paid or tapped, so those who are on tourist day passes should tap before sitting down. Dishonest bus commuters risk getting fined $20 for not paying or underpaying fares (by premature tapping-out) and $50 for improper use of concession cards. As buses can come at irregular frequencies due to traffic conditions, it is advisable to use Bus Arrival Timing applications in order to know when the next bus arrives and plan your journey. The most popular apps include <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://www.lta.gov.sg/content/dam/ltagov/Home/PDF/MTM.pdf" class="external text" id="mwAw8">MyTransportSG</a> and <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://singabus-singapore-bus-timing-mrt-app-sg.en.softonic.com/android?ex=DINS-635.1" class="external text" id="mwAxE">Singabus</a>. Most trunk bus services have a frequency of between 10 and 15 minutes, while express bus services which have 3 digits and starts with 5 (e.g. 502) normally have a frequency of 20 minutes. Feeder bus services normally arrive every 5 to 15 minutes. </section><section data-mw-section-id="34" id="mwAxM"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCdk"><h3 id="By_boat_2">By boat</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=34" title="Edit section: By boat" id="mwCdw">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwAxQ"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Bumboat,_Singapore.jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mwAxU"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Bumboat,_Singapore.jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/Bumboat%2C_Singapore.jpg/220px-Bumboat%2C_Singapore.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="4532" data-file-height="1685" data-file-type="bitmap" height="82" width="220" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/Bumboat%2C_Singapore.jpg/330px-Bumboat%2C_Singapore.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/Bumboat%2C_Singapore.jpg/440px-Bumboat%2C_Singapore.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwAxY"/></a><figcaption id="mwAxc">Bumboat</figcaption></figure> Tourist-oriented bumboats cruise the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Riverside" title="Singapore/Riverside" id="mwAxo">Singapore River</a>, offering point-to-point rides starting from $3 and cruises with nice views of the CBD skyscraper skyline starting from $13.

Outside weekday peak hours, trips within the city centre should not cost you more than $10 and even a trip right across the island from Changi to Jurong will not break the $35 mark. If you are in a group of 3 or 4, it's sometimes cheaper and faster to take a taxi than the MRT. ComfortDelgro, the largest operator, has a CDG Zig <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://www.cdgtaxi.com.sg/" class="external text" id="mwAzE">booking app</a> that lets you order and pay for your taxi rides ridehail-style, including the option of a "ComfortRide" fixed price instead of running the meter, or you can call the unified booking system at <abbr title="phone" style="text-decoration:none" about="#mwt141" typeof="mw:Transclusion" id="mwAzI" data-mw='{"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"phone","href":"./Template:Phone"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"+65 6-DIAL-CAB"}},"i":0}}]}'>☏</abbr> <bdi class="tel listing-phone" about="#mwt141" id="mwAzM"><a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="tel:+656-3425-222" class="external text">+65 6-DIAL-CAB (3425-222)</a></bdi>. Hailing a taxi on the street or at a taxi stand lets you avoid the $2.30-3.30 booking fee though. Taxi pricing is largely identical across all companies at $4.40-$5.00 as a flag down rate (depending on the type of vehicle used), which lasts 1 km before increments of $0.26 per 400 m (for the first 10 km) or $0.26 per 350 m (after the first 10 km). Watch out for surprises though: on weekdays, trips before 9:30am or after 5pm incur a 25-50% tariff, and on weekdays a 25% tariff is applicable between 10am and 4pm. Extra fees ($3-8) may be added for trips starting at airports, popular attractions, and ferry terminals. Electronic Road Pricing surcharges or City Area fees may also apply at peak hours, which may add a substantial amount to your taxi fare. All such charges are shown on the bottom right-hard corner of the meter, recorded in the printed receipt and explained in tedious detail in a sticker on the window; if you suspect the cabbie is trying to pull a fast one, call the company and ask for an explanation. There is no surcharge for trips to the airport, only from. While all taxis are equipped to handle (and are required to accept) credit cards, in practice many cabbies do not accept electronic payment. Always ask before getting in. Paying by credit card will incur an additional surcharge of 10%, or $0.30 using other cards or app-based payments. As usual in Singapore, tips are not expected. In the Central Business District, taxis may pick up passengers only at taxi stands (found outside any shopping mall) or buildings with their own driveways (including virtually all hotels). Outside the centre, you're free to hail taxis on the street or call one to your doorstep. Virtually all Singapore taxis are equipped with navigation systems that will get you where you want to go. Some cabbies may ask you which route you want to take; most are satisfied with "whichever way is faster". </section><section data-mw-section-id="37" id="mwAz0"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCes"><h3 id="By_car">By car</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=37" title="Edit section: By car" id="mwCe4">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwAz4"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:PIEroadsign-Singapore-20060727.jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mwAz8"><img alt="Typical road sign along expressways in Singapore" resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:PIEroadsign-Singapore-20060727.jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2e/PIEroadsign-Singapore-20060727.jpg/220px-PIEroadsign-Singapore-20060727.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="1002" data-file-height="652" data-file-type="bitmap" height="143" width="220" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2e/PIEroadsign-Singapore-20060727.jpg/330px-PIEroadsign-Singapore-20060727.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2e/PIEroadsign-Singapore-20060727.jpg/440px-PIEroadsign-Singapore-20060727.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwA0A"/></a><figcaption id="mwA0E">Going to Kranji Expressway via the Pan Island Expressway? Turn right for "PIE (KJE)". Visiting the Nanyang Technological University or National Institute of Education? Go straight ahead.</figcaption></figure> Car rental is not a popular option for visitors to Singapore, as public transport covers virtually the entire island and it's generally cheaper to take taxis all day than to rent. You will usually be looking at upwards from $100 per day for the smallest vehicle from the major rental companies, although local ones can be cheaper and there are sometimes good weekend prices available. This does not include petrol at around $3/litre or electronic road pricing (ERP) fees, and rentals often charge extra or outright prohibit driving to <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Malaysia" title="Malaysia" id="mwA0M">Malaysia</a>. If you plan on touring Malaysia by car, it makes much more sense to head across the border to <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Johor_Bahru" title="Johor Bahru" id="mwA0Q">Johor Bahru</a>, where both rentals and petrol are half price, and you have the option of dropping your car off elsewhere in the country. This also avoids the unwelcome extra attention that Singapore number plates tend to get from thieves and greedy cops. Foreign licences in English or from other ASEAN member countries are valid in Singapore for up to a year from your date of entry, after which you will have to convert your foreign licence to a Singapore version. Other foreign licences must be accompanied by an International Driving Permit (IDP) or an official English translation (usually available from your embassy) to be valid. Singaporeans drive on the left (like their Indonesian, Malaysian & Thai neighbours) and the legal driving age is 18. Roads in Singapore are in excellent condition and driving habits are generally good compared to other countries in the region, with most people following the traffic rules due to stringent enforcement, although road courtesy tends to be sorely lacking and occasionally haphazard driving may be encountered. The speed limit is 90 km/h (56 mph) on major expressways (with the exception of the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) being 80 km/h (50 mph) ) and typically 50 km/h (31 mph) on most medium-sized roads. While signs are usually good, expressways are almost universally referred to only by acronym, so the Pan Island Expressway is "PIE", the East Coast Parkway is "ECP", etc. Parking is tolerably easy to find but very rarely free, with rates varying depending on time, day of week, and location, from around $3/hour at private CBD carparks to $1/hour at public carparks, usually payable with the CashCard. ERP payments require a stored-value CashCard, which is usually arranged by the rental agency, but it's your responsibility to ensure it has enough value. ERP gantries are activated at different times, usually in the expected direction of most cars. As a rule of thumb, gantries found in roads leading to the CBD are activated during the morning rush hour while gantries found in roads exiting the CBD are activated during the evening rush hour. Passing through an active ERP gantry with insufficient value will mean that an alert is sent to your registered address. You will need to pay an administrative fee in addition to the difference between the remaining amount and the actual charge. You have a limited time to settle this, or the penalty becomes harsher. <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwA0s"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Singapore_Police-Officer-issuing-a-ticket-01.jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mwA0w"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Singapore_Police-Officer-issuing-a-ticket-01.jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/53/Singapore_Police-Officer-issuing-a-ticket-01.jpg/220px-Singapore_Police-Officer-issuing-a-ticket-01.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="5520" data-file-height="3680" data-file-type="bitmap" height="147" width="220" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/53/Singapore_Police-Officer-issuing-a-ticket-01.jpg/330px-Singapore_Police-Officer-issuing-a-ticket-01.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/53/Singapore_Police-Officer-issuing-a-ticket-01.jpg/440px-Singapore_Police-Officer-issuing-a-ticket-01.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwA00"/></a><figcaption id="mwA04">It's a fine city, after all</figcaption></figure> Although Singapore is highly urbanised, it is still possible to encounter wild animals on the road in forested areas, particularly from dusk to dawn.

The police conduct periodic roadblocks and speed cameras are omnipresent. Fines will be sent by mail to you or your rental agency, who will then pass on the cost with a surcharge.

Commuting on bicycle is challenging in Singapore. You may cycle on the road, cycling paths, dedicated and shared with pedestrians, and pedestrians walkways, with each having its own challenges. It is illegal to cycle on a pedestrian walkway if a cycling path is available. On the roads, dedicated bicycle-only lanes are scarce and located at Tenah Merah Coastal Road and West Camp Road. You have to take the left-most lane, which is the bus lanes on most roads, most of the time. You will have to contend with vehicles stopping at the side of the roads picking up or dropping off passengers. While there is no need to be licensed to cycle on the roads, you are expected to be aware of the traffic rules and obey them anyway. In the event of accidents or conflicts with other motorists, you will likely be treated as a motorist by the authorities and judiciary. Certain roads such as expressways, tunnels, slips roads to and interchanges between expressways are out of bounds to cyclists. Bicycles may cross the causeway, on motorbike lanes, to Malaysia. Wearing helmet while riding on the road is a must, and front white, rear red lights are necessary between sunset to sunrise. There is no speed limit for cyclists on the roads. The off-road cycling network consists of off-road cycling paths as well as the Park Connector Network, which consists of enlarged five-foot ways connecting the various parks that dot the island. They are marked either with a bicycle symbol or with "PCN" (Park Connector Network). The maximum speed limit for bicycles in cycling paths is 25 km/h; however, in several sections the cycling paths merge with pedestrian paths, reducing the max. speed to 10 km/h, which is also the maximum speed for bikes in pedestrian-only paths. It's also common to have pedestrians using cycleways, so in practice it is often needed to reduce speed even at dedicated cycling paths. An up-to-date map of cycling paths and other important bicycle route information such as road crossing points can be found in <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=13PRb7OmKXskuiAm_a5bujIIDO3NK4Gn9" class="external text" id="mwA2A">this Google Map</a>. Bicycle parking lots, like cycleways, can easily be found in suburban areas, such as near MRT stations, public housing states, large shopping malls and town centres, but aren't that common in the city centre. However, bicycle is seen as a last mile connection for some commuters. Shared bicycles can be rented with bike-sharing mobile apps, such as HelloRide.SG, Anywheel, or <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://www.sgbike.com.sg/" class="external text" id="mwA2I">SG Bike</a>, at the closest designated bicycle parking area from the transport node, i.e. train station and be parked at designated bicycle parking area closest to the destination. Foldable bicycles not exceeding 120cm by 70cm by 40cm when folded can be brought onto trains and buses at any time of the day. </section><section data-mw-section-id="39" id="mwA2Q"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCfc"><h3 id="By_scooter">By scooter</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=39" title="Edit section: By scooter" id="mwCfo">edit</a>]</div> Known locally as Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs), e-scooters are legal in Singapore, but they are prohibited on roads and scooters with handlebars are also prohibited on pedestrian-only paths.

In the main business district and on main roadways, pavements and pedestrian crossings are in good shape and plentiful, and by Asian standards drivers are generally careful and willing to give way at marked crossings. Jaywalking is illegal and punished with fines of $25 and up to three months in jail, however is quite common and rarely enforced unless done in front of law enforcement. An unavoidable downside, though, is the tropical heat and humidity, which leaves many visitors sweaty and exhausted, so do as the locals do and bring along a little towel, a bottle of water and even an umbrella to protect against the searing heat. Also, afternoon thunderstorms are fairly common during the monsoon season. It's best to get an early start, pop into air-conditioned shops, cafes and museums to cool off or take shelter from rain, and plan on heading back to the shopping mall or hotel pool before noon. Alternatively, after sundown, evenings can also be comparatively cool. On the upside, the fact that the sun is often covered in clouds and shaded by trees and greenery along roads means that you won't get as easily <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Sunburn_and_sun_protection" title="Sunburn and sun protection" id="mwA2s">sunburnt</a> as otherwise at these latitudes. Nevertheless, it is advisable to wear linen or polyester-made clothing which wick away sweat faster, as cotton-made clothing is usually soaked with high amounts of sweat that were a result from the high heat and humidity. A useful tip to combat the tropical weather is to look out for air-conditioned underground pedestrian crossings. These climate-controlled walkways are plentiful and often between shopping malls and high-rise office buildings. In addition, look out for the pedestrian walkways connecting to underground MRT stations. Some stations can have up to 25 different walkways connecting to different entrances/exits in the area, creating an extensive network of walkways around the downtown core that gives one the impression of a city underneath the city.

The star in Singapore's cultural sky is the Esplanade theatre in <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Marina_Bay" title="Singapore/Marina Bay" id="mwA78">Marina Bay</a>, a world-class facility for performing arts and a frequent stage for the Singapore Symphony Orchestra. Pop culture options are rapidly growing and Singapore's home-grown arts scene is undergoing a second renaissance, with local English-language acts like The Sam Willows and Gentle Bones joining local Chinese pop starlets Stefanie Sun and JJ Lin on the scene. Any bands and DJs touring Asia are also pretty much guaranteed to perform in Singapore. Going to the movies is a popular Singaporean pastime, but look for "M18" (age 18 and above only) or "R21" ratings (age 21 and above only) if you like your movies with fewer cuts. The big four theatre chains are <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.cathay.com.sg" class="external text" id="mwA8M">Cathay</a>, <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://carnivalcinemas.sg/" class="external text" id="mwA8U">Carnival Cinemas</a>, <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.gv.com.sg/" class="external text" id="mwA8c">Golden Village</a> and <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://shaw.sg/" class="external text" id="mwA8k">Shaw Brothers</a>.

For traditional Chinese music, there is the <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.sco.com.sg/" class="external text" id="mwA9E">Singapore Chinese Orchestra</a>.

Marina Bay Sands at <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Marina_Bay" title="Singapore/Marina Bay" id="mwA-0">Marina Bay</a> is the larger and swankier of the two, while Resorts World Sentosa at <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Sentosa" title="Singapore/Sentosa" class="mw-redirect" id="mwA-8">Sentosa</a> aims for a more family-friendly experience. While locals (citizens and permanent residents) have to pay $100/day to get in, foreign visitors can enter for free after presenting their passport. Besides the casino, there are other forms of legalised betting which are more accessible to the locals. This includes <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Horse_racing" title="Horse racing" id="mwA_E">horse racing</a>, which is run by the <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.turfclub.com.sg" class="external text" id="mwA_M">Singapore Turf Club</a> on weekends, as well as football (soccer) betting and several lotteries run by the <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.singaporepools.com.sg" class="external text" id="mwA_U">Singapore Pools</a>. Horse racing will be terminated on 5 October 2024 with the racecourse is to be demolished and redeveloped. Mahjong is also a popular pastime in Singapore. The version played in Singapore is similar to the Cantonese version, but it also has extra "animal tiles" not present in the original Cantonese version, as well as several scoring differences. However, this remains pretty much a family and friends affair, and there are no (legal) mahjong parlours as the operation of gambling dens is illegal. Gambling in public (e.g. playing poker or blackjack at a park) is illegal and punishable with fine and imprisonment under Singaporean law. </section><section data-mw-section-id="46" id="mwA_k"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCiE"><h3 id="Golf">Golf</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=46" title="Edit section: Golf" id="mwCiQ">edit</a>]</div> Despite its small size, Singapore has a surprisingly large number of golf courses, but most of the best ones are run by private clubs and open to members and their guests only.

Shop around for prices, some of the better looking ones actually charge less. </section><section data-mw-section-id="49" id="mwBBw"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCjM"><h3 id="Swimming">Swimming</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=49" title="Edit section: Swimming" id="mwCjY">edit</a>]</div> Forget your tiny hotel pool if you are into competitive or recreational swimming: Singapore is paradise for swimmers with arguably the highest density of public pools in the world. They are all open-air 50 m pools (some facilities even feature up to three 50 m pools), accessible for an entrance fee of $1–1.50. Some of the visitors don't swim at all. They just come from nearby housing complexes for a few hours to chill out, read and relax in the sun. Most are open daily 8AM-9PM and all feature a small cafe. Just imagine swimming your lanes in the tropical night with lit up palm trees surrounding the pool. The Singapore Sports Council maintains <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.myactivesg.com/facilities/swimming-pools" class="external text" id="mwBCE">a list of pools</a>, most of which are part of a larger sports complex with a gym, running track, tennis courts etc., and are near the MRT station they're named after. Perhaps the best is in Katong (111 Wilkinson Road, on the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/East_Coast" title="Singapore/East Coast" id="mwBCI">East Coast</a>): after the swim, stroll through the villa neighbourhood directly in front of the pool entrance and have a look at the luxurious, original architecture of the houses that really rich Singaporeans live in. If you get bored with regular swimming pools, head to the Jurong East Swimming Complex where you get the wave pool, water slides and Jacuzzi at an insanely affordable entrance fee of $1.50 on weekdays and $2 on weekends. For those who feel richer, visit the <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.wildwildwet.com" class="external text" id="mwBCU">Wild Wild Wet</a> water theme park or the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Sentosa#Resorts_World_Sentosa" title="Singapore/Sentosa" class="mw-redirect" id="mwBCc">Adventure Cove Waterpark</a> and get yourself wet with various exciting water slides and tidal wave pools.

The <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/East_Coast" title="Singapore/East Coast" id="mwBCo">East Coast Park</a> has a scenic coastline that stretches over 15 km.

It is divided into 100 cents, denoted ¢. There are coins of 5¢ (bronze or gold), 10¢ (silver), 20¢ (silver), 50¢ (silver) and $1 (2nd series: gold; 3rd series: silver with gold rim). Notes are in denominations of $2 (purple), $5 (green), $10 (red), $50 (blue), $100 (orange), $1,000 (purple) and $10,000 (gold). The lower three denominations are issued entirely in polymer, the rest of the denominations are issued in paper. The latter two denominations are no longer issued, very rarely seen and useless outside of luxury boutiques, the casino, and department stores — travellers would be wise to avoid them. Unless it includes other initials (e.g., US$ to stand for U.S. dollars), the "$" sign used in the island-nation (and in this guide) refers to Singapore dollars. The <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Brunei" title="Brunei" id="mwBEI">Brunei</a> dollar is pegged at par with the Singapore dollar and is legally "customary tender" that can be used interchangeably. In practice, it's very rare to see Brunei notes in Singapore, and if you try to use one, many smaller merchants, being unaware of the peg, will reject it initially. To avoid additional hassle, show the <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://www.mas.gov.sg/currency/brunei-singapore-currency-interchangeability-agreement" class="external text" id="mwBEM">official website about the peg</a> to the merchant, or consider changing your Brunei dollars to Singapore dollars before use. All banks are legally required to exchange Brunei notes for free. Currency exchange booths can be found in every shopping mall and usually offer better rates, better opening hours, and much faster service than banks. Mustafa in <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Little_India" title="Singapore/Little India" id="mwBEY">Little India</a> accepts almost any major currency at very good rates and many obscure currencies as well, as do the fiercely competitive small shops at or surrounding the aptly named Change Alley (next to Raffles Place MRT), Lucky Plaza (along the Orchard Road shopping belt), People's Park Complex (at the heart of Chinatown) or Parkway Parade (in Marine Parade on the East Coast). For large amounts, ask for a quote, as it will often get you a better rate than displayed on the board. Rates at the airport and international ferry terminals are not as favourable as in the city so exchange only enough to pay for transport from the airport or ferry terminal (alternatively many forms of transport from the airport and ferry terminals are payable by VISA or Mastercard so you can put exchanging money until later in the trip, see Get in and Get around sections). While many department stores accept major foreign currencies, their rates are usually terrible. Major hotels also offer currency exchange services, but at terrible rates. </section><section data-mw-section-id="54" id="mwBEk"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwClE"><h3 id="Goods_and_Services_Tax_(GST)">Goods and Services Tax (GST)</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=54" title="Edit section: Goods and Services Tax (GST)" id="mwClQ">edit</a>]</div> Most retailers and service providers in Singapore are required to levy a 9% GST. Sellers are generally required to publish the GST-inclusive prices (i.e. you don't need to do further maths) except for hotel and restaurant (eat-in) prices whereby GST (and service charge) are added right before payment (see Tipping and Sleep sections). </section><section data-mw-section-id="55" id="mwBE0"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwClc"><h3 id="Payments">Payments</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=55" title="Edit section: Payments" id="mwClo">edit</a>]</div> Singapore has adopted cashless payments in a big way and it's entirely possible to never even see paper money for days on end. Even hawker centres and food courts have started to accept mobile app payments. Credit cards are widely accepted in stores, restaurants, hotels, etc. Chip-and-signature is standard (you are unlikely to be asked for a PIN unless configured as such by your card issuer) and contactless terminals (including those for Apple Pay and Google Pay) are common, just ask for "contactless". The most widely accepted credit cards in Singapore are Visa and MasterCard, and many shops also accept American Express. Discover, JCB and China UnionPay cards are also accepted in some shops that primarily cater to tourists. You can also pay bus and MRT fares with contactless VISA and Mastercards (including cards powered by Apple Pay and Google Pay). Although credit card surcharges are not usually allowed in Singapore (with one notable official exception made for taxi companies), many small merchants often disregard this rule and might either impose a minimum transaction amount for cards or offer discounts over the listed price if you pay in cash. Singapore is one of the largest financial centres in the region, so there are numerous banks to choose from. The main local banks are <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.dbs.com" class="external text" id="mwBFI">DBS</a>, <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.uob.com.sg" class="external text" id="mwBFM">UOB</a> and <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.ocbc.com" class="external text" id="mwBFQ">OCBC</a>, whose ATMs can be found in every shopping mall or MRT station, and all of which let you withdraw money via the Plus/Cirrus networks. Partly due to strong banking secrecy laws and the fact that interest paid on bank deposits is not taxable in Singapore, Singaporean banks are increasingly seen as an alternative to <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Switzerland" title="Switzerland" id="mwBFY">Swiss</a> banks for the world's richest people to stash their assets. However, for foreigners, opening a bank account in Singapore is not possible unless you have a long-term residence pass (work, student, etc.). There is a plethora of mobile payments applications. GrabPay is the easiest for tourists to sign up, with only a phone number and no personal details needed, you can top up via Visa or MasterCard. Regional players FavePay and Chinese players (Alipay, WeChat Pay) are also common. EZ-Link transport cards and NETS Prepaid cards are accepted for payment in some convenience stores and fast food chains. Travellers cheques are generally not accepted by retailers, but can be cashed at certain limited number of exchange booths or banks. </section><section data-mw-section-id="56" id="mwBFw"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCl0"><h3 id="Tipping">Tipping</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=56" title="Edit section: Tipping" id="mwCmA">edit</a>]</div> Tipping is generally not practised in Singapore. However, it is common for hotels and restaurants to levy a 10% service charge before GST, the local Goods and Services Tax. Restaurants and hotel room rates often display prices like $19.99++, which means that service charge (10%) and sales tax (8%) are not included and will be added to your bill. "Nett" prices already include all taxes and service charges. Bellhops and hotel porters still expect $2 or so per bag. Tipping is not expected in taxis, who usually return your change to the last 10 cents, or round the fare down by that amount in your favour, if they can't be bothered to dig for change; congestion or Electronic Road Pricing charges are often already included in the final fare. All taxis must advertise a hotline to call if the customer feels dissatisfied. Tipping is prohibited at the airport. Do not under any circumstances offer a tip to any government employee, especially police officers, as this is regarded as bribery, and would most likely get you arrested and pressed with criminal charges relating to corruption. </section><section data-mw-section-id="57" id="mwBGI"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCmM"><h3 id="Costs">Costs</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=57" title="Edit section: Costs" id="mwCmY">edit</a>]</div> Singapore is expensive by Southeast Asian standards, but cheap compared to Western countries: $50 is a perfectly serviceable daily backpacker budget if you are willing to cut some corners, though you would probably wish to double that for comfort. Food in particular is a steal, with excellent hawker food available for under $5 per meal for a generous serving. Accommodation is a little pricier, but a bed in a hostel can cost less than $30 and a cheap hotel room can go for under $150, while branded business hotels would be in the $200-500 range. At the top end of the market you're probably looking at over $500 a night, with places like Raffles and Capella often pushing $1000. As rough rules of thumb, prices in Singapore are about twice as high as in Malaysia and Thailand and 3-5 times as high as in Indonesia and the Philippines. </section><section data-mw-section-id="58" id="mwBGU"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCmk"><h3 id="Shopping">Shopping</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=58" title="Edit section: Shopping" id="mwCmw">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r4916054" about="#mwt154" typeof="mw:Extension/templatestyles mw:Transclusion" id="mwBGY" data-mw='{"name":"templatestyles","attrs":{"src":"Template:Infobox/styles.css"},"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"infobox","href":"./Template:Infobox"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Cheated?"},"2":{"wt":"Ripped off by a shop?

While you won't find any bazaars with dirt-cheap local handicrafts (in fact, virtually everything sold in Singapore is made elsewhere), goods are generally of reasonably good quality and shopkeepers are generally quite honest due to strong consumer protection laws. Most stores are open daily 10AM-10PM, although smaller operations (particularly those outside shopping malls) close earlier — 7PM is common — and perhaps on Sundays as well.

Many second-hand book stores are in Far East Plaza and Bras Basah Complex, where you may attempt to bargain if you are buying a lot.

However, there are no great bargains to be had, and many camera stores in Singapore (particularly those in Lucky Plaza and Sim Lim Square) have a reputation for fleecing even the most careful tourists. The best way is to know exactly what you are looking for and then when you arrive, drop by the shops at the airport's transit area and take a look at the price and check with them whether they have any promotions. Then go to the downtown shops and compare prices/packages to see which shop will give you value for money. To be safe, always check prices and packages for everything you're interested in at large retailers like Courts, Harvey Norman and Best Denki first. Be very careful when shop staff attempt to promote brands or models other than the one you have in mind; a few stores at Sim Lim Square, Lucky Plaza, and elsewhere are known to use this tactic and sell products at two to four times their actual list prices. Also watch for the bait-and-switches. Inspect the model number and condition of the item, then do not let it out of your sight when you pay.

Lesser mortals (namely, those who have failed to do their price-checking homework) stand a risk of getting ripped off when purchasing, but this is generally not a problem with the price lists offered by most shops. Some Singaporeans purchase their electronic gadgets during the quarterly "IT shows" usually held at Suntec City Convention Centre or at the Expo, at which prices on gadgets are sometimes slashed (but often only to Sim Lim levels).

Please do your research before buying electronics from any store in Singapore; online research and multi-shop price comparison (and bargaining, occasionally) are essential.

During the four times in a year IT Shows, PC, Xbox, Wii, PlayStation games prices may drop at such IT shows, if not the games will be bundled with others (example: buy 2 at $49.90).

You will find quality Chinese, Malay, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Italian, French, British, American and other food in this city-state. Eating habits run the gamut, but most foods are eaten by fork and spoon: push and cut with the fork in the left hand, and eat with the spoon in the right. Noodles and Chinese dishes typically come with chopsticks, while Malay and Indian food can be eaten by hand, but nobody will blink an eye if you ask for a fork and spoon instead. If eating by hand, only use your right hand to handle your food, as Malays and Indians traditionally use their left hand to handle dirty things. Take note of the usual <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Chinese_cuisine#Etiquette" title="Chinese cuisine" id="mwBQ0">traditional Chinese etiquette</a> when using chopsticks, and most importantly, do not stick your chopsticks vertically into a bowl of rice. If eating in a group, serving dishes are always shared, but you'll get your own bowl of rice and soup. It's common to use your own chopsticks to pick up food from communal plates, but serving spoons can be provided on request. When eating at Western restaurants, traditional <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Europe" title="Europe" id="mwBQ8">European</a> dining etiquette generally applies.

The seafood restaurants of the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/East_Coast" title="Singapore/East Coast" id="mwBTo">East Coast</a> are famous for this. For a less messy but equally tasty alternative, ask for black pepper crab.</li> <li id="mwBTw">Kaya is a jam-like spread made from egg and coconut, an odd-sounding but tasty combination. Served on toast for breakfast, canonically accompanied by runny eggs and strong, sweet coffee (kopi). Exists in two distinctive styles; the greenish Nonya version, coloured with pandan leaf, and the brownish Hainanese version.</li> <li id="mwBT8">Laksa, in particular the Katong laksa or laksa lemak style, is probably the best-known Singaporean dish: slippery rice noodles in a creamy, immensely rich coconut-based curry broth, topped with cockles or shrimp. The common style found in hawker centres is very spicy, although you can ask for less/no chilli to dial down the heat. The Katong style is much less spicy and is generally found only in Katong itself (see the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/East_Coast" title="Singapore/East Coast" id="mwBUQ">East Coast</a> page). Despite sharing the same name, the dish bears almost no resemblance to the varieties found in neighbouring Malaysia.</li> <li id="mwBUU">Mee siam is rice flour noodles served in a sweet-sour soup (made from tamarind, dried shrimp and fermented beans), bean curd cubes, and hard boiled eggs. Though the Chinese, Malays and Indians all have their own versions, it is the Peranakan version that is most popular with Singaporeans. You will largely find this at Malay stalls.</li> <li id="mwBUc">Rojak means a mixture of everything in Malay, and there are two very different types. Chinese rojak is a salad of pineapple, white turnip, cucumber, tau pok (fried bean curd) with thin tiny slices of bunga kantan (torch ginger flower buds), tossed in shrimp paste sauce and sugar, then sprinkled with crushed peanuts. Indian rojak consists of mainly fried fritters made from flour and various pulses with cucumber and tofu, dipped into sweet & spicy sauces.</li> <li id="mwBU0">Ice cream is just as it is in Western countries. However, in Singapore, there are various local flavours such as durian and red bean which are not available outside the region and are certainly worth a try. To impress the locals, try asking for ice cream in roti (bread).</li></ul> Besides these dishes, the Peranakans are also known for their kueh or snacks, which are somewhat different from the Malay versions due to stronger Chinese influences. </section><section data-mw-section-id="63" id="mwBVI"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading4" id="mwCoc"><h4 id="Malay_cuisine">Malay cuisine</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=63" title="Edit section: Malay cuisine" id="mwCoo">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwBVM"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Nasi_lemak_on_banana_leaf.jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mwBVQ"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Nasi_lemak_on_banana_leaf.jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/Nasi_lemak_on_banana_leaf.jpg/220px-Nasi_lemak_on_banana_leaf.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="3705" data-file-height="2778" data-file-type="bitmap" height="165" width="220" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/Nasi_lemak_on_banana_leaf.jpg/330px-Nasi_lemak_on_banana_leaf.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/Nasi_lemak_on_banana_leaf.jpg/440px-Nasi_lemak_on_banana_leaf.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwBVU"/></a><figcaption id="mwBVY">Nasi lemak with otah (spiced fish paste), fried chicken wing, cucumber and fiery sambal chilli sauce</figcaption></figure> The Malays were Singapore's original inhabitants and despite now being outnumbered by the Chinese, their distinctive cuisine is popular to this day. Characterised by heavy use of spices, most Malay dishes are curries, stews or dips of one kind or another and nasi padang restaurants, offering a wide variety of these to ladle onto your rice, are very popular. <ul id="mwBVw"><li id="mwBV0">Mee rebus is a dish of egg noodles with spicy, slightly sweet gravy, a slice of hard boiled egg and lime.</li> <li id="mwBV8">Mee soto is Malay-style chicken soup, with a clear broth, shredded chicken breast and egg noodles.</li> <li id="mwBWE">Nasi lemak is the definitive Malay breakfast, consisting at its simplest of rice cooked in light coconut milk, some ikan bilis (anchovies), peanuts, a slice of cucumber and a dab of chilli on the side. A larger ikan kuning (fried fish) or chicken wing are common accompaniments. More often than not, also combined with a variety of curries and/or sambal</li> <li id="mwBWY">Otah/Otak is a type of fish cake made of minced fish (usually mackerel), coconut milk, chilli and various other spices, and grilled in a banana or coconut leaf, usually served to accompany other dishes like nasi lemak.</li> <li id="mwBWg">Rendang, originally from <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Padang" title="Padang" id="mwBWo">Padang</a> in Indonesia, but considered a traditional Malay dish in Singapore, and occasionally dubbed "dry curry", is meat stewed for hours on end in a spicy (but rarely fiery) coconut-based curry paste until almost all water is absorbed. Beef rendang is the most common, although chicken and mutton are spotted sometimes.</li> <li id="mwBWw">Sambal, originally from Javanese cuisine, is the generic term for chilli sauces of many kinds. Sambal belacan is a common condiment made by mixing chilli with the shrimp paste belacan, while the popular dish sambal sotong consists of squid (sotong) cooked in red chilli sauce.</li> <li id="mwBXI">Sambal stingray is prepared by barbecuing stingray with a fiery sambal spice paste spread on top. Stingray flesh is surprisingly meaty, closer to chicken than fish, and often a hit even with visitors who are not huge seafood fans.</li> <li id="mwBXU">Satay, originally from Javanese cuisine, are barbecued skewers of meat, typically chicken, mutton or beef. What separates satay from your ordinary kebab are the spices used to season the meat and the slightly spicy peanut-based dipping sauce. The Satay Club at <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Riverside" title="Singapore/Riverside" id="mwBXg">Lau Pa Sat</a> near Raffles Place is one popular location for this delicacy. There is also a local Hainanese version of the dish, which unlike the Malay original often uses non-halal meats such as pork, and adds a pineapple puree to the dipping sauce.</li></ul> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwBXk"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Karipap_Chiang_Mai.jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mwBXo"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Karipap_Chiang_Mai.jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b5/Karipap_Chiang_Mai.jpg/220px-Karipap_Chiang_Mai.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="4928" data-file-height="3264" data-file-type="bitmap" height="146" width="220" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b5/Karipap_Chiang_Mai.jpg/330px-Karipap_Chiang_Mai.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b5/Karipap_Chiang_Mai.jpg/440px-Karipap_Chiang_Mai.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwBXs"/></a><figcaption id="mwBXw">Curry puffs, pastries stuffed with chicken curry</figcaption></figure> <ul id="mwBX0"><li id="mwBX4">Curry puffs are the Singapore take on samosas, pastries usually stuffed with mild chicken curry and potatoes, although there are countless variants.

Both smell and taste defy description, but eating garlic ice cream next to an open sewer comes to mind. If you are game enough you should try it, but be warned beforehand — you will either love it or hate it. The rich creamy yellow flesh is often sold in places like Geylang and Bugis and elsewhere conveniently in pre-packaged packs from around $10. This 'king of fruits' is also made into ice cream, cakes, sweets, puddings and other decadent desserts. You're not allowed to carry durians on the MRT and buses and they're banned from many hotels, so some stalls have seating so you can devour it then and there.</li> <li id="mwBY0">Ice kachang literally means "ice bean" in Malay, a good clue to the two major ingredients: shaved ice and sweet red beans. However, more often than not you'll also get gula melaka (palm sugar), grass jelly, sweet corn, attap palm seeds and anything else on hand thrown in, and the whole thing is then drizzled with canned evaporated milk or coconut cream and coloured syrups. The end result tastes very interesting — and refreshing.</li> <li id="mwBZE">Kuih (or kueh) refer to a plethora of steamed or baked "cakes", mostly made with coconut milk, grated coconut flesh, glutinous rice or tapioca. They are often very colourful and cut into fanciful shapes, but despite their wildly varying appearance tend to taste rather similar.

While "authentic" fare is certainly available, especially in fancier restaurants, the daily fare served in hawker centres has absorbed a number of tropical touches, most notably the fairly heavy use of chilli and the Malay fermented shrimp paste belacan as condiments. Noodles can also be served not just in soup (湯 tang), but also "dry" (干 gan), meaning that your noodles will be served tossed with chilli and spices in one bowl, and the soup will come in a separate bowl. <ul id="mwBb4"><li id="mwBb8">Bak chor mee (肉脞面) is essentially noodles with minced pork, tossed in a chilli-based sauce with lard, ikan bilis (fried anchovies), vegetables and mushrooms. Black vinegar may also be added.</li> <li id="mwBcI">Bak kut teh (肉骨茶), lit. "pork bone tea", is a simple-sounding soup of pork ribs simmered for hours in broth until they're ready to fall off the bone. Singaporeans prefer the light and peppery Teochew style ("white"), but a few shops offer the original dark and aromatic Fujian kind ("black"). Bak kut teh is typically eaten with white rice, mui choy (pickled vegetables) and a pot of strong Chinese tea, hence the name — the broth itself doesn't contain any tea. To impress the locals, order some you tiao fritters from a nearby stall and cut them up into bite-sized chunks to dip into your soup.</li> <li id="mwBcg">Char kway teow (炒粿条) is the quintessential Singapore-style fried noodle dish, consisting of several types of noodles in thick brown sauce with strips of fishcake, Chinese sausage, a token veggie or two and either cockles and shrimp. It's cheap ($2–3/serve), filling and has nothing to do with the dish known as "Singapore fried noodles" elsewhere. (And which actually doesn't exist in Singapore.) It is fried with a type of caramelised soy sauce, thus making it somewhat sweeter than the Penang version.</li> <li id="mwBco">Chee cheong fun (豬腸粉) is a favourite breakfast consisting of lasagna-type rice noodles rolled up and various types of fried meats including fishballs and fried tofu. The dish is usually topped with a generous amount of sauce.</li> <li id="mwBcw">Chwee kway (水粿) is a breakfast dish consisting of rice cakes topped with chai po (salted fermented turnips), usually served with some chilli sauce.</li> <li id="mwBc8">Economy rice (菜饭) is white rice with a variety of Chinese-style meat and vegetable dishes to choose from at affordable prices, hence the name. The classic working class Chinese meal in Singapore.</li> <li id="mwBdE">Fishball noodles (魚丸面) come in many forms, but the noodle variety most often seen is mee pok, which are flat egg noodles. The noodles are tossed in chilli sauce and accompanied by a side bowl of fishballs in soup.</li> <li id="mwBdQ">Hainanese chicken rice (海南鸡饭) is steamed ("white") or roasted ("red") chicken flavoured with soy sauce and sesame oil served on a bed of fragrant rice that has been cooked in chicken broth and flavoured with ginger and garlic. Accompanied by chilli sauce made from crushed fresh chillis, ginger, garlic and thick dark soy sauce as well as some cucumber and a small bowl of chicken broth. Despite its name, only the method of preparing the chicken originated in Hainan, while the method of cooking the rice was actually invented by the Hainanese immigrants in what is today Singapore and Malaysia.</li> <li id="mwBdY">Hokkien mee (福建面) is a style of soupy fried noodles in light, fragrant stock with prawns and other seafood. Oddly, it bears little resemblance to the Kuala Lumpur dish of the same name, which uses thick noodles in dark soy, or the Penang version, which is served in very spicy prawn soup.</li> <li id="mwBdg">Kway chap (粿汁) is essentially sheets made of rice flour served in a brown stock, accompanied by a plate of braised pork and pig organs (tongue, ear and intestines).</li> <li id="mwBdo">Mala xiangguo (麻辣香锅), originally from <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Sichuan" title="Sichuan" id="mwBdw">Sichuan</a> but hugely popular in Singapore, is a stir-fry of your choice of ingredients with a powerfully spicy and numbing sauce made from chillies and <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Sichuan" title="Sichuan" id="mwBd0">Sichuan</a> peppercorns. Start with "little spicy" (小辣 xiao la) and work your way up if you dare!</li> <li id="mwBd8">Mooncakes (月饼) are traditionally eaten for the Mid-Autumn festival, with the Cantonese style, made with a lotus seed paste filling and salted egg yolk being the clear favourite among Singaporeans. Some traditional bakeries and restaurants may also sell the traditional styles of the other Chinese dialect groups, and the modern Hong Kong-style snow skin mooncakes are also popular in Singapore, though though one with a uniquely Southeast Asian filling is the snow skin durian mooncake.</li> <li id="mwBeE">Popiah (薄饼), or spring rolls, come fresh or fried. They consist of a filling of boiled turnip, fried tofu, pork, shrimp with a slew of condiments, wrapped in a thin crepe smeared with sweet dark soy sauce and eaten like a fajita. They are related to the lumpia and runbing of other Chinese communities in Asia.</li> <li id="mwBeU">Prawn noodles (虾面, hae mee in Hokkien) is a dark-brown prawn broth served with egg noodles and a giant tiger prawn or two on top. Some stalls serve it with boiled pork ribs as well. The best versions are highly addictive and will leave you slurping up the last MSG-laden (probably from the shrimp heads) drops.</li> <li id="mwBeg">Rice dumplings (粽子) are traditionally eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival; by far the two most popular versions in Singapore are the Hokkien-style bak chang (肉粽) and the Peranakan-style nyonya chang (娘惹粽), the latter of which consists of pork marinated in a slightly sweet seasoning and is wrapped in fragrant pandan leaves instead of the more traditional Chinese coconut leaves. Some restaurants and bakeries also sell the traditional styles of the other Chinese dialect groups, and there is also a sweet type of rice dumpling eaten as a dessert known as kee chang (碱粽), which is made using alkaline water and dipped in sugar.</li> <li id="mwBe0">Satay bee hoon is rice vermicelli (bee hoon) served with the same peanut and chilli sauce used for satay, hence the name. Usually cockles, dried squid and pork slices are added.</li> <li id="mwBfE">Steamboat (火锅), also known as hot pot, is do-it-yourself soup Chinese style. You get a pot of broth bubbling on a tabletop burner, pick meat, fish and veggies to your liking from a menu or buffet table, then cook it to your liking. When finished, add in noodles or ask for rice to fill you up. This usually requires a minimum of two people, and the more the merrier.</li> <li id="mwBfQ">Tau huay (豆花), also known as beancurd, is probably the most common traditional Chinese dessert, a bowl of tofu curds in syrup, served either hot or cold. An innovation that has swept the island is a delicious custard-like version ("soft tau huay") which includes no syrup and is extremely soft despite being solid.</li> <li id="mwBfc">Wonton mee (云吞面) is thin noodles topped with wantan dumplings of seasoned minced pork. Unlike the soupy Hong Kong version, it is usually served 'dry' in soy sauce and chilli.</li> <li id="mwBfo">Yong tau foo (酿豆腐) literally means "stuffed tofu", but it's more exciting than it sounds. The diner selects their favourites from a vast assortment of tofu, fish paste, assorted seafood and vegetables, and they are then sliced into bite-size pieces, cooked briefly in boiling water and then served either in broth as soup or "dry" with the broth in a separate bowl. The dish can be eaten by itself or with any choice of noodles. Essential accompaniments are spicy chili sauce and sweet sauce for dipping.</li></ul> </section><section data-mw-section-id="65" id="mwBfw"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading4" id="mwCpM"><h4 id="Indian_cuisine">Indian cuisine</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=65" title="Edit section: Indian cuisine" id="mwCpY">edit</a>]</div> The smallest of Singapore's big three ethnic groups, Indians have had proportionally the smallest impact on the local culinary scene, but there is no shortage of Indian food even at many hawker centres and most neighborhoods have at least of couple of mamak (Indian Muslim) shops, often open 24 hours. Delicious and authentic Indian food can be had at Little India, including south Indian typical meals such as dosa (thosai) crepes, idli lentil-rice cakes and sambar soup, as well as north Indian meals including various curries, naan bread, chapati, tandoori chicken and more. In addition, however, a number of Indian dishes have been "Singaporeanised" and adopted by the entire population, including: <ul id="mwBgU"><li id="mwBgY">Fish head curry is, true to the name, a gigantic curried fish head cooked whole until it's ready to fall apart. Singapore's <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Little_India#Eat" title="Singapore/Little India" id="mwBgg">Little India</a> is the place to sample this. There are two styles: the fiery Indian and the milder Chinese kind.</li> <li id="mwBgk">Nasi briyani is rice cooked in turmeric, which gives the rice an orange colour. Unlike the fiery Hyderabadi original, it's usually rather mild, although specialist shops do turn out more flavourful versions.

Prices are low ($3–5 for most dishes), hygiene standards are high (every stall is required to prominently display a hygiene certificate grading it from A to D) and the food can be excellent. Ambience tends to be a little lacking though and there is no air-conditioning either, but a visit to a hawker centre is a must when in Singapore, if you wish to experience authentic local food culture in the heartlands themselves. However, be leery of overzealous pushers-cum-salesmen, especially at the Satay Club in Lau Pa Sat and Newton Food Centre at Newton Circus: the tastiest stalls don't need high-pressure tactics to find customers. Touting for business is illegal, and occasionally a reminder of this can result in people backing off a bit. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r4916054" about="#mwt180" typeof="mw:Extension/templatestyles mw:Transclusion" id="mwBjE" data-mw='{"name":"templatestyles","attrs":{"src":"Template:Infobox/styles.css"},"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"infobox","href":"./Template:Infobox"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Cash only"},"2":{"wt":"Hawkers and coffeeshops are among the few places you may visit where '''credit cards are not accepted'''.

Ask before you order, and be prepared to pay cash or do without.</td></tr> </tbody></table> Hawker centres are built for volume and ordering from a popular hawker speaking in rapid-fire Singlish can be confusing. First stake out your territory by choping (reserve) a space by parking a friend at the table, or do what the locals do: place a packet of tissue paper on the table. If ordering from a stall not marked "self-service", note down the table number so they can deliver. The best places always have queues, so line up, and once asked place your order by stating the dish and portion size you want: "Fishball noodles, four dollars." Expect to get some or all of the following questions: <ul id="mwBjU"><li id="mwBjY">"Have here or take away?" Reply "have here" to eat in, or any of "take away", "packet" or ta pao (打包) to take away.</li> <li id="mwBjk">"Container?" If doing takeaway, some stalls will offer a choice between a free plastic bag (impractical unless you have a bowl/plate to eat out of) or a styrofoam box (around 20 cents extra). Disposable utensils are always included.</li> <li id="mwBjs">"Soup or dry?" Many noodle dishes are available either "dry" (干 kan), with broth on the side, or "soup" (汤 tang), mixed with broth.</li> <li id="mwBj8">"What noodle?" Any self-respecting noodle stall has at least four types on offer, ranging from yellow mee (thick wheat noodles) to bee hoon (thin rice vermicelli). Point and choose from the glass cabinet.</li> <li id="mwBkM">"Chilli?" If you say yes, the often fiery sambal paste will be mixed in, so it may be safer to opt out and add your chillies by yourself from the sauce on the counter.</li></ul> Once you are finished, drop your tray off in the tray return rack; this being Singapore, you may be fined up to $300 if you don't. Every district in Singapore has its own hawker centres and prices decrease as you move out into the boonies. For tourists, centrally located Newton Circus near (<a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Balestier" title="Singapore/Balestier" id="mwBkk">Newton MRT</a> Exit B), Gluttons Bay (near Esplanade MRT Exit D) and Lau Pa Sat (near Raffles Place MRT Exit I, the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Riverside" title="Singapore/Riverside" id="mwBkw">River</a>), are the most popular options — but this does not make them the cheapest or the tastiest, and the demanding gourmand would do well to head to <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Chinatown" title="Singapore/Chinatown" id="mwBk4">Chinatown</a> or the heartlands instead. A dizzying array of food stalls with a large South Indian representation can be found in the bustling Tekka Centre at the edge of <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Little_India" title="Singapore/Little India" id="mwBlA">Little India</a>. Many of the best food stalls are in residential districts off the tourist trail and do not advertise in the media, so the best way to find them is to ask locals for their recommendations. Good examples closer to the city centre include <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/East_Coast#Eat" title="Singapore/East Coast" id="mwBlI">Old Airport Road Food Centre</a> (near Dakota MRT Exit B) and Tiong Bahru Market (near Tiong Bahru MRT), both of which are sprawling and home to a number of much-loved stalls. </section><section data-mw-section-id="67" id="mwBlQ"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCp8"><h3 id="Coffeeshops_and_bubble_tea">Coffeeshops and bubble tea</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=67" title="Edit section: Coffeeshops and bubble tea" id="mwCqI">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r4916054" about="#mwt183" typeof="mw:Extension/templatestyles mw:Transclusion" id="mwBlU" data-mw="{"name":"templatestyles","attrs":{"src":"Template:Infobox/styles.css"},"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"infobox","href":"./Template:Infobox"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Coffee, see and tea, oh!"},"2":{"wt":"Coffee and tea in hawker centres and ''kopitiam'' goes for around a dollar a cup, a steep discount on Starbucks prices, but you'll need to learn the lingo to get what you want.

The Singaporean equivalent of pubs, this is where folks come for the canonical Singaporean breakfast of kopi (strong, sugary coffee), some kaya (egg-coconut jam) toast and runny eggs, and this is also where they come to down a beer or two and chat away in the evenings. English proficiency can sometimes be limited, but most stall owners know enough to communicate the basics, and even if they don't, nearby locals will usually help you out if you ask. Many coffee shops offer zi char/cze cha (煮炒) for dinner, meaning a menu of local dishes, mostly Chinese-style seafood, served at your table at mid-range prices. The usual Starbucks and other local cafe chains such as Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf can be found in any shopping mall but an iced coffee or tea can set you back $5 or more, whereas a teh tarik ("pulled" milky tea) or kopi coffee runs closer to $1 at any hawker centre or coffeeshop. While exploring, you're also likely to come across a good number of independent cafes offering gourmet coffee, pastries and cakes, which have mushroomed across the city centre over the last decade. Last but not least, the Taiwanese invention of bubble tea (aka boba tea, pearl tea) has taken Singapore by storm and every self-respecting shopping mall has numerous outlets hawking variants of sugary, milky tea with chewy tapioca pearls, jazzed up with increasingly inventive ingredients ranging from cream cheese foam to smoky, intense black sugar syrup. <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://royaltgroup.com/our-brands/liho.html" class="external text" id="mwBmE">Liho</a> and <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://www.koithe.com/en" class="external text" id="mwBmI">Koi</a> are the largest chains. </section><section data-mw-section-id="68" id="mwBmM"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCqU"><h3 id="Food_courts">Food courts</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=68" title="Edit section: Food courts" id="mwCqg">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwBmQ"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Vivo_City_Food_Republic.jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mwBmU"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Vivo_City_Food_Republic.jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/af/Vivo_City_Food_Republic.jpg/220px-Vivo_City_Food_Republic.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="2222" data-file-height="1638" data-file-type="bitmap" height="162" width="220" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/af/Vivo_City_Food_Republic.jpg/330px-Vivo_City_Food_Republic.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/af/Vivo_City_Food_Republic.jpg/440px-Vivo_City_Food_Republic.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwBmY"/></a><figcaption id="mwBmc">Food Republic retro theme food court</figcaption></figure> Found in the basement or top floor of nearly every shopping mall, food courts are the air-conditioned version of hawker centres.

Locals will also grumble that the dish also tastes worse, because food court stalls are mostly franchised operations instead of mom & pop shops pouring their heart and soul into the food. </section><section data-mw-section-id="69" id="mwBmo"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCqs"><h3 id="Fast_food">Fast food</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=69" title="Edit section: Fast food" id="mwCq4">edit</a>]</div> International fast food chains like McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, MOS Burger, Subway etc. are commonly found in various shopping malls.

A name like Yan Kee thus means "run by the Yan family", and should not be taken as a political statement.</td></tr> </tbody></table> Singapore offers a wide variety of full-service restaurants as well, catering to every taste and budget. As the majority of Singapore's population is ethnic Chinese, there is an abundance of Chinese restaurants in Singapore, mainly serving southern Chinese (mostly Hokkien, Teochew, or Cantonese) cuisines, though with the large number of expatriates and foreign workers from China these days, cuisine originating from Shanghai and further north is also not hard to find. True local Chinese restaurants generally serve dishes little seen in Chinese restaurants internationally and in China, due to the combination of their southern Chinese roots and local influences. Depending on where you go and what you order, prices can vary greatly. In ordinary restaurants, prices usually range from $15 ~ $35 per person, while in top-end restaurants in luxury hotels, meals can cost $300 per person when they involve delicacies such as abalone, suckling pig and lobster. As with Chinese restaurants anywhere, food is eaten with chopsticks and served with Chinese tea. Being a maritime city, one common speciality is seafood restaurants, offering Chinese-influenced Singaporean classics like chilli crabs. These are much more fun to visit in a group, but be careful about what you order: gourmet items like Sri Lankan giant crab can easily push your bill up to hundreds of dollars. Menus typically say "market price", and if you ask they'll quote you the price per 100g, but a big crab can easily top 2kg. The best-known seafood spots are clustered on the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/East_Coast" title="Singapore/East Coast" id="mwBoM">East Coast</a>, but for ambience, the riverside restaurants at <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Riverside" title="Singapore/Riverside" id="mwBoQ">Boat Quay and Clarke Quay</a> can't be beat. Again, always enquire about the prices when they aren't stated in full, and be wary of touts. Singapore also has its share of good Western restaurants, with British- and American-influenced food being a clear favourite among locals. Most of the more affordable chains can be found in various shopping centres throughout the island, and prices for main courses range from $14 ~ 22. A uniquely Singaporean variant is Hainanese Western food, which traces its origins to the Hainanese migrants who worked as cooks for European employers during the colonial period, and most hawker centres will have a Western stall or two selling dishes like "chicken cutlet" (deep-fried breaded chicken) with baked beans, coleslaw and chips, usually for under $10. You may also encounter Hainanese curry, which was adapted from Indian curries by Hainanese cooks to suit the palates of their British employers, with the spice level dialed down drastically, and typically served with rice and some side dishes such as a deep fried breaded pork chop, braised cabbage and braised pork belly. French, Italian, Japanese and Korean food is also readily available, though prices tend to be on the expensive side, while Thai and Indonesian restaurants tend to be more affordable. One British import much loved by Singaporeans is high tea. In the classical form, as served up by finer hotels across the island, this is a light afternoon meal consisting of tea and a wide array of British-style savoury snacks and sweet pastries like finger sandwiches and scones. However, the term is increasingly used for afternoon buffets of any kind, and Chinese dim sum and various Singaporean dishes are common additions. Prices vary, but you'll usually be looking at $35–80 per head, not including alcohol. Singaporeans are big on buffets, especially international buffets offering a wide variety of dishes including Western, Chinese and Japanese as well as some local dishes at a fixed price. Popular chains include Sakura and <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.viennabuffet.com/" class="external text" id="mwBpA">Vienna</a>. Most hotels also offer lunch and dinner buffets. Champagne brunches on Sundays are particularly popular, but you can expect to pay over $150 per head and popular spots, like Mezza9 at the Hyatt on <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Orchard" title="Singapore/Orchard" id="mwBpM">Orchard</a>, will require reservations. Some restaurants put small side dishes (usually braised peanuts or prawn crackers) and wet paper towels on the table without asking. You will be charged a dollar or two for them unless you ask to take them away. <section data-mw-section-id="71" id="mwBpU"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading4" id="mwCrc"><h4 id="Fine_dining">Fine dining</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=71" title="Edit section: Fine dining" id="mwCro">edit</a>]</div> Singapore has no fewer than 44 <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://guide.michelin.com/sg/en/" class="external text" id="mwBpc">Michelin</a>-starred restaurants, ranging from French degustations at 3-star Odette in the National Gallery to the eponymous $5 bowl at Tai Hwa Pork Noodle.

Many Indians and small groups of Chinese Buddhists are vegetarian, so Indian stalls usually have a number of veggie options and some hawker centres will have a Chinese vegetarian stall or two, often serving up amazing meat imitations made from gluten. Larger Buddhist temples will sometimes have a vegetarian restaurant on site, while others will sell vegetarian food on Buddhist festivals to raise money for charity, and these are a good option too. The <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.sbl.org.sg/chn/index.aspx" class="external text" id="mwBqQ">Singapore Buddhist Lodge</a> provides three free vegetarian meals to the public every day, and people of all faiths are welcome, but donations are certainly appreciated if you can afford to do so. Chinese vegetarian food traditionally does not use dairy products and is thus typically vegan, though be careful as some Chinese vegetarian hawker stalls do serve eggs. Indian vegetarian food, however, often employs cheese and other milk products. Be on your guard in ordinary Chinese restaurants though, as even dishes that appear vegetarian on the menu may contain seafood products like oyster sauce or salted fish — check with the waiter if in doubt. Some restaurants can be found that use "no garlic, no onions". Muslims should look out for halal certificates issued by MUIS, the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore. This is found at practically every Malay stall and many Indian Muslim operations too, but more rarely on outlets run by the Chinese, few of whom are Muslims. However, there are a few halal food courts around, which are an excellent choice for safely sampling halal Chinese food. Many Western fast-food chains in Singapore use halal meat: look for a certificate around the ordering area, or ask a manager if in doubt. A few restaurants skimp on the formal certification and simply put up "no pork, no lard" signs; it's your call if this is good enough for you. Kosher-observant Jews, on the other hand, will have a harder time as kosher food is nearly unknown in Singapore. There is a kosher grocery store on the grounds of the Maghain Aboth Synagogue on Waterloo Street, as well as a kosher branch of Coffee Bean nearby; check with the <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.singaporejews.com/" class="external text" id="mwBqw">Jewish Welfare Board</a><sup class="error-deadlink noprint" about="#mwt196" typeof="mw:Transclusion" id="mwBq0" data-mw='{"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"Dead link","href":"./Template:Dead_link"},"params":{"date":{"wt":"June 2024"},"bot":{"wt":"InternetArchiveBot"}},"i":0}}]}'>[dead link]<link rel="mw:PageProp/Category" href="./Category:Articles_with_dead_external_links" about="#mwt196" id="mwBq4"/> for details. There are two kosher restaurants in Singapore: <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://singaporejews.com/awafi-restaurant/" class="external text" id="mwBq8">Awafi</a> a casual restaurant on the grounds of the Maghain Aboth Synangogue, and <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://aniba.com.sg/" class="external text" id="mwBrA">Aniba</a>, an Israeli <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Fine_dining" title="Fine dining" id="mwBrE">fine dining</a> restaurant. Awareness of allergies is generally limited. Severe shellfish allergy is particularly problematic for local food, since shrimp paste (belacan/hae bi) is very commonly used in both local Chinese and Malay cooking and many soup stocks are flavored with prawns. Soy allergy is also severely limiting, since tofu & soy sauce are so common. For both, Indian cuisine is worth exploring, since the South Indian style that is common in Singapore rarely uses either ingredient. Peanuts are not quite as ubiquitous, but still very common in desserts and pastries, found in some savory dishes like satay, and peanut oil is also popular. If cross-contamination is a concern, you're best off avoiding hawker food entirely. Coeliac disease is relatively unheard of in Singapore, so don't expect to find information on menus about whether dishes contain gluten or not. Gluten awareness is spreading in Singapore as well, and many upmarket restaurants will have internationally trained chefs who can cater to your needs. Gluten-free products are available in most <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.coldstorage.com.sg/" class="external text" id="mwBrw">Cold Storage</a> and Marketplace supermarkets. You can also treat yourself to many naturally gluten-free regional specialities, such as Hainanese chicken rice (be sure to ask for chicken without sauce) and Indian masala dosa rice/lentil crepes. </section></section><section data-mw-section-id="73" id="mwBr4"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2" id="mwCsM"><h2 id="Drink">Drink</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=73" title="Edit section: Drink" id="mwCsY">edit</a>]</div>  <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwBr8"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:ClarkeQuay_Purple.JPG" class="mw-file-description" id="mwBsA"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:ClarkeQuay_Purple.JPG" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/14/ClarkeQuay_Purple.JPG/330px-ClarkeQuay_Purple.JPG" decoding="async" data-file-width="3008" data-file-height="1500" data-file-type="bitmap" height="165" width="330" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/14/ClarkeQuay_Purple.JPG/495px-ClarkeQuay_Purple.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/14/ClarkeQuay_Purple.JPG/660px-ClarkeQuay_Purple.JPG 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwBsE"/></a><figcaption id="mwBsI">Clarke Quay by night</figcaption></figure> Singapore's nightlife isn't quite a match for <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Bangkok/Patpong" title="Bangkok/Patpong" class="mw-redirect" id="mwBsQ">Patpong</a>, but it's no slouch either: some clubs have 24 hr licences and few places close before 3AM.

Any artists touring Asia are pretty much guaranteed to stop in Singapore, with superclub Zouk (Clarke Quay) in particular regularly clocking high on lists of the world's best nightclubs and Marquee at Marina Bay Sands drawing big names. Fancy cocktail bars cluster near the aptly named Club St near the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Riverside" title="Singapore/Riverside" id="mwBs8">CBD</a> and Keong Saik in <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Chinatown" title="Singapore/Chinatown" id="mwBtE">Chinatown</a>, which is also where you'll find Singapore's gay bars. The legal drinking age is 18, and while this is surprisingly loosely enforced, some clubs have higher age limits. If you are asked for identification, the only acceptable forms of identification are a Singapore-issued identity card or a passport. Friday is generally the biggest night of the week for going out, with Saturday a close second. Sunday is gay night in many bars and clubs, while Wednesday or Thursday is ladies' night, often meaning not just free entrance but free drinks for women. Most clubs are closed on Monday and Tuesday, while bars generally stay open but tend to be very quiet. For a night out Singapore style, gather a group of friends and head for the nearest karaoke box. Major chains include <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.partyworldktv.com.sg/" class="external text" id="mwBtY">Party World</a> and the family-friendly "no alcohol, no surprises, no frills" <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://ktvteoheng.com.sg/" class="external text" id="mwBtg">Teo Heng</a>. Room rental ranges from $30/hour and up, drinks and snacks extra. At the other end of the karaoke spectrum are various non-chain, glitzy (or dodgy) looking, neon-covered KTV lounges, which may charge much higher rates. Perhaps unique to Singapore is the Thai disco (siam diu), where patrons compete for the affections of entertainers — who, despite the name, can be from anywhere in the region as well as Singapore itself — by purchasing expensive drinks and "flowers" (garlands or sashes) for anywhere from $50 to $10,000 or more. Unlike some neighboring countries, there's no nudity or sex involved: your money buys the chance to chat with them, nothing more, and there's enough non-obvious social etiquette involved that these places are best visited with a Singaporean guide or not at all. <section data-mw-section-id="74" id="mwBt8"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCsk"><h3 id="Alcohol">Alcohol</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=74" title="Edit section: Alcohol" id="mwCsw">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwBuA"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Singapore_Sling.jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mwBuE"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Singapore_Sling.jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/Singapore_Sling.jpg/130px-Singapore_Sling.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="1536" data-file-height="2048" data-file-type="bitmap" height="173" width="130" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/Singapore_Sling.jpg/195px-Singapore_Sling.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/Singapore_Sling.jpg/260px-Singapore_Sling.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwBuI"/></a><figcaption id="mwBuM">The original Singapore Sling at the Raffles Hotel</figcaption></figure> Alcohol is widely available but expensive due to Singapore's heavy sin taxes. You can bring in up to one litre of liquor and two litres of wine and beer if you arrive from countries other than Malaysia. Careful shopping at major supermarkets will also throw up common basic Australian wine labels for around $20. Public drunkenness is socially frowned upon in Singapore, and misbehaving under the influence of alcohol will certainly not gain you any respect from Singaporean friends. Do not allow any confrontations to escalate into fights, as the police will be called in, and you may face prison and possibly caning. Many Singaporeans, including most but by no means all Muslims, abstain from alcohol entirely. Public drinking is prohibited outside licensed venues between 10:30PM and 7AM, with additional restrictions in <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Little_India" title="Singapore/Little India" id="mwBuc">Little India</a> and Geylang that prohibit public drinking during weekends and public holidays. While most bars, nightclubs and restaurants are licensed, supermarkets and liquor stores are not allowed to sell alcohol late at night. Prices when drinking out vary. You can enjoy a large bottle of beer of your choice at a coffee shop or hawker centre for around $7 (and the local colour comes thrown in for free). On the other hand, drinks in any bar, club or fancy restaurant remain pricey, with a basic drink clocking in at $10–15 while fancy cocktails would usually be in the $15–25 range. On the upside, happy hours and two-for-one promotions are common, and the entry price for clubs usually includes several drink tickets. Almost all restaurants in Singapore allow bringing your own (BYO) wine and cheaper restaurants without a wine menu usually don't even charge corkage, although in these places you'll need to bring your own bottle opener and glasses. Fancier places charge $20–50, although many offer free corkage days on Monday or Tuesday. Tourists flock to the Long Bar in the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Riverside#Drink" title="Singapore/Riverside" id="mwBus">Raffles Hotel</a> to sample the original Singapore Sling, a sweet pink mix of pineapple juice, gin, Peter Heering, D.O.M., Cointreau, Angostura and lime juice invented at the Long Bar in 1915. The tipple of choice in Singapore is the local beer, Tiger, a refreshing if unexciting lager, but a microbrewery boom has led to outlets such as Brewerkz (Riverside Point), Paulaner Brauhaus (Millenia Walk) and Pump Room (Clarke Quay) offering interesting alternatives. </section><section data-mw-section-id="75" id="mwBvE"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCs8"><h3 id="Tobacco">Tobacco</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=75" title="Edit section: Tobacco" id="mwCtI">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwBvI"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Singapore-Designated-smoking-area-sign-01.jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mwBvM"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Singapore-Designated-smoking-area-sign-01.jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Singapore-Designated-smoking-area-sign-01.jpg/220px-Singapore-Designated-smoking-area-sign-01.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="3727" data-file-height="2880" data-file-type="bitmap" height="170" width="220" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Singapore-Designated-smoking-area-sign-01.jpg/330px-Singapore-Designated-smoking-area-sign-01.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Singapore-Designated-smoking-area-sign-01.jpg/440px-Singapore-Designated-smoking-area-sign-01.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwBvQ"/></a><figcaption id="mwBvU">Smoking is allowed only in designated areas</figcaption></figure> Tobacco is heavily taxed and there is no duty free allowance, although in practice a single opened pack (not carton!) is often ignored.

There is a total ban on smoking in all air-conditioned places (including pubs and discos), and strict limitations on where you can smoke outside as well (e.g.,within 5 metres of bus stops and building entrances, parks, covered walkways and shelters, playgrounds are off limits).

Therefore, when considering how much to allocate for accommodation, don't forget to add 18.8% to the advertised price (10% for the service charge then add 8% GST of the amount including the service charge). <section data-mw-section-id="78" id="mwBw4"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCuE"><h3 id="Budget">Budget</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=78" title="Edit section: Budget" id="mwCuQ">edit</a>]</div>  <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Hostels" title="Hostels" id="mwBxA">Backpackers' hostels</a> can be found primarily in <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Little_India" title="Singapore/Little India" id="mwBxE">Little India</a>, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Bugis" title="Singapore/Bugis" id="mwBxI">Bugis</a>, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Riverside" title="Singapore/Riverside" id="mwBxM">Clarke Quay</a> and the <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/East_Coast" title="Singapore/East Coast" id="mwBxQ">East Coast</a>.

Prices are competitive with hotels but quite expensive compared to apartments. It is illegal to offer short-term rentals (under 3 months) in Singapore without a hotel license. Renting an apartment in Singapore will generally require a working visa. While over 80% of Singaporeans live in government-subsidised Housing Development Board (HDB) flats, their availability to foreigners is very limited. Most expats thus turn to private housing blocks known as condos, where an average three-bedroom apartment will cost you anything from $4,000 per month for an older apartment in the suburbs to $20,000 for a top-of-the-line deluxe one on Orchard Road. Most condos have facilities like pools, gyms, tennis court, car park and 24 hr security. As the supply of studio and one-bedroom apartments is very limited, most people on a budget share an apartment with friends or colleagues, or just sublet a single room. Landed houses, known as bungalows, are incredibly expensive near the city centre (rents are commonly tens of thousands) but can drop if you're willing to settle outside the city centre — and remember that you can drive across the country in 30 minutes. One or two-month security deposits are standard practice and you usually need to pay the agent a commission of 2 weeks per year of lease. Leases are usually for two years, with a "diplomatic clause" that allows you to terminate after 1 year. <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.singaporeexpats.com/" class="external text" id="mwB0Y">Singapore Expats</a> is the largest real estate agency geared for expats and their free classifieds are a popular choice for hunting for rooms or apartment-mates. </section></section><section data-mw-section-id="82" id="mwB0c"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2" id="mwCvk"><h2 id="Learn">Learn</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=82" title="Edit section: Learn" id="mwCvw">edit</a>]</div> Singapore's universities are generally well-regarded and draw exchange students from near and far. <ul id="mwB0k"><li id="mwB0o"><bdi class="vcard" about="#mwt208" typeof="mw:Transclusion" id="mwB0s" data-mw='{"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"do\n","href":"./Template:Do"},"params":{"name":{"wt":"National University of Singapore (NUS)"},"url":{"wt":"http://www.nus.edu.sg/"},"email":{"wt":""},"address":{"wt":""},"lat":{"wt":""},"long":{"wt":""},"directions":{"wt":""},"phone":{"wt":""},"tollfree":{"wt":""},"fax":{"wt":""},"hours":{"wt":""},"price":{"wt":""},"content":{"wt":"Singapore's oldest university, strong in law, medicine, computing and science.

However, you must have a work permit (WP) or an employment pass (EP) to work in Singapore. These require that you have a firm job offer and the sponsoring company applies on your behalf. There is also a <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.mom.gov.sg/passes-and-permits/work-holiday-programme" class="external text" id="mwB3M">Working Holiday Programme</a> for recent university graduates who want to live in Singapore for up to 6 months. Work permits are mostly intended for menial, low-skilled labourers. To be eligible for an employment pass, you will generally need to have a minimum salary of at least $4,500 per month and hold at least a bachelor's degree from a reasonably reputable university. There is also an intermediate known as the S pass, which is usually granted to mid-skilled workers who have been promoted to positions of junior leadership such as a work site supervisor, and would require you to have a minimum salary of at least $2,500 per month as well as your employer's recommendation. Employment pass and S pass holders with a monthly salary of at least $6,000 are allowed to bring in their family members on a dependent pass. If your employment is terminated, you will get a social visit pass (a visitors visa with no employment rights) which allows you to stay for 30 days. You can look for another job during this time, but don't overstay your visa, and do not think about working without the right papers; this will result in a short stay in the local prison, with added fines, possibly caning, certain deportation and being banned from re-entering. In addition, your employer will also face hefty fines and imprisonment. For more information, contact the <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.mom.gov.sg/" class="external text" id="mwB3s">Ministry of Manpower</a>. Once you have been legally working in Singapore for a few years on an EP/S-Pass, applying for permanent residence (PR) is fairly straightforward, although these are no longer handed out like candy. If granted — and the rule of thumb is, the higher your salary, the more likely you are to get it — you can stay in Singapore indefinitely (as long as you can show some income every 5 years) and can change jobs freely. Work permit holders are generally not eligible to apply for permanent residency. Those gaining permanent residency through the Professionals/Technical Personnel and Skilled Workers Scheme or Investor Scheme are not required to report for the national service (conscription), but male second-generation PRs are required to register and report for enlistment once they attained the specified ages. The government is also highly supportive of entrepreneurship in the country, offering a 3-year tax exemption on profit for new companies (for the first S$100,000) and having one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the world at 17% a year. Even the company incorporation process is done entirely online these days and can be completed as quickly as within one day. In addition, there are various governmental schemes which allow foreigners to obtain entrepreneur visas or even permanent residency by investing large sums of money in local businesses. </section><section data-mw-section-id="85" id="mwB4I"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2" id="mwCws"><h2 id="Stay_safe">Stay safe</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=85" title="Edit section: Stay safe" id="mwCw4">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r4855793" about="#mwt222" typeof="mw:Extension/templatestyles mw:Transclusion" id="mwB4M" data-mw='{"name":"templatestyles","attrs":{"src":"Template:Cautionbox/styles.css"},"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"cautionbox","href":"./Template:Cautionbox"},"params":{"1":{"wt":"Singapore treats '''drug offences''' ''extremely'' severely.

Most people, including female travellers, will not face any problems walking along the streets alone at night. But as the local police say, "low crime does not mean no crime" — beware of <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Pickpockets" title="Pickpockets" id="mwB4s">pickpockets</a> in crowded areas and don't forget your common sense entirely. The <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.police.gov.sg/" class="external text" id="mwB44">Singapore Police Force</a> is responsible for law enforcement throughout the country, and you can recognise police officers by their distinctive dark blue uniforms. Most visitors will find the majority of Singaporean police officers to be professional and helpful, and you should report any crimes that you encounter to them as soon as possible: timely police reports often result in the apprehension of criminals within hours. Singaporean police have broader powers than their equivalents in Western countries. In particular, while you are entitled to have a lawyer represent you at trial, the police have the right to restrict your access to a lawyer during your interrogation if they believe it could interfere with their investigation. In practice, the police won't allow lawyer presence for the 48-hour police detention. In addition, while you have the right against self-incrimination, you do not have the right to silence and are required to answer the police's questions truthfully unless it contravenes the former. You should always make all statements in your defence during your interrogation, as failure to do so could result in the judge not believing you should you raise them for the first time at your trial. Singapore's squeaky cleanliness is achieved in part by strict rules against activities that are tolerated in other countries. For example, jay-walking, spitting, littering and drinking and eating on public transport are prohibited. Locals joke about Singapore being a fine city because heavy fines are levied if you're caught committing an offence. Look around for sign boards detailing the "Don'ts" and the fines associated with these offences and heed them. Repeated littering offenders are not only subject to fines, but also to a "Corrective Work Order" where they are made to wear a bright yellow jacket and pick up rubbish in public places. Enforcement is however, sporadic at best and it's not uncommon to see people openly litter, spit, smoke in non-smoking zones, etc. Chewing gum, famously long banned, is now available at pharmacies for medical purposes (e.g., nicotine gum) if you ask for it directly, show your ID and sign the register. While importing gum is still officially an offence, you can usually bring in a few packs for personal consumption without any problem. <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwB5U"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:K-9_Unit_Singapore.jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mwB5Y"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:K-9_Unit_Singapore.jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/K-9_Unit_Singapore.jpg/220px-K-9_Unit_Singapore.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="1642" data-file-height="1095" data-file-type="bitmap" height="147" width="220" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/K-9_Unit_Singapore.jpg/330px-K-9_Unit_Singapore.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/K-9_Unit_Singapore.jpg/440px-K-9_Unit_Singapore.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwB5c"/></a><figcaption id="mwB5g">Police officers in Singapore</figcaption></figure> For some crimes, most notably illegal entry and overstaying your visa for over 30 or 90 days, Singapore imposes caning as a punishment for male offenders. Other offences which have caning as a punishment include vandalism, robbery, molestation and rape. Having sex with a girl under the age of 16 is considered to be rape under Singapore law even if the girl consents to it. Strokes from the thick rattan cane are excruciatingly painful, take weeks to heal and scar for life. Crimes such as murder, kidnapping, unauthorised possession of firearms and drug trafficking are punished with death. Long criminalized under a colonial-era statute, male homosexual contact was legalized in January 2023, while female homosexuality has always been legal. However, attitudes towards gays and lesbians from locals often leave much to be desired, especially among the Muslim and Christian communities. Nevertheless, unprovoked violence against homosexuals is almost unheard of, and you are unlikely to get anything beyond drawing stares and whispers. Transgender people may also be subject to some degree of derision from locals, though unprovoked violent incidents are almost unheard of. Under Singapore law, transgender people may change their legal gender and use public toilets of their choice only after undergoing sex reassignment surgery. <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://pinkdot.sg" class="external text" id="mwB58">Pink Dot</a> is Singapore's LGBTQ organisation; they hold an annual pride event every June in Hong Lim Park, though foreigners are not allowed to participate. <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Begging" title="Begging" id="mwB6I">Begging</a> is illegal in Singapore, but you'll occasionally see beggars on the streets. Most are not Singaporean — even the "monks" dressed in robes, who occasionally pester tourists for donations, are usually bogus. While jaywalking is illegal, it is still a common thing and occurs quite often around the city. Beware though that if a police officer catches you, you might end up with a small fine. Put simply, the roads are designated for cars and the footpaths are for people. Singapore's constitution pledges "freedom of expression", but in practice this right is severely curtailed, as a glance at the neutered domestic press will show. Police will not arrest you for expressing anti-government opinions in casual conversation with your friends, but foreigners in Singapore are not allowed to engage in any sort of political activity, including attending rallies or protests, regardless of the subject. The offence of scandalizing the court is broadly defined, with any act or statement that could bring a court or judge into disrepute being liable for prosecution. There have been cases in which foreign journalists and jurists were convicted, so you should also avoid making comments regarding the judiciary. It is illegal to display the flags or emblems of foreign countries in public unless you are a diplomat representing that country, or have otherwise received special permission from the government in advance. There are also restrictions on displaying the Singapore flag; in general, you can only fly it between July and September for National Day celebrations. In addition, the public display of communist symbols is restricted, and one can be arrested if authorities believe your display could result in breach of the peace or undermine Singapore's national interests. Singapore is virtually immune to natural disasters: there are no fault lines nearby, although slight tremors from Indonesia's earthquakes can sometimes be felt from the upper storeys of buildings. Other landmasses shield it from tsunamis, and the local conditions are not conducive to the formation of typhoons and tornadoes. Flooding in the November–January monsoon season and flash-flooding from heavy rainfall is an occasional hazard, especially in low-lying parts of the East Coast, but any water usually drains off within a day and life continues as normal. <section data-mw-section-id="86" id="mwB6w"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCxE"><h3 id="Bribery">Bribery</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=86" title="Edit section: Bribery" id="mwCxQ">edit</a>]</div> Singapore is generally considered to be relatively free from corruption in both public and private life. Bribery is a very serious offence penalised with long jail terms together with fines.

The Jehovah's Witnesses is banned for locals in Singapore (due to their avoidance of military service) but this generally does not affect tourists so long as they do not proselytise. </section><section data-mw-section-id="88" id="mwB7g"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwCx0"><h3 id="Firearms">Firearms</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=88" title="Edit section: Firearms" id="mwCyA">edit</a>]</div> Singapore has very strict firearms laws, and unauthorised possession of firearms is punishable by long jail terms at best, and at worst could even result in the death penalty for presumed arms trafficking. Air-soft guns are also prohibited, and possession of them without a licence will land you in jail for up to 3 years. Licences to purchase and own firearms are generally only granted for sporting purposes (i.e. for target shooting), and would generally require you to be a member of a registered shooting club. Firearms must be stored securely at a shooting range, and bringing one out of the shooting range is generally illegal unless you have received special permission in advance. Visitors who wish to bring firearms in are required to apply for a permit in advance, though in practice these permits are only granted for official shooting competitions. You will also be required to travel under police escort from the port of entry to the shooting range, where you will have to securely store your firearm until you leave the country. </section><section

You'll still want to make sure your insurance is in order before a prolonged hospitalisation and/or major surgery. For minor ailments, head down to the nearest suburban shopping mall or HDB shopping district and look for a general practitioner (GP), or do a search in SingHealth's comprehensive <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://www.singhealth.com.sg/rhs/Pages/Find-a-GP.aspx" class="external text" id="mwB-A">Find-a-GP</a> directory. They usually receive patients without appointment and can prescribe drugs on the spot or refer you to specialists, and the total cost of a consultation, medicine included, rarely exceeds $30. Public polyclinics, while cheaper for locals, are usually more expensive at unsubsidised rates ($50+) and generally have longer waits.

Some public toilets may charge 10 or 20 cents per entry. If there's no toilet paper in the stall, take a look around, as it's sometimes provided on a shared giant roll outside. Most toilets have bowls, but there is usually one squatting cubicle in every public toilet.

What would be decent behaviour at home, wherever home might be, is unlikely to offend anyone in Singapore. In Singapore, unlike much of southeast Asia, women wearing revealing clothing or men wearing shorts and slippers are perfectly acceptable and only the fanciest bars and restaurants, government institutions (e.g. parliament and the courts), and some private clubs, try to enforce dress codes. That said, Singaporeans tend to be more socially conservative than Westerners, meaning that public display of affection is still frowned upon: holding hands is fine, but making out in public is considered to be impolite. Toplessness for women is not acceptable anywhere, even on the beach. Most Buddhist and Hindu temples, as well as mosques, require women to be conservatively dressed - no bare shoulders, and no skirts above the knee-cap. The major touristy temples will have shawls and sarongs so visitors can cover up before entering. Many places of worship also require you to remove your shoes before you enter. The local dialect with its heavy Chinese influences may appear brusque or even rude, but saying "You want beer or not?" is in fact more polite in Chinese than asking if you want beer; after all, the person asking you the question is offering you a choice, not making a demand. Take <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="#Eat" class="mw-selflink-fragment" id="mwCAo">dietary restrictions</a> into account when inviting Singaporean friends for a meal. Many Indians and some Chinese are vegetarian. Most Malays, being Muslims, eat only halal food, while most Hindus (and a few Chinese) abstain from beef. If unsure, ask beforehand. When visiting Chinese temples, do not point at the statues of deities with your index finger, as this is considered to be very rude. Use your thumb or an up-facing open palm instead. Swastikas are commonly seen in Buddhist and Hindu temples and altars. This is an ancient religious symbol that has nothing to do with Nazism. <section data-mw-section-id="94" id="mwCA4"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwC0E"><h3 id="Sensitive_topics">Sensitive topics</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=94" title="Edit section: Sensitive topics" id="mwC0Q">edit</a>]</div> Sensitive issues in Singapore include immigration, politics, race, religion and LGBT rights. In a country where only 60% of the population are citizens, immigration is particularly sensitive, and while few Singaporeans are explicitly xenophobic, many resent the influx of "foreign talents" (once the government's term, now heavily loaded with sarcasm) competing for jobs while not integrating into society or having to fulfill obligations like military service. Singapore is not China, and despite being a majority of the population, most ethnic Chinese identify themselves as Singaporeans instead of Chinese nationals, who are commonly referred to as "PRCs" or "Ah Tiong". That said, Sinophobia is generally less prevalent than in Hong Kong or Taiwan. There is similar tension between Singaporeans of Indian descent and recent Indian immigrants, dubbed "CECA" after an unpopular free trade agreement. Like in many other Asian countries, saving face is very important in Singaporean culture. You should generally not point out other people's mistakes in order not to cause major embarrassment, and it is considered poor taste to flaunt your wealth in front of your less well-to-do peers. Bragging about your achievements will also in general not be well received. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a deeply divisive issue, with most Jews and Christians supporting Israel, and most Muslims supporting the Palestinians. Tread carefully when discussing it with locals. Due to this sensitivity, all protests concerning this issue have been banned. While police will not arrest you for expressing your views on social media or in casual conversation with your friends, be careful not to run afoul of Singapore's notoriously strict anti-hate speech laws. Singaporeans have a tense relationship with their cultural identity. On the one hand, Singapore's first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew was reportedly proud of being called "the best bloody Englishman east of Suez"; on the other, there is an understandable desire to display a pride for genuinely Singaporean cultural aspects including food. One area in which this tension manifests is the use of Singlish, which is officially discouraged by the government through its "Speak Good English Campaign", but is often employed deliberately by all strata of society as a means to display "Singaporean-ness". Tread lightly in these fields and be respectful. </section><section data-mw-section-id="95" id="mwCBg"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwC0c"><h3 id="Visiting_homes">Visiting homes</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=95" title="Edit section: Visiting homes" id="mwC0o">edit</a>]</div> If invited to somebody's house, always remove your shoes before you enter as most Singaporeans do not wear their shoes at home. Socks are perfectly acceptable though. Some households may provide slippers in the bathroom, but these are generally not meant to be worn anywhere else. Beware of taboos if bringing gifts. Any products (food or otherwise) involving animals may cause offence and are best avoided, as are white flowers (usually reserved for funerals). Knives and clocks are also symbols of cutting ties and death, respectively, and some Chinese are superstitious about the number four. Many Singaporean Muslims and some Hindus abstain from alcohol. Nicely packaged cookies or cakes are a safe bet, as is a bouquet from a local florist. In Singapore, it is considered rude to open a gift in front of the person who gave it to you. Instead, wait until the person has left and open it in private. </section><section data-mw-section-id="96" id="mwCBw"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwC00"><h3 id="Business">Business</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=96" title="Edit section: Business" id="mwC1A">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwCB0"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Singapore_Skyline_in_the_Early_Morning.JPG" class="mw-file-description" id="mwCB4"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Singapore_Skyline_in_the_Early_Morning.JPG" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Singapore_Skyline_in_the_Early_Morning.JPG/220px-Singapore_Skyline_in_the_Early_Morning.JPG" decoding="async" data-file-width="3872" data-file-height="2178" data-file-type="bitmap" height="124" width="220" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Singapore_Skyline_in_the_Early_Morning.JPG/330px-Singapore_Skyline_in_the_Early_Morning.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Singapore_Skyline_in_the_Early_Morning.JPG/440px-Singapore_Skyline_in_the_Early_Morning.JPG 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwCB8"/></a><figcaption id="mwCCA">Singapore skyline</figcaption></figure> Singaporeans are punctual, so show up on time. The standard greeting is a firm handshake. However, conservative Muslims avoid touching the opposite sex, so a man meeting a Malay woman should let her offer her hand first and a woman meeting a Malay man should wait for him to offer his hand. If they opt to place their hand on the heart and bow slightly instead, just follow suit. Singaporeans generally do not hug, especially if it is someone they have just met, and doing so would probably make your host feel awkward, though the other person will probably be too polite to say anything as saving face is a major Asian value. For men, standard business attire is a long-sleeved shirt and a tie, although the tie is often omitted, the shirt's collar button opened instead. Jackets are rarely worn because of the hot weather all year round. Women usually wear Western business attire, but a few prefer Malay-style kebaya and sarong, Chinese-style cheongsam, or Indian-style sari. Business cards are often exchanged when people meet for business for the first time: hold yours with both hands by the top corners, so the text faces the recipient, while simultaneously receiving theirs. (This sounds more complicated than it is.) Never give out or receive a business card with only one hand, as it is considered to be very disrespectful. Study the cards you receive and feel free to ask questions; when you are finished, place them on the table in front of you, not in a shirt pocket or wallet, and do not write on them (some may find it disrespectful). Business gifts are generally frowned on as they may equate to bribery, and government employees are strictly forbidden from accepting gifts. Small talk and bringing up the subject indirectly are neither necessary nor expected. Most meetings get straight down to business. </section></section><section data-mw-section-id="97" id="mwCCs"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2" id="mwC1M"><h2 id="Connect">Connect</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=97" title="Edit section: Connect" id="mwC1Y">edit</a>]</div> <section data-mw-section-id="98" id="mwCCw"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwC1k"><h3 id="By_phone">By phone</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=98" title="Edit section: By phone" id="mwC1w">edit</a>]</div> The international telephone country code for Singapore is 65. Phone numbers in Singapore have the format <code id="mwCC8">+65 XXXX XXXX</code> where "65" is the country code for Singapore. Due to the small area of Singapore, there are no area codes. Any number starting with <code id="mwCDA">8</code> or <code id="mwCDE">9</code> is a mobile phone, while numbers starting with <code id="mwCDI">3</code> or <code id="mwCDM">6</code>are fixed lines (businesses and residential). Toll free numbers start with <code id="mwCDQ">800</code> or <code id="mwCDU">1800</code>, followed by 7 digits, and usually cannot be dialed from outside the country. With the advent and ubiquity of mobile phones, the presence of public payphones has been reduced but nonetheless they can still be found at train stations, bus interchanges, shopping centres, and residential areas. Singapore has four mobile telecommunication providers with their own networks: <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.singtel.com/" class="external text" id="mwCDk">Singtel</a>, <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://simba.sg/home" class="external text" id="mwCDs">Simba</a>, <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.starhub.com/" class="external text" id="mwCD0">StarHub</a> and <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.m1.com.sg/" class="external text" id="mwCD8">MobileOne (M1)</a>. They have generally excellent coverage throughout the island. These networks are a mix of 3G, 4G, and 5G, with 4G being the most common band. There are many minor virtual operators operating off these networks but are generally unavailable to short-term travellers. Travellers can obtain prepaid SIM cards from 7-Eleven convenience stores, telecommunication shops, currency exchange counters, and at Changi International Airport. An international passport or Singapore ID is required to register for the SIM card. Basic plans including 1 GB of data start from only $4 for 30 days. If you're planning to continue to nearby countries, every carrier has their own options for international roaming, some more affordable than others. Singtel has <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://www.singtel.com/personal/products-services/mobile/prepaid-plans/hi-dataroam-packs" class="external text" id="mwCEA">hi!DataRoam</a><sup class="error-deadlink noprint" about="#mwt243" typeof="mw:Transclusion" id="mwCEE" data-mw='{"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"Dead link","href":"./Template:Dead_link"},"params":{"date":{"wt":"April 2023"},"bot":{"wt":"InternetArchiveBot"}},"i":0}}]}'>[dead link]<link rel="mw:PageProp/Category" href="./Category:Articles_with_dead_external_links" about="#mwt243" id="mwCEI"/> at a relatively high $5/100MB for Malaysia and Australia, and either $10 or $20 per GB in select other countries. M1 pricing starts at $5 for 1 GB for 3 days in Malaysia. Starhub is the roaming-friendliest; their <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://www.starhub.com/personal/mobile/mobile-phones-plans/prepaid-cards/happy-roam.html" class="external text" id="mwCEM">Happy Roam</a> policy means that domestic data plans can be used in any of their Happy Roam destinations at no extra cost. Additionally, all of these carriers now have starter packs that include a small allowance of roaming data in Malaysia and Indonesia, as well as certain countries beyond (check with the carrier you're purchasing from). In northern parts of Singapore near Malaysia (e.g. Woodlands, Sungei Buloh, Pulau Ubin), your phone may automatically switch to a Malaysian network, incurring international roaming charges even though you haven't physically left Singapore. Check the operating network (or switch to manual network selection) before you call or browse, disable roaming on your device, or pay a little extra at the beginning for a SIM that includes some roaming allowances. </section><section data-mw-section-id="99" id="mwCEU"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwC18"><h3 id="By_net">By net</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=99" title="Edit section: By net" id="mwC2I">edit</a>]</div> Free Wi-Fi is standard at paid accommodations, and public Wi-Fi is common but not everywhere. Many, but not all, free public Wi-Fi networks require you to register your phone number and receive a verification text message (SMS) - they do not require a Singapore number, so if your phone has roaming service from another country this might still work. Some networks ask for your phone number or email but do not require you to verify it. For free public Wi-Fi without a complicated sign-in, try local shopping centres (though not all have it) and the Gardens by the Bay. Singapore has a nationwide free Wireless@SG system, with hotspots at many public locations like MRT stations. The network can be used even without a SIM card, but it does require signing up and downloading the official <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://www.imda.gov.sg/programme-listing/Wireless-At-SG/Wireless-at-SG-for-Consumers" class="external text" id="mwCEo">Wireless@SGx app</a>. Internet cafes charging around $2/hr are sparse and slowly dying off since almost all residents have broadband Internet access at home, work, and/or school. Head to <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Chinatown" title="Singapore/Chinatown" id="mwCE0">Chinatown</a> or <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Singapore/Little_India" title="Singapore/Little India" id="mwCE4">Little India</a> if you need to get on-line, or check out the top floors of many suburban malls, which feature Internet cafes doubling as on-line gaming parlours. Alternatively, <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.nlb.gov.sg/" class="external text" id="mwCE8">all public libraries</a> offer cheap Internet access ($0.03/min or $1.80/hr), but you need to jump through registration hoops to get access. Internet censorship is generally restricted to pornography, gambling and copyright violating websites. In addition, Singapore has laws that ban online contents deemed as fake news and foreign interference by authority. From time to time, you may see mandatory corrective notices placed on social media posts or articles deemed as containing falsehoods by authorities if accessed from within Singapore. Operators that repeatedly refuse to place corrective notices may be blocked from within Singapore. </section><section data-mw-section-id="100" id="mwCFI"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwC2U"><h3 id="By_mail">By mail</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=100" title="Edit section: By mail" id="mwC2g">edit</a>]</div> <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://www.singpost.com/" class="external text" id="mwCFU">SingPost</a> has offices throughout the island, generally open M-F 8:30AM-5PM, 08:30-13;00 Sa 8:30AM-5PM, closed Sundays.

hair salons charging from $20 up for the latest Chinese popstar look. If you are willing to splurge, there is Passion Hair Salon at Palais Renaissance with celebrity hairstylist David Gan (hairstylist of Zhang Ziyi and other famous celebrities) doing the haircut. Le Salon at Ngee Ann City offers haircuts up to $2,000. The middle range hair salons in town or in the heartlands, offer haircuts with hair wash as well as other frills. Chains include Reds Hairdressing, Supercuts, Toni & Guy salons that are all over Singapore. For a more backpacker-friendly price, almost every shopping mall in Singapore has a branch of <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.ec-house.com.sg/" class="external text" id="mwCGo">EC House</a> or one of its many imitators, offering fuss-free 10 min haircuts for $15, although the hairdressers are mostly happy to spend as long as necessary on your hair, within reasonable limits. Most HDB estates have barbershops which charge $5 to $10 for adults and less for students and children. </section><section data-mw-section-id="105" id="mwCGs"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwC4M"><h3 id="Laundry">Laundry</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=105" title="Edit section: Laundry" id="mwC4Y">edit</a>]</div> Hotels often provide a one-day laundry service (at a price), whereas hostels often have communal self-service washing machines.

Facilities are somewhat sparse but the prices are unbeatable, with e.g. swimming pools charging $1 for entry and access to ClubFITT gyms only $2.50. The main downside is the inconvenient location of most facilities out in the suburbs, although most are close to an MRT station and can be reached within 10-20 min from downtown. The gyms also have a total ban on bringing in any reading material (aimed at students but enforced blindly).

Some of the <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="http://www.nparks.gov.sg/" class="external text" id="mwCIY">parks</a> offer rental of bicycles and inline skates ($3–6/hr, open until 8PM).

The ultraviolet index (UVI) is usually very high in the afternoon when it is sunny. Please see <a rel="mw:ExtLink nofollow" href="https://www.nea.gov.sg/weather/ultraviolet-index" class="external text" id="mwCLQ">NEA's website on ultraviolet index</a> for more information.</li> <li id="mwCLU">Shorts/Half Pants - Singapore can get real warm. Although air-conditioning is available in all public transports and almost all internal areas, it is advisable to carry some light clothing. Some places of worship may require visitors to dress conservatively.</li> <li id="mwCLc">Cotton or dri-fit shirts - Wear comfortable shirts that can let the air flow through.</li> <li id="mwCLk">Slippers - Singaporeans love to wear slippers (called "flip-flops" in the United States, "thongs" in Australia or "jandals" in New Zealand). Be sure to carry a pair, just to blend in. Try sandals if you're not used to flip flops, but beware that in some formal establishments (e.g. the theatre, concert hall, and recital studio at the Esplanade), no flip flops, sandals, or shorts are allowed.</li> <li id="mwCLs">Sweater - In cinemas, shopping malls, and museums, air conditioning can be relatively colder than expected, though this is likely to be a welcome relief from the heat.</li></ul> </section></section><section data-mw-section-id="111" id="mwCL0"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2" id="mwC6c"><h2 id="Go_next">Go next</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Singapore&action=edit&section=111" title="Edit section: Go next" id="mwC6o">edit</a>]</div> Singapore makes a good base for exploring <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Southeast_Asia" title="Southeast Asia" id="mwCL8">South-East Asia</a>, with nearly all of the region's countries and their main tourist destinations — including <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Bangkok" title="Bangkok" id="mwCME">Bangkok</a>, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Phuket" title="Phuket" id="mwCMI">Phuket</a>, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Angkor_Wat" title="Angkor Wat" class="mw-redirect" id="mwCMM">Angkor Wat</a>, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Ho_Chi_Minh_City" title="Ho Chi Minh City" id="mwCMQ">Ho Chi Minh City</a> and <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Bali" title="Bali" id="mwCMU">Bali</a> — under 2 hr away by plane.
