The Singapore Lands Agency will provide digitised mapping information, but this is sold and not under an open licence. In addition the SLA make available a mapping API (One Map) similar to Google Maps, but the terms make clear that the mapping information within the API cannot be used elsewhere (see https://www.onemap.sg/home/TermsOfUse.html section 3(b)(i) "you shall not: store, download, archive, print, distribute, reproduce, copy, modify, edit, transmit, upload in any medium or incorporate into any other materials, any of the Site or the Material; or" 2015 -

Reviewer comments

I changed "publicly available" to "no" because it is only available to business applying for the data, I changed "machine readable" to "yes" since they are selling the data it makes sense that it would be usefull, I changed "available online" to "no" because it is not, the only thing available online to the publis is a map viewer where they can save picture files but not get the actual data. Data after payment is available in bulk and is timely, according to the government feedback to us.
