Singapore

Q: In what language are the data and documentation provided?

The dataset is provided in English, which is the primary working language of Singapore.
Note: Street and building names are standard English (e.g., "BEDOK TERRACE", "ONE PEARL BANK").

Q: What is the format of the postal code?

Singapore uses a 6-digit numeric postal code (e.g., 469245, 218106).
Precision Level: This system is highly granular. A single postal code usually corresponds to a single building or a specific block of high-rise housing. It does not represent a broad geographic region.

Q: Why do many records show "NIL" in the 'building' column?

You will frequently see the value NIL in the building column (e.g., for "278 SERANGOON ROAD").
Meaning: This indicates that the address refers to a landed property (such as a private terrace house or semi-detached house) or a location that does not have a specific commercial building name. In these cases, the address is defined solely by the blk_no (Block/House Number) and road_name.

Q: Why are there no "City" or "State" columns?

Singapore is a sovereign city-state. There are no state or provincial divisions like in other countries. The postal code applies to the entire country, so fields for "City" or "State" are unnecessary and omitted.

Q: What is the 'blk_no' column?

The blk_no (Block Number) is a fundamental part of a Singaporean address. It identifies the specific building number on a street.
Example: In "86 BEDOK TERRACE", "86" is the 'blk_no'.
Note: For HDB (public housing) estates, this number is critical as many identical blocks may share the same road name but have different block numbers and postal codes.
