Last night, I was at East Coast near the end of the cycling track (where the 2 piers are). It was rather clear at the southern region and I could easily see the Milky Way that passes between Sagittarius and Scorpius. It was an obvious band and I could see different shades to it. The stars in Sagittarius, Scorpius, Centaurus, Lupus were all seen easily.
This is the first time I ever saw the Milky Way so clearly in Singapore.
How about you guys? Have you ever seen the Milky Way as a clear band in Singapore?

Milky Way in Singapore

All my very old film milky way pictures are taken at Area G and area near Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal. These 2 places can see milky way quite well.

So looks like the best place to see Milky Way is at Changi/ East Coast area...
It is good for viewing the East and South because of less light pollution. Towards the East because it is facing Desaru (not too much light pollution), and facing the south are Indonesian islands.
My best view of Singapore sky was near Changi Naval Base during December few years back. It was really very clear for Singapore standard.
