Hi,
Welcome to Singapore. The 2 dwarf galaxies are still a challenge in Singapore but the Southern Cross would be an easy naked eye object. Don't forget to check out Omega Centauri and the Jewel Box too. These ones are easy to see anywhere as long as you are in an open space and more importantly, no clouds for which there is alot in Singapore!
Do drop by the Science Centre on Friday nights as they do an regular observation session there at their Observatory and you can also talk to Albert, the owner of the astronomy shop there too, who also happens to be the President of the Astronomical Society of Singapore.
You can also check out here for latest sessions

Hi Holger
Welcome!
There are several parks along the southern edge of Singapore which are accessible by public transport and generally safe. Examples are Marina South, East Coast Park, West Coast Park, Sentosa southern beaches, Labrador Park etc. We can discuss further of you need more details.

Yes, Sentosa would be a nice location with three public beaches. Of these three, maybe try Tanjong Beach which is furthest south and furthest away from lights. Sunset is usually around 7.10pm
