I think the generally accepted one is 103E 48" and 1N 18".

For GOTO scopes u don't have to be too precise since a 2-star align will correct for small errors. My autostar happily uses the Sg lat long in mersing without any problems

If you want really exact numbers down to the nth decimal of an arcsec, download and run Google Earth:
http://earth.google.com/
You can read off different numbers for each parking lot...
It now has overlays for street names in Singapore too. Plus it's free!
