Hi again grgbec-ga, The highest point in Singapore -- rather a hill than a mountain -- is Bukit Timah 166 meters (about 545 feet), according to the CIA - The World Factbook (https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/sn.html ) Search strategy: singapore "highest point" factbook Regards, Guillermo |

Interesting indeed. It is the Overseas Union Bank Centre, a 63 stories, 280 m / 919 ft building (http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001338.html ). Thus, curiously, Singapore's man-made highest point almost doubles its natural highest point. |

The Singaporean Alps are all man-made and provided with high-speed elevators. Nonetheless, mountaineering is a popular sport on the island: http://home1.pacific.net.sg/~yipsh/ http://smf_nsa.tripod.com/aboutus.html |
