How do I meet people in Singapore?

When we asked people living in Singapore about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:

"Expats in Singapore often join clubs and activities such as sports teams, language classes, and cultural events. Expats can also meet people through networking events, online forums, and social media groups. Additionally, many expats find it helpful to join local churches, volunteer organizations, and professional associations. These activities provide a great way to meet people and build relationships with other expats and locals," explained one expat living in Singapore.

"Singapore Hash House Harriers, Any of the rugby clubs (Singapore Cricket Club, Bucks, etc)," said one person in Singapore.
