"Singapore
The age of consent in Singapore is 16 for all opposite-sex activity and only female same-sex sexual activity: Section 140: (1) Any person who – (...) (i) has carnal connection with any girl below the age of 16 years except by way of marriage (...) – shall be guilty of an offence.[59]
Under section 377A (outrages on decency) in the Penal Code states that; Any male person who, in public or private, commits, or abets the commission of, or procures or attempts to procure the commission by any male person of, any act of gross indecency with another male person, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 2 years. This means that all male same-sex sexual activity (including mutual masturbation, oral and/or anal sex) is still illegal and the punishment is up to two (2) years jail, based on the Offences Against The Person Act 1861."

Actually Bro williamsF1 (no offense, just to clarify), the first part of first sentence already read: "The age of consent in Singapore is
16..." This already state that sex with a girl age 16 & above is legal.
Section 140 applies to having carnal connection (sexual relationship) with a girl below 16. Now for this case it is illegal
except when the girl is already married to whoever she is having the relationship with. Section 140 (in this day & age) is mainly used to cover Muslim Marriages because under Syariah Law, a man may marry the girl once she reaches puberty; in Singapore the man must apply special marriage licence from the relevant Muslim council but it can be approved, so a provision must be provided in the law to cover this kind of marriage.
