:) :)/ that was funny. I am not really planning on eating a big Mac , I am just trying to compare the prices of stuff in Singapore to Taiwan and Saouth Africa. whether they are cheaper or more expensive.

a big mac meal is about S$6 and the burger is S$3+. the flagdown charge for taxis is S$2.50 with surcharges during peak hours, public holidays and midnight and S$0.10 every 210m thereafter and every 25secs wait. i'm thinking a 30min trip should cost about S$20+.
how much money u should take really depends on what u want to do and how u want to spend. being a food paradise i really suggest u don't waste the little precious time u have here on a big mac but try some local dishes. they can be found everywhere in food courts and hawker centers, has a great variety for u to choose from and is very cheap. i suggest chicken rice or roti prata if u've never tasted them before. nobody i know doesn't like them.
if u are in transit, i suggest u join the free city tour that takes u around the island. just go to the visitors center in the airport and they will have more information for u. for 10hrs, city tours are your best bet. if not it's best to just wander around the financial and shopping district. take a train down to cityhall and explore your way around. if u're not planning to do any major shopping or splurge in restaurants, i'd say S$50 per person is more than enough for half a day.

As a rough guide, the big mac is around usd 2.50 and the 1/2 hour taxi fare would be around usd20
what to do within 10 hours? well, you could do some of the tourist spots:
- the zoo
- birdpark
- nite safari
- chinatown / little india / geylang serai (Malay Village)
- East Coast Park (avoid during wet season)
- Sentosa Island
- Museum
- Shopping at Orchard / Suntec / VivoCity
- Funan Centre (or Sim Lim Square) for IT and electronic gadgets
- Hawker Centres / food court to try the local food

But give yourself ample time to return to the airport, singapore taxi's are infamous of the "Not-for-Hire" during peak hours.

a big mac is $3.80. a big mac meal is $6.10. half an hour taxi trip is around $28. you can see lots of things in 10 hours. you can go to zoo if you like animals, do some shopping in orchard road, bugis or vivocity. or go to sentosa our one and only man made island.
Total money you should take should be around $40 onwards if you just get a big mac and taxi ride, if you want to do other activities just bring $100 to be safe, hope you enjoy your trip, cheers

standard flights out of KL global Airport (Sepang) to Singapore (Changi) Airport are quite low-cost. you are able to purchase the tickets on the airport for the standard go back and forth (i imagine there is one each and every a million hour or extra regular) and may fee about RM150 -2 hundred each and each and every way (US 40-fifty 5). both Malaysian airways (MAS) and Singapore airways (SIA) ought to have go back and forth flights. Tiger Air does no longer do the shape, nor does the different lower price airways. decision will be to take a coach from KL city centre, yet taxi from KLIA to KL centre prices about US 20 besides!
