My best advice would be to find the schools in your area, and go observe them. I would base your decision more on the school and the instructor than which art. Any of the arts can be really effective and beneficial with a good instructor. Many schools will offer you a free trial class, too...that way you can really get a feel for the instructor's style and the content of the class. Good luck!

It really doesn't matter what martial art you take up, all will teach you something valuable and any true art will be able to work with you no matter what your physical stature or limitations.
The most important thing is not the style/discipline, it's finding an instructor/s you trust, a group of students you actually look forward to training with, and a program that fits within your financial and schedule limitations.
Check out the schools in the area you’re are in - irrespective of the style. Talk with the instructor/s and students. Observe a few classes and talk with the students. Take some time and I’m sure you'll instinctively know which one is right for you. That will be the one where you like the instructor, like the students, and can’t wait to start attending.
You will spend a lot of time with the instructor and students you choose now, so getting that right is much more important than finding a school that teaches a discipline someone on this forum has suggested to you. Everyone is drawn to different disciplines for a variety of reasons and no-one but you can determine what those factors are. Thus, you have to do some leg work by checking out the schools in your area and finding the instructor whom you want to become your mentor and guide, at least at the beginning of your journey.
Good Luck

You are in a place where martial arts abounds. You don't need our advice.
I would go to all the Chinese Martial Art Schools and see which one I like best. Just go visit.

I always thought people in Singapore were too well-behaved and law-abiding to ever get into a fight! Don't they cane you just for spitting out gum on the sidewalk? I'd hate to think what the punishment is for assault!
