I've tried Singtel's SGD$30 "hi!tourist" SIM card that's valid for 10 
days. 
(https://www.singtel.com/personal/i/phones-plans/mobile/prepaid/hitouristsimcards). 
I've used all three operators (Singtel, M1 and Starhub) and I've been 
fairly happy with Singtel's LTE coverage.

When you get the SIM card, they also give you a free EZ-Link card with 
SGD$3 preloaded, that's used in buses and the MRT (metro) trains in 
Singapore. If you otherwise get an EZ-Link card from the MRT station 
control you'd have to pay a small deposit fee, I think.

A word of warning when buying prepaid SIM cards in Singapore: Many of 
the numbers are recycled, so I've encountered lots of incoming calls 
from unknown numbers (even from India and Bangladesh) as well as 
marketing ads. This is one reason why I generally use a spare phone, 
keep it on silent and just use the phone as a mobile hotspot for the 
duration of my stay.

Also you'd need some form of identification when you purchase a prepaid 
card (such as a passport).

Regards,
Bill
