The plug used in Singapore.
Outlets are identical across the entire island - there are no regional variations. Changi Airport terminals 1–4 all have free USB and Type G charging stations near every gate. Sentosa Island resorts, Marina Bay hotels, and Little India hostels all use the same Type G standard. One quirk: some older HDB flats may have two-pin round outlets (Type C) in bathrooms for shavers, but these are rare and being phased out. Hawker centers and food courts generally do NOT have accessible public outlets.
