Is there a solution to fix this?

It's actually a bit dependent on where you live in Singapore. I've been in places where it was terrible - low rise homes next to treees and parks and the ocean are the worse.
I not lawyer/teacher/CPA.
You've been arrested? Law Society of Singapore can provide referrals.
You want an International School job? School website or

You need Tax advice? Ask a CPA
You ran away without doing NS? Shame on you!

Yes, I think the trees around my place is rather dense and causing the humidity. Oceans too? And houses near oceans, metal furniture (that are not stainless steel) do rust?

The movement of air helps, i.e. fans. Not always practical for wardrobes and i'm sure more effective in some places than others.

I think fans are one thing, but an actual draft from outside tends to really make the difference. Closed areas have a tendency to load up on humidity, unless the a/c is running of course. We're constantly exhaling water vapour, which adds up if it can't go anywhere.
Also, yes, Singapore's interior (Bukit Timah etc) seems to be a more humid area, especially at night, undoubtedly, due to the jungle. The coast is better, likely because there are fewer trees and also because it's breezier. I live(d) in both areas and can tell the difference in humidity.

That's good to hear cos I was considering move closer to the coast (lol)...and was quite worried about the humidity level as well.
