I have a knee condition which means I can't run for more than 5 minutes. I can cycle though!
BTW I'm already in Singapore! Arrived 2 days ago, so still trying to get my head around things. It's hot and humid, but I like it!
I'm busy flat hunting now but as soon as I'm sorted I'll get active again!
Right now I'm in the Orchard area and it's so hectic! I feel alienated by the sheer amount of shoppers roaming the streets and the endless array of shopping malls. I'm definitely not staying in this area
How about swimming, that's 'low impact', and good all around exercise.
Hot and humid - yeah and it'll be like that 'every day you're here'. Actually thats not quite true as after say a year you will start feeling cold when it gets down to say '''only''' 25 at night in '''winter'''.
You will acclimatise and learn to adapt to the heat. This is going to sound weird I know, but trust me it works. Your journey home each night is likely to be crowded, hot, stuffy, and you hurrying along too. When you get home the moment you stop moving you will break into a huge clothes-soaking sweat (esp during monsoon when the humidity is off the scale).
Solution? Get naked ASAP!
Yes, that's right
The minute you get through your door get down to your jocks. That will stop you continuing to heat up, and help stop sweat from damaging your clothing.
Then once you feel you've reverted to a reasonable temperature (also try standing in front of a floor-standing fan non full speed for 5 minutes), then have a 2 minute no-soap cold shower before chucking on shorts and a t-shirt.

Does anyone else have a routine to avoid the post front-door onslaught of sweat?
