General-Information-Of-Schools Microsoft Excel Comma Separated Values File https://data.gov.sg/dataset/school-directory-and-information List of schools in Singapore ranging from Primary to Tertiary level
Lta-Mrt-Station-Exit KML File https://data.gov.sg/dataset/lta-mrt-station-exit Point location of existing MRT exits in Singapore
Malaysia-Singapore-Brunei-Latest-Free ESRI Shapefile https://download.geofabrik.de/asia/ OpenStreetMap data of Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei

Additional Steps

1. General Information of Schools

As the data provided does not have coordinates, we used MMQGIS plugin “Geocode CSV with Web Service” to get geospatial mapping of the schools

2. Malaysia-Singapore-Brunei-Latest-Free

Only two shapefiles would be used: “gis_osm_transport_a_free_1” and “gis_osm_roads_free_1”.

As the layers includes Malaysia and Brunei, the two layers are clipped to be within Singapore MP14 boundary.
