  Hi, I wish to start learning and practising meditation, so I thought that buddhist forum might be the right place to seek advice. Does anyone know any temple or somewhere I can enroll myself.

  Looks like the easiest would be for you to attend a class at Guang Ming Shan in Bishan. 

  You can keep checking this space  http://kmspks.org/courses/meditation for upcoming classes.  By next year (it's already year-end now), there should be new ones starting up.

  They also have group practice every Wednesday evening.  http://kmspks.org/featured/group-practice-2

   

  If you also wanted to read some books to get you started on meditation, here are a few you can explore.  They can be borrowed from the public libraries.

  The Miracle of Mindfulness: An Introduction to the Practice of Meditation by Thich Nhat Hanh

  Mindfulness In Plain English - Urban Dharma  (PDF version you can download)

  Thanks for the resources, I think it's what I'm look for too.
