Hi all,

Plenty, can i ask if you want to take it in the Chinese tradition or Theravadin tradition(s)?
In addition, you can check this website for activities by temples and groups in Singapore:

Actually all temples in fact any place that has sangha/monk, can let you take precepts. It is normally given together in the refuge taking ceremony.
When you go into the temple, just request to have a chat with the monk, then you can request for precepts if you want.

There will ba a Refuge & 5 Precepts Ceremony in Amitabha Buddhist Centre on 18th Jan ( Sun ) 7.30pm. Call to check if registration is required. The master will be Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
You have the option of taking all 5 or some selected precepts which you desired , based on what you feel you can observe in your daily lives. On a more "technical" side , the karma would be heavier for those who have gone through such or other number of precepts. However , there are also ways to "regenerate" the vows.
Do a little research on any master before going such ceremony. The master who hold the precept ceremony for you will be your lifelong teacher if i am not wrong.
Check & check again , i could be wrong . :)
Correct me if i am wrong people.
