Several units of measurement were historically used in Singapore to measure length, mass, and volume. During 1968–1970, the metric system was adopted in Singapore.[1] The metric system is used for most official purposes and only metric measures are permitted for trade.[2] Despite these restrictions, fabric is still commonly sold by the square yard.
