Billy has a good point - it looks bad. However, lacking access to the
server, I cannot set up a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_redirection
and I do not think DNS will handle what we want to do, which is redirect
to http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SingaporeTeam from http://ubuntu.sg.
Without going into details, the cleanest option is a new hosting
account. That's not the least expensive option, so I am considering
other possibilities.
