Actually there is TONS of forest in Singapore, it is literally a city in a garden.

Plenty of forest, but relatively little forest away from well marked trails, urban developments and authorities that don't think people should be living in forests.
Indeed. “Urban forest” is probably the best descriptor.

To give you a sense - Golden Gate Park in SF is 5km wide (East to West) which is 10% of the width of the entire island of Singapore.

Go look at Singapore on Google maps. There doesn't seem to be much, and all of it has marked trails. Are you sure there's "tons"? I admit I thought it had much more.
