Either Kaki Bukit industrial area if you preferred quiet surrounding. 

Or find a multi story carpark near you, go to the top floor and make sure no cars is parked in the area before you start practicing U-turn or tight turning. 

 

I found this place. you see if it's near you? 116A Bedok North Rd, Singapore 461116

Remember to get any biker friends along if possible, take note the tips is, "look where you want to go and your instincts will take over and bring you and your bike over". 

 

Long long time ago, I almost fall off the "hill", but i suddenly remembered one instructor say the above to me, and I somehow managed to do a 90 degree turn at 45 degree slope. My friends at the back was thinking I would go down the hill as well.. LOL.. I think I'm less then 1 meter away from the edge of the road and if I go straight, I'll be down at a small hill but 100% injured badly. So that statement has been in my mind for years. (Look where you want to go) - be it corner or U-turn or anything, it helps.

- when you are doing the u-turn, look where you want to go; don't look down on the ground or other places, just look at where you want to go, somehow, your body will just go that direction
- if you need to stop and wait to u-turn, and you are first vehicle, stop a little behind the u-turn, so that you have some distance to pick up speed and let out the clutch completely before turning into the u-turn
- with some bikes, with clutch fully engaged, even without any throttle, the bike can negotiate the u-turn without problem; it is easier in this case, you just have to let out the clutch completely and ride out the u-turn
- some bikes, with clutch fully engaged, without any throttle input, the engine feels like stalling ... so you will have to finesse the throttle (some times both the throttle and the clutch, or hold the throttle and control the speed with your rear brakes) when you u-turn; see which case is yours and which mode of controls you handle best with ....
- grip the tank firmly with your thighs so that you and the bike are one mass and you can feel the vehicle, don't dangle your lower body loosely (at least not when you are new)

hopefully of some help to you

good luck !
