I found this video on YouTube. The demonstrator presented this Singapore Integrated 13 Style Tai Chi for Fitness 新加坡综合健身太极拳十三式 beautifully, and this video also shows the steps (in chinese subtitle). When I read this video information, the demonstrator is Daniel Tan, a Tai Chi master himself.
This routine was composed by the Singapore Wushu Dragon and Lion Dance Federation 新加坡武术总会, integrating the forms abstracted from Chen style陈式, Yang Style杨式, Wu style吴氏, Wu style 武式, and Sun style 孙式. The routine was introduced to all the instructors in Singapore that it was easy to learn because there were less forms to memorize, smooth, fluent, and it took shorter duration of only less than 3 minutes to perform. I've translated the various forms as follow:
Form 1 - Commencing {Wu Style}起势 (武式)
Form 2 - Left Brush Knee and Twist Step {Yang Style} 左搂膝拗步(杨式)
Form 3 - Strum the Lute {Yang Style} 手揮琵琶(杨式)
Form 4 - Forward Parry and Punch {Sun Style} 進步搬拦捶(孫式)
Form 5 - Apparent Close Up {Sun Style} 如封似闭(孫式)
Form 6 - Open and Close Hand {Sun Style} 开合手(孫式)
Form 7 - Flying Obliquely {Yang Style} 钭飞势 (杨式)
Form 8 - Hide Hand and Strike Fist {Chen Style} 掩手肱捶 (陈式)
Form 9 - Leisurely tie coat on both sides {Wu Style} 右左懒扎衣(武式)
Form 10 - Needle at the bottom {Wu Style} 按式(武式)
Form 11 - Flash Arm {Chen Style} 闪通背(陈式)
Form 12 - Work at shuttles on both sides {Wu Style}右左玉女穿梭(吳式)
Form 13 - Closing {Wu Style} 收势(吳式)
