i am thinking to buy a server in Singapore for my friends in Melbourne Australia. How will the ping
be thanks!
WebSound put it well. If you can not get access to a test IP you still should be pretty good because I am pretty sure there is a direct connection between those two countries.
Even if there is a direct connection it does not necessarily matter, as WebSound pointed out that route may be congested or the traffic might take an alternative route because the host's network or the client's network is not peering with that direct route.

Many Australian gaming communities choose to use locations such as Singapore and Hong Kong to get lower hosting costs while still maintaining a good level of connectivity. At the end of the day, it depends on the data center on the host side and the ISP on the user side and whether or not they play nice together in terms of routing, shared peers, or direct peering.
Just about every major carrier on the planet is congested at some point on their network. In the modern hosting industry, data centers should be using intelligent routing solutions (BGP4, InterNAP FCP, Noction IRP, etc.) to negate problems that arise with congestion. BGP4 is the standard for basic semi-intelligent routing, while higher-end providers will invest in the more intelligent solutions that companies like InterNAP and Noction provide.
