Probably just bioluminescent fungi – nothing too supernatural, though they do add to the spooky atmosphere. Unless you've got pictures, it's hard to say for sure, but the general vibe you're describing is pretty common for older parts of the island. You'd be surprised what you find tucked away if you explore a bit!

I've never noticed that nightly gathering myself, but older folks in Singapore often play games like Xiangqi (Chinese chess) or maybe even a variation of Mahjong in public parks. It could just be a casual, regular get-together for some friendly competition and socializing. Perhaps you should've just asked! They probably would've been happy to explain. Next time, maybe bring some snacks to share – a good way to break the ice.
