Annandale's or Singapore Rat inhabits secondary forest including abandoned rural scrub, and former rubber or coconut palm plantations. It seldom occurs in true primary forest.

At night this rat can be found foraging amongst fallen branches, low scrub and lowermost tree limbs.

Its dorsal fur is greyish-brown, and the underside is generally pale yellow but sometimes white : demarcation between its  dorsal and ventral fur is quite sharp. The tail is long and nearly naked, and the eye medium in size.

Annandale's Rat is found in in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and parts of Sumatra.
