The Rotor.

Spin the wheel and identify which is the part that needs to be straightened. Use an adjustable spanner, clip the part that you identify is bent, and then bend it back to "straighten" it...

Wah, so "manual"? I scare I crack the rotor/overbend that spot...

...Don't squeeze the brake levers to stop the wheel, but hold the tyres instead...

May I know the reason for this?

google tampines jungle trail, the bike park is gone, maybe the jungle trail still exist

30mins of cycling = 3hrs of washing

edit: if u not scared of dirty, can try tampines quarry

If there's oil on the adjustable wrench or your fingers (which is a sure thing), you'll transfer it to the rotor. If you squeeze the brakes, you'll transfer the oil to your pads. If it's bad, you will spoil the pads and might have to change new pads also.

The rotors can take a bit of bending. Not drastic, just bit by bit slowly until it straightens out.

in terms of absolute cheapness, CRC wins on a sale day though there are some stuff cheaper on bike24.

5mm Allen Key, loosen the two side bolts on the stem, tighten the top cap until there's no play, then tighten the 2 side bolts on the stem. Make sure your wheels are straight.
