Personally, I would leave it and book another one with the times/dates you want, then cancel the one you don't want when the deal is gone.

One way to get around the flight timing issue is to use a different routing. If you want to overnight in CDG then you either need to arrive later or leave earlier. To arrive later add in a connection on the way to CDG. If that is a pain, simply add in a small hop from CDG to another euro gateway in the morning and take a HKG flight from there.

It should not be difficult for a travel agent to book CDG-SIN-DPS-SIN-CDG on SQ.

Yes, except a human agent may balk at issuing ticket at that price for fear of getting ADM.

It's easier as you can choose your legs on KE, CX, MH or SQ.
SQ is more expensive that others.. comes around 2180$. Didn't get my ticket number yet though.

Can you check your itinerary on singaporeair.com and confirm that the SQ segments are actually booked in business?

What is your routing and dates? I cannot get anything on my dates with SQ and DL(Thanksgiving 09), even using the multi-city tool.
