After 7/1/2009,
SIN-SYD-SIN = 7824 miles according to JAL's sector calculator (https://www121.jal.co.jp/JmbWeb/JR/SectionMile_en.do)

So, it falls into the 4001-8000 sector, i.e. 65000 miles for business class

I stand corrected. SIN-SYD-SIN is indeed below 8000 miles. Just a 20% increase - still too much :-)
