As a rule, buying at the last transiting airport is fine, since there are no liquid checks at the destination anymore. For the specific case of SIN, Kiwi Flyer appears to be incorrect, as transiting with duty-free is generally allowed:
Q8.If I am transferring or transiting at Changi Airport, will my liquids, aerosols and gels items purchased at other airports be accepted at Changi Airport? Will I be allowed to bring these items onboard my flight?
Passengers (*except those travelling to Australia, the US or on Northwest Airlines or United Airlines) will be allowed to bring liquids, aerosols and gels items in containers larger than 100ml onboard their flight if these items are placed in sealed tamper-evident bags with the receipt clearly displayed in the sealed bag. The receipt must show the date of purchase, item(s) purchased, name of the shop and the name of the airport.
