SIN transit - bags not properly tagged, any advice?

So I'm coming in to SIN this evening on TG from BKK, and staying overnight (transit hotel) before taking the SIN-HKG-SFO flight (in C) tomorrow. A pretty routine situation, except that when I checked in in MAA last night, they were unable to tag my bag all the way through to SFO (because they couldn't put in 4 destinations [BKK/SIN/HKG/SFO] for the bag tags). After going through several layers of management in MAA, the TG staff determined that they would check my bag only until SIN, but would send a note to BKK and SIN to have them retagged.

Arrived in BKK, and needless to say, there had been no note sent, and the BKK transfer desk staff told me that this was not TG's problem and UA had to figure it out in SIN.

So my bag is going to show up at baggage claim in SIN while I wait in transit to connect the next morning. Does anyone have any experience with this situation or any advice on how to ensure that my bag accompanies me on SIN-HKG-SFO on Tuesday? I'm having visions of never seeing my bag again because the police see it abandoned on the conveyer belt or some such!

thanks in advance!
