Marriott.com website states:

Please Note – The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore currently does not participate in the Ritz-Carlton Rewards program

Since it does not (also) state ".... does not participate in the Marriott Rewards program..." it is both false and misleading!

They, too, were confused. According to the rep I spoke with, there was no reason for this. He suggested I contact the hotel via email, and i got this response:

Greetings from The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore..

Thank you for the email. Please note that at the moment, The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore is not participating in any rewards programmes including the Marriott Rewards. You can still made a booking, however, the Marriott rewards benefits will not be accorded.

I am pleased to inform you that rooms are still available for 22-24 August 2012. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any other assistance..
.
Yours Sincerely

Can a RC really chose to not honor its corporate reward system at will?

Thanks for any insight/advice,
