Some budget carriers can turn around 737's very quickly, but not 777's and certainly not to send the plane away 5 mins before it arrives .......

If SQ 238 was operated by A388 (like it is at the moment) I would be more convinced.
Now that you have pointed that out, it seems kind of odd that the turn around times for SQ237/238 is like that. The only logical explanation is for SQ to alter the timings, or indeed add a 4th daily flight. The A380's were on SQ227/228 before and the timings for the other flights weren't affected, this was the original A388 schedule before the change to SQ238.

This is quite interesting!
