PPS credit is only earned through first and business class travel on SQ metal. Simplistically, you need to be spending SGD25k per year on premium cabin travel. You're right in suggesting this can take time depending on the fares you're buying.
However, there's no downside to the double dip. If you bank miles to TG (or any *A scheme) you can also claim PPS credit as well. If you reach PPS, great. If not then no harm done.
