ok, so 2 people - one of which would have just departed on SQ to SYD in early AM, and the other, you, who was given the option of SQ, but CHOSE not to take it because of timing issues.

UA's own 4 pax connecting from TPAC flights that would have had to be put up overnight to catch next flight to SIN next day.


If it was me - after 30-40 minutes, I would have asked to be offloaded in HKG - and dealt with the UA gate agent there, and skipped SIN altogether knowing I'll miss a 1am connection. There are late night/early AM flights from HKG to LHR/FRA that would have still connected with the original LHR-USA
