There are of course options to get between HKG and SIN using avios with CX and MH.

To be honest I'm not that disappointed as it will be my first first experience having flown Club lots.
Karfa is correct as usual. While you can book an open jaw return booking (including using a 241), you cannot change a return booking (including a 241) to a different zone.
See this thread involving the same city pairs and someone trying to do the same thing:
