At SIN, you will also have access to SQ Silver Kris lounge when in premium cabin on most other *A partners. It is not restricted to SQ premium pax only.

SQ has many flights around midnight (e.g. to Europe and Australia) and it makes sense to offer a decent dining option at the SKL for premium pax who wish to sleep right after take off.

Anyway, I'm more in favour of the "SQ model" than the LH/LX lounge access rules. I fail to see why (frequent) travelers on dirt cheap Eco tickets should have access to better lounges than premium pax who one way or the other paid for premium product/service. Just me two cents...
