I want to stopover LHR, SIN and one or 2 in Asia (havent decided where yet). Prefer SQ where practical.

Does this look okay? Can you please suggest improvements? Would I save much by starting and finishing in say BKK?

TIA
AFAIK you're only allowed one stop-over (>24hrs) in any one city. You'll pass through the same city three times, which should be fine as long as you don't stop. If you do want to stop, then one way around this, I have been informed, is to book the last flights as 'open' (i.e. not put in a date) and then change them later. Apparently no one checks this. However, this is not based on personal experience so I can't vouch for that.
