There would probably be enough pax to make it worthwhile and SQ can provide codeshare to other parts of Asia.
I love it. Because if any airline should fly an ultra long haul route out of a secondary USA market when historically much larger markets have failed (LAX/NYC-BKK/SIN), it should totally be an airline with zero long haul experience that would totally have to staff up and add a new equipment type for it. Because there is no history of airlines making huge mistakes like that.

I'm sure the vast market of people wanting to fly BOI-SIN will make it work...

I am thinking ANC/SEA/PDX/FAI/SAN/SLC/FCA/HNL-SIN to maximize geographic coverage. With A380s doing fifth freedom routes to NRT/KIX/PEK/YEG/MEX/LIR...
