The benefit of Krisflyer is that it allows you to redeem for SQ J and F, which with a few exceptions other programs don't really do.
There is a benefit to have status with the airline you use the most, typically mileage bonus for elites and the occasional upgrade.
What is SQ's earning on economy class flights? It is 125 in J and 150 in F, I would expect most economy to be 70 or less for the setup to make sense. Or not to be too easy to reach 50K for gold.
