Why publish the award chart when awards can't even be booked? It'll just confuse a lot of people. In any case, don't expect much from SQ awards. Even if they have reasonable rates for US-Asia, only Y awards will be possible.
You certain they won't allow Y+? AS, unlike UA and most *A airlines, allows Y+ redemptions on partners. Might be willing to spring for LAX-SIN-NRT on SQ with NRT stopover if AS allows it at reasonable cost in miles; a daytime flight in SQ Y+ for 10 hours seems OK (the marginal value over J isn't great for daytime flights- the same might be true for FRA-JFK as a daytime flight). I doubt there would be J or F, but Y+ doesn't seem ridiculous.
