As you say it has now been fixed. The Milelion, which is a Singapore based miles "expert" has said it was because the new schedules had not been uploaded at the time you were originally looking.

The next part is pure speculation on my part and with respect to SilkAir.
1 SilkAir is due to start converting to SIA flights in 2020 and maybe there is some back end legacy IT issues that means they are having problems integrating the two.
2 With a significant order book for 787 Max 8s, and not being able to fly them for the next few months, I wonder if SQ management are scratching their heads as to how to deal with SilkAir's transition to SQ. They know they will have to wait for the new planes even if they were to allowed to fly them tomorrow. But with United and American not flying until July/August it seems unlikely SilkAir will fly theirs until then either, at the earliest.
