Thank you all, I was able to call and get a rep that could assist me with waitlisting both seats with 0 miles in my Kris account, even received an email confirmation within minutes of calling.

The manager called the SQ SIN office to confirm the additional mileage and change fee, and I got my ticket sorted out in about 10-15mins.

I am very confused by this, I thought that with SQ's new rules, waitlisted seats have to clear within two weeks of flight or they are canceled. Although when I tried to confirm this while on the phone reserving waitlisted flights, the rep told me they could not provide authenticate anything
