You might have missed the memo. Singapore is opening up for only business travellers, but not in the way you think it will. They can only enter with no quarantine if they intend to do business in a facility/hotel where they will be effectively sheltered away from the local population, and will be shuttled in special vehicles to and fro the airport. If OP expects to use the lounges on such a scheme - dream on. Even people on stopover in SQ flights now are kept separately at a separate part of SIN for the entirety of their layover, obviously without lounge access. If OP intends to enter Singapore for just 7 days as a tourist - it's going to be ridiculously hard since most of not all European countries have to serve a 7/14 day SHN once entering the country; notwithstanding the fact that they're never going to get approval to come in as a tourist under the current circumstances.
Singapore knows international commerce can only resume when the pandemic is over, and they're not going to squander their well-won progress with the pandemic by opening it up en-masse to foreign tourists. And Singapore can afford to wait. They've already thrown out four emergency budgets and can easily afford a lot more - there's sufficient financial support that often is a sticking point in most other countries.
The Prime Minister has said that Phase 3 might last a year or longer; and that they only expect to finish vaccinating whoever wants one by Q3. I'd say OP chances of getting in as a European tourist is going to be quite slim unless it's towards the later part of 2021, and only if 1) the pandemic situation improves for Europe, and 2) vaccination etc. has been rolled up as fast or faster than expected.
