It is a directive from CAAS about people coming from Indonesia. SQ has no control of what Singapore government wants to do. Even if you take Garuda to SIN, it will be the same. Maybe you can ask Jokowi to talk to LHL.
You are free to transit in another airport. I heard that both DOH and DXB are quite free to roam for anyone from anywhere.
