I would not be so optimistic. Probably mid 2022, regional travel should be quite free within Southeast Asia. It won't have much reason to extend any further.
Whether you can redeem your desired route or get outsized value is never a consideration for SQ. Most of its members should be regional within Southeast Asia.
