Just browsing the Maldive threads and came across this. I did as much research that can possibly be done on this. At this time, SQ (because of Singapore's rules) does not accept self administered tests. There has been talk of the emed "certificate" looking like it was proctored by a professional, but why risk it. That being said, I just flew SQ MLE>SIN>NRT>LAX, and SQ didn't really read through the details, just looked for the negative results. So sure, in theory you could use the emed probably. But at the check in counter before your flight home is the last place I'd want to risk a hiccup.
