So what do people consider a good one-way redemption of miles in Polaris for SIN?
you may find a saver fare for 70-100k on occasion, but pent up travel demand will take some time to go away.

If you value United miles at $.02/mile then anything over $3600 each way is good. The points guy values them at $.0127 based on avg across many data points. I personally schedule my trips around saver fares as much as I can to maximize value.
