There were plans for a 5th that never materialised because of Covid. Still nothing that would please the OP, though

From my perspective, at least, a mid-morning departure would be nice. At any rate, planning a trip in September, I think I am resigned to the red-eye as the least of three evils.
Are they badly timed because they don't suit you? SQ224, despite its early departure, is perfect for connections to LHR, CDG and JFK, to name a few. Clearly, SQ has connecting traffic in mind here.
In order to have a midmorning departure out of PER, they'd have to sacrifice the connecting potential of SQ224, or schedule an even later redeye out of SIN, which some people wouldn't be a fan of.
There's a decent chance the 4th daily will return this year. It gets into SIN around dinnertime, which works nicely for many.
