I Did ring in and try my luck. They've asked us to reach out to the 6E folks at SIN once we land there and check for possible lounge access. But the agent wasn't guaranteeing the same.
I highly doubt they'd sort out lounge access in SIN.
The flight they've currently put us on is the next nearest available flight.
The one we were originally scheduled on has been brought forward and hence the MEL - SIN doesn't land in time to make it for that.
