I, too, am trying to find an easy way, but have failed. If you're talking about CX mainly though, AY is uncompetitive on those so I'll just spend your effort on comparing BA with QR.
For ex-SIN routes I believe Milelion has done a breakdown before - QR is the cheapest to redeem for SIN-HKG.

Unless booking last minute, SIN-KUL is terrible use of Avios. Advance fares in economy on MH can easily be found for circa £20.
That's definitely incorrect ex-SIN - taxes alone ex-SIN is already more than £20.
