So we had 1½ hours between flights to make the connection.

But SQ just informed me that the connecting flight is now leaving at 17:45.
So that only allows 1 hour to make the connecting flight.

And to complicate things further, while making the connection my wife will have to be in an airport-supplied wheelchair, which will meet us at the gate when we deplane upon arrival at SIN.

Does 1 hour seem do-able to get to the connecting flight?
Yes, but don't dawdle. There's no immigration to pass through, one merely needs to conduct security at the SINDPS departure gate. This is a legal connection, SQ sells it.

You'll also find SQ21 tends to arrive ahead of schedule.

Personally, I'd be more worried about having your DPS papers in order. Landing ~9p in DPS is an unpleasant time to arrive. Pity they did away with the VIP meet and greet, those were the days.

Enjoy your trip - Jamie
