Actually Singapore is not off the ballot. Each year we ask each program which of the three regions of voting in the world they would like to appear on the ballot: Americas, EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and JPAA (Japan, Pacific, Asia, Australia). Singapore has chosen to only appear in the balloting for the JPAA region. While it may be that they have a following here in the States, my guess is that they know it is not likely a large enough base to gather the necessary votes to capture 1 percent of the vote necessary to qualify for the award consideration.

But all air carriers are represented that have measurable frequent flyer programs.
