Singapore Airlines has never had interest in F1. They were arm twisted by the government to pay. This year their interest was so low that Emirates was allowed to show banners. I am not aware of any lounge and invites of any passengers.

I was invited + guest. SQ had its own suite at the Paddock Club. Quite a spread including other activities such as whiskey, gin and sake tasting "masterclasses". Obviously the Paddock Club tickets include access to all the other areas, restaurants, pit lane walk, etc. All in all, probably the nicest TPPS perk to date. Very much appreciated.

Here's just a few. This is the SQ suite (I edited out the people) to give you an idea. There were lounge chairs a step down in front of the window. View was onto the front of the starting grid.
The SQ suite was of course catered but the better food was at the various Paddock Club restaurants...Nobu, Rockpool, Jean-Georges (Vongerighten), Como and I think some others. Here's the Rockpool menu (Neil Perry himself was there) and some of the beef choices with a Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon (considering this was all inclusive and free flow there were some ok wines around...SQ had a Domaine Fourrier Gevrey Chambertin for example).
Here's a pic from Como...my kind of stuff (yeah, so much uni it fell off!). There was quite a spread here .. Lobster Rolls, Cinco Jotas Iberian Ham, crusted lamb chops, and on and on.
The SQ suite was above the BWT Alpine team. There's Alonso and Ocon down below.
The Pit Lane walk is good enough... decent views of the teams working on the cars.

Amazing, pics! Thank you so much bpk6h, feels like we were there. Food looks shiok! I can see why you said this was one of the best SQ events. Did they only invite T/PPS to the SQ suite?

Looks like a fantastic experience bpk6h and a nice reprieve from last night's weather no doubt.
A very nice way to acknowledge and thank their top passengers such as yourself.
