to be transferred to SG soil in case of emergency.

I think the plan was to store in Guam or something.... to be transported to Singapore in an emergency...
as when the purchase was made the isn't any country in SEA that has this sort of capability.
However, after RMAF bought long range missile for their MIG29, the AMRAAM was released and I would presume that they are now stored in Singapore.
