Changing planes at Changi

Greetings all.
In May I have to make a bit of a sad trip in connection with things left undone when my dad passed away in late 2016.
I'll be flying from LHR to SIN landing at T1 and have to take a flight to Malaysia. I've booked a budget airline for that shorter flight which should also leave from T1 at Changi. There are 3 hours between scheduled arrival and departure. I presume that I will have to reclaim my luggage and check in "from scratch" for the second flight, and 3 hours should be long enough assuming to delay on arrival.

Does anyone know if there a transfer system or will I have to exit and queue at the normal check-in desks at T1 ?
What happens if my inbound flight is late and I miss the connection? Are the budget carrier likely to say my ticket is invalid and I have to book a new ticket with them or someone else? (My connecting flight is apparently the latest departure they operate in the day from Changi to my onward (and final) destination).

Thanks in advance
