Not heard of an engine being in the IATA Pool (if QF-SQ have a pool agreement) as a loan item due to engine lease and/or ownership constraints, and even if it was it would be a pretty expensive exercise to do an engine change for one sector, take it off the wing and then pay overhaul/re-certification costs when sending it back to SQ.
On the other hand, RR have a service centre in Singapore, but maybe their spare has been used too.
