SM, think SWH was just being sarcastic. SQ have never really had expat FO salary packages, except briefly in SQC they had some on expat terms. The only folks on a full expat package were DECs who were on a 5 year renewal contract. Those were all pretty much history by 2012/13.
This job will be great for young single/folks without kids. Get some quality experience and then look for better opportunities out there. The only way to survive long term will be to adapt to the local lifestyle and live like a local. Forget any "expat" treatment/entitlement. Contrary to popular belief, they have plenty of pilots waiting to join on the terms on offer to live in one of the most expensive place on the planet.
