Hi,
The information you have received here is incorrect.
From 1st Jan 2007 CAAS recognize JAA ATPL theory from ANY JAA member state, but you must have a full ATPL and not a frozen ATPL.
The only exam you will have to take is the Singapore airlaw.
I just got my SIN ATPL a few month ago and all I did was the SIN airlaw and to show my JAA theory results....and of course the airplane and instrument checkride.
But you have to be employed by a SIN company and the requirements for flight time I donīt know.
Good luck !!
