"During the Singapore incident, the number 1 engine operated normally. It just would not shut down after they arrived!"
.
Operated normally ??? could mean many things for various conditions ???

1. Thrust control was avail over full range via thrust lever and autothrust inputs.

2. Thrust was normal for inputs to engine system.

Can anyone advise if engine thrust was low/med/hi when they poured that fluid in to in ???

I would guess, 4 normal inputs can shut down engine, Master lever and fire handle via the spar and fuel valves, sounds like none of these 4 were avail, all very interesting.

Anyways, many lessons to be learned I'm sure, this event will make the 380 even more safer than it was on Wednesday.

A very well done to all involved, great job.
