Not so, according to your link to Singapore Airlines, passengers can still transit through Singapore airport as long as they have not visited or transited through the following banned countries: Mainland China, France, Germany, Italy, Iran, Republic of Korea, Spain. Otherwise,you can still fly through Singapore if you don't leave the international zone.

I've re-read my link and I don't see reference to the above.

My Singapore Airlines link: Last updated 22 March 2020, 1745hrs (GMT+8)

Your ICA link: Updated as of 21 March 2020

One of them is wrong or not updated then..

Singapore to bar short-term visitors from entering or transiting through Singapore in view of heightened risk of importation of COVID-19 cases
2020-03-22
The Singapore government has announced that it will bar all short-term visitors from entering or transiting through Singapore, in view of the heightened risk of importation of COVID-19 cases into Singapore, will now not be allowed to enter or transit through Singapore.

This will take effect from Monday (23 March 2020), 2359 hours.

Minister of National Development and coronavirus multi-ministry taskforce co-chair Lawrence Wong at a media doorstop on Sunday (22 March) said, “These are significant moves, especially for a small, open economy like Singapore that has always been connected to the world”.

He added, “I can understand, Singapore is attractive and people want to be here… but for every visitor that comes through, for every work pass holder that comes through, they take up resources,”

“During this time, we need to focus our resources on returning Singaporeans because they are coming back in large numbers,”

Previously, except for a handful of countries, short-term visitors from elsewhere were allowed to come into Singapore, save they were issued a 14-day Stay-Home Notice (SHN) upon arrival. This meant, however, that resources were being expended to serve and enforce SHNs on them, and if they fell ill, to provide them with medical treatment.

According to Ministry of Health, there were still 533 short-term visitors arriving in Singapore on Saturday.

Have you got home yet?

Changi encouraged transiting passengers to go out and visit Singapore during layovers. Subways and public buses went straight from the basement of the airport. In fact, the terminals had a bus tour from Changi that went to various tourist spots in Singapore. The tour ran multiple times a day. These tours were always full by the time I arrived on the way to Cambodia.

Guess the bottom line is no more Singapore bus tour while waiting for the connecting flight.
