PAP-US defence act is born out by LKY's hatred of the British for leaving Singapore in the 1970s. Up till now, there's no defence attache in the Singapore HC in London while there are at least 2 in Washington DC. Singapore will agree to anything the US proposes defence or political wise--look at the TPP--Singapore latches on to it straight away.
One day, B-52 or B-2 bombers will be launched from Singapore in a conflict.
Yes, I believe that in any regional conflict that the US is involved in, they will use SIngapore as a forward air base to launch air strikes. And you better believe they will be refueded and escorted on part of the mission by RSAF KC-135s and AWACS planes.
