We can't predict the opening of Singapore's border at the moment due to the news of border updates to Indonesia, but I think Singapore is always watching the situation of the other country and responding accordingly. Many people think that Singapore's situation has improved these days, "Wouldn't it be allowed to enter the country?" However, we don't know when Singapore will be able to open its border with Korea because the number of confirmed cases in Korea has suddenly increased.

The Multi-Ministry Taskforce has been closely monitoring the global COVID-19 situation and regularly reviews Singapore’s border measures to manage the risk of importation from travellers and onward local transmission, taking into account the current situation in their source countries/ regions.
Tightening of Entry Approvals for Travellers and Transfers from Indonesia
2. Given the worsening situation in Indonesia, we will tighten our border measures for travellers from Indonesia by reducing entry approvals for non-Singapore Citizens/ Permanent Residents with immediate effect. Entry approvals may be considered where additional safe management measures are taken.
3. With effect from 12 July 2021, 2359 hours, all travellers with travel history to Indonesia within the last 21 days will also not be allowed to transit through Singapore.
Updates in Pre-Departure Testing Requirements
4. Currently, all travellers entering Singapore with recent travel history to Indonesia within the last 21 days prior to departure for Singapore will need to present a valid negative COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test taken within 72 hours before departure for Singapore. With effect from 12 July 2021, 2359 hours, such travellers will instead be required to present a valid negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 48 hours before departure for Singapore.
5. Travellers who arrive in Singapore without a valid negative PCR test result may be denied entry into Singapore. Permanent Residents and long-term pass holders who fail to comply with the new requirements may have their permit or pass cancelled. All travellers will continue to be subjected to:
a. 14-day Stay-Home Notice (SHN) at dedicated SHN facilities;
b. On-arrival PCR test[1] and PCR test on Day 14 of arrival; and
c. On-arrival Antigen Rapid Test (ART)[2] and self-administered ART test on Day 3, 7 and 11 of arrival.
