Does that work out with timing? Still need to overnight in FRA?
Guess you're referring SQ R to JFK, then timing is the same problem as it is with LH thru FRA.

I was referring to SQ R to SIN. They fly from ZRH as well.

I was referring to SQ R to JFK. All options require an overnight in FRA. So what other options are there besides LH (fake) J, LH Y, LY Y/J, LX J (with an additional stop in ZRH)?

IST? TK lay flat on some planes? But why would you make a stop? Wouldnt you rather fly nonstop in Y LH to FRA? You can stay at the Sheraton in FRA airport

Thought wrong. Though SQ is more about backtracking, not MPM, IME.

They have no written rule regarding MPM?
Rep gave me major issues trying to book an award that exceeded the MPM by 1.83%.

Yes.  I don't know where you want to go or stopover but I was booking a Panama trip and was able to book an extended stopover in Cancun.  So two great destinations for 35k RT. Miami was also available to stop, on Copa airlines.

Don't they charge in SGD, so the rate may be a bit different.
