Would be limited to SIN residents though, wouldn't it ?

I thought that might be the case as well, however reading the fine print it doesn't mention being limited to any country!

Will you get hit for currency conversion everytime you use it if you dont live in Singapore?

I am not sure what benefit this would have. It's 1 KF point per SG$1.60 earned (plus the 50% bonus) - this works out at 1 (plus 0.5 bonus) KF point per approx AU$1.39 - and there's the currency conversion.

You're better of with the MR Ascent program, transferring 1.5 KF points for every AU$1 spent.
