I wonder if an a321neo could make it MEL-SIN.

Others will have more knowledge but the supposed range of these aircraft is 6480km v MEL-SIN that's slightly above 6,000.
So it may be possible but IIRC airlines can be conservative and want to have a margin of safety. If less freight or fewer passengers and associated luggage were carried, range may rise a bit. Happy to be corrected!

Still no sign of either 2x787s returning to service, so the cancellations roll on. 
Today’s MEL-SIN extended onto coughet as a positioning flight to run Wednesday’s coughet to Sydney service which they used to rescue stranded Melbourne pax last night. So JQ8 is cancelled tonight, and tomorrow, and probably the rest of the week as tradition goes.
Friday Cancellations

Half the Network is running off 3-5 hour delays.
