About 10 years ago, I was bused from an SQ 744 arriving from CDG. I was flying First and while the crew barred Y pax and allowed F pax off first, the bus didn't leave until it was nicely jammed packed with as many people as possible. Together with the then bmi lounge at CDG, it reinforced the fact that SQ is good in the air, but poor on the ground...

SQ short of space in T3 at peak periods?

We had B4 then B3 for Sunday mornings SQ52. Better than C20 for sure.

Remote gates at T3 are A6, A7, A8. The actual aircraft would be located at the new remote bays at the southern end of the airport, which is some distance away.
There are a total of 5 MARS bays at terminal 2. Aircrafts are usually towed away to remote bays if they have a ground time of more than 4 to 5 hours during peak periods. Only the A380s are an exception to this as they have limited bays. As narrowbody bays are almost empty after 12 at T4, MI and TR narrowbodies are towed there.
Hopefully, the situation should improve once TR migrates to T1 by the end of this year. This should give an opportunity for CAG to move some airlines from T3 to T2 to free up space there.

F59R/L and F60 share a common gatehold room.
yuuka_miya is right. The L/R is not reflected on the official iChangi app. In the gatehold rooms, they don't use L/R anyways. They use A/B:

I saw it on the Changi app, not sure if it's changed now. However I don't recall it being reflected on the Changi Airport departure board.

As I understand it, non-stop flights to the United States have selective extra screening at the gates; which is why they only use single-gates (most commonly A15 and B8/B9/B10), as opposed to common gatehold rooms.
But given that gates B9 and B10 are currently closed for works, we'd be seeing more of these flights (especially SQ38/SQ22) spilling into C1/C20 than they already do.Singapore Airlines - A great way to fly...
