It doesn't make any difference whether or not he subsequently gets a US passport. He would still be faced with the same obligations as a Singaporean.
However, if neither of the parents are Singaporean, then it wouldn't apply.
I believe that the OP mentioned that she is Singaporean, hence having the baby here would mean that the baby would be automatically given citizenship. The child can only make his/her choice of which citizenship he/she wants to keep at the age of 21 years.
