It should be possible though you need to confirm it with those in charge of it, as it will not help your case here on the forum. They probably have a website with all the information in the FAQ's

All UK schemes can only be transferred to HMRC approved schemes. None exist in Singapore but you can transfer to an overseas approved scheme.
When transferred there is no tax deducted.
Any potential transfer needs appraisal first - old benefits versus new benefits etc.

Yes. The answer is most likely a QROPS (Qualified Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme). These do indeed need to be recognised by HMRC. It is possible to get the full amount and have access to it, legally.
