Yes you are right. Singapore’s Multi-Ministry Taskforce just announced that there might be quarantine free travel coming for travels to Singapore (this is for inbound SHN rules).
Effective from 21st August 2021, Singapore will allow fully vaccinated individuals to serve their 14-day SHN period at their place of residence, rather than in a hotel. This will mostly apply to Low to Medium Risk countries.
UPDATE 3 October 2021:
Singapore cuts the SHN for most countries to 10 days.

Furthermore, there will be more relaxations as the countries’ vaccination rate gets higher.
Therefore, we will look for countries which will likely accept Singapore travellers. In this case, we will get round trip without quarantine.
