Two things to think through.
Singapore is the Asia Pacific reference among our locations. Identify the audience countries, their networks and the external services needed for each request. A service close to one audience can still depend on a database or model endpoint in another region.
When planning a regional environment, estimate live traffic, replication and backup movement as separate activities. They can follow different paths and occur at different times. Confirm the actual network conditions and test recovery before relying on a location preference.

Hong Kong

Distances are straight-line between city centres. The minimum round trip assumes light in fibre at about 200,000 km a second and a straight cable. Real routes are longer, so always test from your own audience. For a second site that survives a regional outage, Sydney is about 6,310 km from Singapore.
A nearby server is only one part of your application.
Compare the route from the audience networks you expect to serve. Test real requests, not only a location label.
Count remote APIs, databases, sign-in providers and backup destinations when you plan.
Write down how data is restored and who can do it. A copy in another location only helps if you can recover from it.
