The appointment of guardians in Singapore is governed by the Guardianship
of Infants Act. A guardian is defined as a parent, who will be a natural

a guardian:

person to be the guardian of the child after death

Rights of surviving parent to the infant
The surviving spouse usually becomes the natural guardian of the child and
will act either alone of jointly with any guardian appointed by the other spouse.
If no guardian has been appointed on the death of one spouse, the court has
the power to appoint who they deem fit as guardian to jointly act with the other
spouse.
The court has wide discretionary powers in varying orders or resolving any
disputes between guardians.
