From Singapore, Cape Canaveral SFS is about 16664 km away. Face N (roughly 8°) shortly after liftoff and watch low on the horizon — the rocket climbs as it heads downrange.
You're not watching the rocket itself — beyond a few km the vehicle is far too small to see. What's visible is the engine plume at 65–100+ km altitude: at night a brilliant moving flame (routinely seen 300+ km away), at dawn/dusk a sunlit "jellyfish" cloud that has been documented 800+ km away, in daytime only a white contrail with much shorter range. Cloud cover, local horizon and trajectory all matter.
