As per SQ news release, SQ will be launching 3x weekly SIN-CGK-SYD flights from 23 NOV 2016.

Flights will be operated by 777 and timed as follows:

SQ261 SIN 20.15-21.00 CGK 22.25-09.30+1 SYD (Mon, Wed, Fri)
SQ262 SYD 11.00-14.35 CGK 15.35-18.10 SIN (Tue, Thu, Sat)
 
Arrive in Jakarta just in time to miss the 3 in 1 morning traffic
restriction. Won't matter traffic will still be the same.

Qantas used to do this route years ago.
 
Interesting fifth freedom flight. Is this 2 class service?
 
Certainly an interesting choice for a new route. Interestingly, 2 out of the 3 days that the SYD-CGK flight will operate (Tuesday & Thursday), there is currently no Qantas or Garuda flight for some reason.

Is this 2 class service?

It would appear to be.

Important to note that SQ has been the defacto national carrier (internationally) for many years for wealthy Indonesians. SQ's connecting fares out of CGK are usually on a par with (or dearer than) their fares out of SIN (contrast to places like KUL and SGN where SQ connecting fares are often much cheaper than our of SIN ) With that in mind this service is not so surprising.
