Emergency funds should be kept as liquid as possible. If you have access to high yielding bank accounts, that will be ideal if you need immediate access to cash.
Next best alternative would be the Singlife account. But if you don't already have it, new applications are now on hold until further notice. This will be good for up to 10k of funds at 2% p.a.
After Singlife, I'll say Endowus' Cash Smart will be good. Do note that it will take a few days to liquidate so you need to plan your cash flow around this.
