Submit a work injury incident report to MOM (try https://www.mom.gov.sg/eservices/services/wicsu...).

Your employer is legally liable under the Work Injury Compensation Act (WICA) to compensate you for your work-related injury. If they have a Workman Insurance (Singapore) policy, then the insurer will pay for your claim and your employer should not have any reason to delay compensating you. This includes medical bills that you've incurred due to your injury, plus salary while you were on MC (if any), plus compensation if you've suffered any permanent disability.

Your employer will have to know it's you filing the claim, since you're claiming for the injury. However, retaliation against employees is not allowed (for instance, firing you to stop the WICA claim is illegal, and even if they terminate you the WICA claim will still proceed whether or not you're still employed by them).
