Actually the F-35 is serious future contender. Probably as a F-16

Singapore currently operates the F-16. They are thinking of buying a
new plane, call it X. If they then purchase the F-35, they'll have 3
fighters operational, F-16, X, and F-35, at least of the period that
F-16 is being replaced.

I suppose they might do this, but to me it seems an unnecessary
lack of standardisation.
