Are there precedents where the Singapore company holds IP and licenses that IP to foreign companies which hire and pay employees? Could a Singapore company grant stock options to foreign employees?

I don't know specifically wrt to Singapore, but this is a common structure.

It used to be called a "Dutch Sandwich", but now called the Double Irish: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Irish_arrangement

That now appears to be closed to new companies in Ireland.
