I havent confirmed as need to find out for MIL. I think should be 90 days after recovery, but need to double-check.

From MOH FAQ: https://www.moh.gov.sg/covid-19/vaccination/faqs---booster-doses
This was referring to the 1st booster, but shouldn't be any different for the 2nd, I would think.
Persons who had recovered from COVID-19 and completed the recommended COVID-19 primary vaccination are similarly recommended to receive a booster dose. This should also be from about five months after the last dose of their primary vaccination series and should be received at least 28 days after the infection.

No difference. If in doubt, just wait a bit longer, like 3 mths after the infection. One of my colleagues just took his 2nd booster, and I he had a Covid infection in mid-march, just 3 mths ago.

My colleagues are one by one catching the Omicron BA.4 or 5 variant since last week as we are in the frontline of high risk industry. Most of them are catching the Covid 19 on the 02nd time or re-infected. I foresee myself and DH will be re- infected soon but we are lucky to have taken our second booster a few week ago. Hope the symptoms will be mild as our previous infection.

Yesterday's news mentioned that for the past week, about 45% of the Covid cases were BA.4 or 5 variant (BA.5 alone accounted for 40%), an increment of 30% from the previous week. Stay safe, LNW.
