I have found a shop that sells silicon based grease that can be used for lubricating cubes.
It is designed for lubricating gears, and at 1$ a shot it seems reasonable value.

So where is the place ?

I will answer that if some kind soul can tell e where I can buy type-A speed cubes, that means cash and carry and not order via the internet.

The shop I am talking about is located in Sim Lim Tower, at the basement.
If you enter by the OCBC, then take the escalator down to the basement,
and make you way to the left hand corner of the complex, you will find this shop right tucked away in the corner.
There is an exit staircase next to the shop.
 
The shop is a hobbyist shop sellling all kinds of electronic and mechanical components.
He is open on Sunday.

But more relevant to cubes, he sells plastic gears and mini-electric motors for driving the gears and grease for lubricating those components. The pot is quite small about the size of a 50 cent coin, and like the ones the family doctor gives out when perscribing ointments.

I asked him if it was silicon based grease, and he said yes

I got charged 1$ for the pot.

And thanks for the info concerning Blomington

I don't know. I never knew they went out of stock.
