Foreign Tax Credit eligibility for resident aliens

I am a resident alien working and living in the US on H1B visa for the past 5 years. My company wants to send me on an extended temporary assignment to Singapore for possibly 6 months. I will continue to be paid by the US entity and will be spending 3 weeks in Singapore and 1 week in US during that period. Can I apply for Foreign Tax Credit for the taxes I end up paying to Singapore? I believe there is no tax treaty between Singapore and US. 

I understand that I am not eligible for Foreign Earned Income Inclusion because of not living there for 1 year but am confused about Foreign Tax Credit in my situation.
