Out of curiosity, what would be the reason for cancelling the race? I understand there's smoke, but is it out of health concerns? Visibility? The only source I saw mentioning this possibility is the DailyMail from the UK and from what I've heard, they aren't the most reputable source for news.
The reason that comes to mind is that the carbon footprint of all the motor racing events over the three days would add to the combined pollution from Singapore and it's surroundings with the jungle burning drifting smoke and those combined effects on the general public around, hence the health warning affecting the old, people with high blood pressure and bad lungs.
