The then-management of EY and SQ are now gone (IIRC Hogan jumped before he got pushed from the EY job), and the current management of both entities could not care less about VA thse days as they shore up their own balance sheets.

EY and SQ both have a dismal record at overseas investments, so why people still consider SIA as a "so-called saviour" for airlines despite SQ's mediocre record overall is beyond me.
