You don't want to know what all I know, it might fill the head of a pin. But, yes, the trip to SIN is subload and you pay for the hotels and medical. However, I will say that is the norm for SQ.
In 1996, I went to SQ for an interview/medical/sim for the then new (to them) 340. Same deal, you pay for everything and subload on the flight in coach no less. So, the fact that the terms hadn't changed is no real surprise.
But, I will say the whole interview process is very low keyed. The sim is very straight forward, no hidden adgenda. The medical is a regular medical, not an astronaut physical. No fiber optic camera through your nose!!!
That's about it, other than the pay, I could think of plenty of worse places to be.....
