If I recall correctly from another article Singapore had a SOP to always use the maximum length available.
No, we don't have any such SOP. The reality is that for every B777 flight that I've crewed from MAN-SIN we're on ABSOLUTELY maximum weight, and the runway offering the greatest RTOW is not only the preferred, but the required runway.
