Unfortunately, the above does not stop SIA or the Singapore governement of going with the ususal hype and public relations that they feel is necessary with SIA.
Sadly and pathetically, for Friday Sept. 21, 2001 page W1 of the World Business section of the NEW YORK TIMES the following article: "Singapore's Line, Debt Free, Is in Relatively Good Shape." This reminds me of the hype that was everyday when I lived in Singapore such as everyday articles in the STRAIT TIMES: "SIA Flying High".
The bull and rendition will always be there for they will speak out of both sides of the mouth. The preception must be in the world that SIA is always doing well no matter what the circumstances for we are the master race.
This may sound harsch but its the truth.
