Not quite so. Seem to remember a SIA 777 losing an engine at V1 out of Melbourne in 2004 that was then vectored over port phillip bay for over an hour in order to dump fuel.
Did you even read what I posted.

I said MOST twins, maybe SIA have different ways of doing things?

Any 767s or similar types, like A300s, I have seen it is normal to get back on the ground ASAP, one A300-600 even destroyed all the main wheels and brakes doing it, but that was preferable to risking running out of noise while airborne.
