Did the SAF scramble its fighters from their bases in Australia, where the SAF keep 90% of its military hardware?
No. Even an idiot would know that an F16 does not have the range to reach Singapore from Australia on intercept missions. 90% of SAF assets are in Arstralia? You must really be talking out of your arse.

How ironic that they take the p1ss outta the Australians, when they are trained, housed and looked after down under.
Yeah, I'm sure they saw on their super special radar the rego of the intruder and said to themselves, hmm, now shall we take the p1ss out of that Arstralian aircraft by intercepting it? And do you suppose the Arstralians look after them for free because they are refugees or in return for lots and lots of money?

having spent many a year flying with the ex-SAF F16 guys (occupying the RHS of an Airbus) I can honestly say what a hopeless lot they were. Im sure they would be hard pushed to recognise a C206 let alone intercept one
They may or may not be able to recognise a C208 C-A-R-A-V-A-N. But you sure got it mixed up by calling it a C206. Now, who is it that has bad eyesight here?
