If you ever have a genuine emergency, pray that Singapore Changi (WSSS) is one of the airports nearby. You could not ask for better help.
If you ever have a lesser problem, no great drama, pray that you are as far from Singapore as possible. Seriously, if you have a relatively minor problem, and just need a bit of time and space to sort it out, better to divert somewhere else. There will be a never ending series of non-stop questions, your blood group, your paternal grandmother's maiden name, the correct answer to 27 Down in the Times Crossword, the list goes on, it seems that the controller has some never ending list of questions to ask, usually ending with "What is your problem?". It's tempting to say that the only real problem is that ATC won't bugger off out of the cockpit and let us sort out a minor problem.
It should be mandatory for Singapore ATC to watch the You Tube link to the very measured and
MEANINGFUL communications from both controllers and pilots in the Thomson B757 engine failure at Manchester, an excellent example to everyone!

REALLY needed)
