The business of low fuel at destination is nothing new to SQ. In 1979, the company introduced a new fuel policy which required minimum fuel on all sectors...with the predictable result that one SIN-BAH flight landed BAH and on taxi to the parking bay, two engines flamed out due to fuel starvation. The PM was on board...so the policy was changed a short while later.. .Some never learn.
