Singapore Airlines: less than exemplary safety record over the years

That same statement can be applied to just about every carrier at one time or another.

Tiger Airways: a cheap and nasty outfit, grounded by Australia's safety authority for a period due to safety concerns
Singaporean money but the Australian registered arm of the company is staffed and run by Australians.

Silk Air: there will always be a question mark over what actually went on in the cockpit of one of its 737's before it impacted the ground in a vertical dive
The NTSB are in no doubt as to what happened, the only 'doubt' was deliberately spreadby the Indonesian DGCA as a facesaving exercise.


Dreadful fires a few years ago in Victoria, Australia, which killed hundreds, some caused by faulty powerlines; guess which country's pension fund owns them...
Now you are really drawing a long bow! See above re theAustralian run arm of Tiger Airways.
