This is my final say on this one routetuner as we are way off thread.
see link in post 38 above.
At the time of the accident 05R was a promulgated runway Notamed as under repair.
There was nothing wrong with the SIA SOPs, sadly and for reasons known only to the crew, on 31st October, 2000 they were not properly observed or complied with. Black is black and white is white, you can't swap them around to suit your own version of events. Endex.
05R was to have been converted and re-designated as Taxiway NC effective Nov. 1, 2000.

Some examples of Singaporean business practices and openness:
Singapore Airlines: less than exemplary safety record over the years
Tiger Airways: a cheap and nasty outfit, grounded by Australia's safety authority for a period due to safety concerns
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
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...
