I got this three times in a row one week after the next, all from BKK. It can get very frustrating...
I also experienced that on my arrival by SQ979 from BKK. They shut down the movators in that gate section. First time ever for me on arrival. As surprised as I was, I was more surprised with the additional security screening they have an CNX which you have to go thru before even getting to the check-in counter.
Not Sure If there is a Death Penalty in Singapore for smuggling drugs through Changi but off the topic a little one only has to think about the Bali Nine and Schapelle Corby doing 20 years in a Bali Prison and ask themselves is it worth risking your life to do so even if there is a big amount of money to be made
from what i hear (and hence the absolute credibility of this ), security checks on arrival are not in SQ hands but are fronted by CAAS based on intelligence received, which also determines some originating airports and not others. If you look at the list so far - BKK, MNL, CGK - its not very surprising, is it. And rather than to look at it as not neighbourly, it may suggest cooperation among the police agencies involved.
