Not sure if this is a topic discussed before, but surely for the amount of moolah one spends on a full service carrier like SQ, they should be able to throw in a sandwich or a hot pie on the SIN - KUL route, given it is about 40 minutes worth of flight when the LCCs can even do Nasi Lemak. Any idea why the decision?

This is actually one which MH and the full service European carriers do so much better than SQ
Why does SQ insist on a full trolley service and those silly trays for a splash of tea/coffee in Y, when MH can do juice and nuts, and the European carriers can do e.g. water/juice/snack in a bag (e.g. BA/KL to AMS, SK/LH domestic)
And then all that palaver with tableclothes and crockery for a plastic-wrapped sandwich in C, when, even between ZRH and GVA, LX can offer you a sandwich from a basket and then pretty much anything you like from the bar
Honestly, flying SQ from SIN-KUL is like a throwback to the 1970s...

Qantas can do a sandwich and bar service in a full economy cabin on a 25min SYD-CBR B738 dinner flight!

Oh well, who knows, maybe it just simply boils down to cutting cost.
