While SQ upping its ante with a new class beyond first, MH is spiralling away from its 5 star status in Y. Alas, affected flights are those with high volume of locals, thus the 5 star status would probably not affected. My personal evaluation, MH is already below 5 star, no matter what the Skytrax poll says. You just could not depend on the lovely FAs forever to maintain the status. If I am paying my own fare, it will be AK or non-MH flights from now on, however sad and unpatriotic it may be!

Hello, compelled to write my first post here following the confirmation of snack box issue. Last financial quarter, MAS saved RM2million from inflight catering cost cutting. IJ said during the result presentation that "we must be relentless in cost cutting". Staunch MAS supporter that I am, this change will be the last straw that broke the camel's back. I used to feel 'don't know whether to cry or laugh' (to borrow from Chrisrad) when I receive a snack box during KLM or Lufthansa flight.
