Admittedly it's possibly in poor taste to compare, but MH cannot even maintain a daily run to LAX

MH is just a joke.

Basically no demand, with old aircraft and lesser frequency, many people opt for SQ.

Even one of the Sultans flew SQ last time when he went to LAX for open heart surgery (some may argue it was only because he didn't have to make two transits if he flies SQ because they have a non-stop flight to LAX from SIN). And then another Sultan also flew SQ to the States. Can't exactly remember where to or the purpose of the trip.
