I've finally decided to give up my KrisFlyer and head up to Asiana Club or ANA Mileage Club as they are more relaxed with accumulating mileage for higher tier membership.
Still torn between both though and wanted to hear your inputs. Would still be flying SIA though and occasionally EVA for PE for SIN-LAX routes...
Any recommendations?

I would not recommend NH unless you intend to fly mostly on NH metal. Have you considered UA?

Neither are particular good, and neither are relaxed at all accumulating mileage.
OZ Pros: easy *G, once qualify *G for more than a year, low lifetime status requirement
OZ Cons: little to nothing elite bonus miles even if you are a high elite, high mileage redemption for award tickets, high fuel surcharge for award tickets, 70% of actual miles on low fares economy class. (V, W, T, G) On SQ no miles for G, Q, V, N, T
NH Pros: Only if can make diamond (100K miles per year with 50K miles require on NH metal)
NH Cons: If you can't make diamond, then miles expire in 3 years no matter you have activity in your account or not, all economy fares except Y, E booking class earn 100% of actual miles, any other only earn 70%, (on SQ only Y/S earn 100%, all other booking classes also only earn 70%) high fuel surcharge for award tickets
Also, there is no formal entry date for BR to join *A, all they mention is they had put in the application, nothing about the exact date, it only menion the earliest date would be Q4 2012 or Q1 2013, but there is nothing guranteed it wouldn't be later than that, so all your miles earn on BR is basically useless to count for status on *A.
