Yes I can confirm these are also being handed out - even on very short flights like the 2 hr SIN-BKK.
Here is a video I took of mine I received yesterday:

I agree, I don't want to have to carry an amenity kit to the bathroom when I go - much more convenient to grab and use items inside, when you decide you need them. On my last flight I packed away the amenity kit at the start of the flight and completely forgot about it by the time I was getting ready for bed. (I guess I need to fly Suites more regularly, anyone want to donate to my GoFundMe???)

My experience is only flights departing from SIN get the business class 70 year anniversary amenity kit, with no kit for flights to SIN.

SQ is the only high quality airline that stubbornly refuses to provide amenity kits in J, just unacceptable.

I don't believe anyone has ever touched the toothbrush and toothpaste that I have used in the SQ J toilets.

Glad SIA does not
Often do not like the kits given by airlines - brand or contents - some items ok ( but the rest are given away so as to cut down waste ) .
Lots of wastage otherwise but does occupy space in my luggage before I get to give away ..
Good grief ! Disgusting
Who would re use someone else ' s ??
Toothbrushes / paste , razors , combs , etc are all individually sealed / wrapped in the loo !!
I would often keep the ones I use if it is a long flight rather than opening a fresh one .
This is more eco - friendly & green ^ rather than having so many amenity kits .
Just a thought as I type - with the kits given at the luxury hotels I stay at , I can always use their kit .
Pick what I need from SQ at start of flight & use during flight or even those from SKL , rather than just sitting around ( or drinking - " potentially oneself silly " , we know who those are )
Looking to our next flights soon

If you don't have any use for the amenity kits, why not donate them to homeless shelters or charities? When I am travelling, I collect the soaps and shampoos and kits and drop them off at various charities when I return home. They're very appreciative of such donations as the people who use them can clean up without sharing.
Hotel cleaners generally have to throw out the soaps and shampoos if they are left behind...I see kits littered in the J cabin when I exit. When not let someone else use them if they haven't been used rather than going to waste.

That ' s what I do with hotel kits too . Not only at home but charities at various destinations
Only I get to check them in rather than hauling them in my already heavy hand carry .
As for airlines , the weight of amenity kits can be allocated for other areas .
More decent snacks .
For starters , on SQ - how about more satay ? Perhaps as part of their snack menu too
Otak , assortment of curry puffs , corned beef sandwiches ..
Oh my , do not get me started
And just the thought of possibilities / substitutes !!
As for the anniversary ones , brilliant .
But why haven't I received any ?
When this this start ?
Only cookies at KIX in April
Got the teddy bears though on SIN HKG SFO .

I just don't see why it bothers SIA so much to offer even a small kit in J.

The only use I have for an amenity kit in any class is if the actual pouch/bag/case is good quality and doesn't have the obnoxiously large airline branding. I use it as a disposable toiletry bag, but other than that I don't actually use any of the items in the kit since I bring my own version of the amenity kit on my carry on (for emergencies, or if my bag gets delayed).
