Yes, becoming SEN with MM needs 100.000 Miles, which is nearly impossible if you fly only Y.

With Singapore it could get harder, as they have some classes which give NO miles. But one can sort that out while booking of course:

Y, S, B, E, H, K, L, M, U, W 100 %

Booking Classes not eligible for accrual: G,Q,V,N,T,X,I,O
Redeeming Miles with MM is the easiest thing on earth - so far my experience. You will surely find it harder with any other programme. Also is MM as far as I am concerned the easiest programme to earn miles by NOT flying. But to get a status - it is difficult.

As you can see in my profile I collect at MM (prio 1) and TK (only for the gold status). I made a Excel-Sheet to compare the miles I can earn for each of my flight between MM and MS. MM only wins with short (domestic or European) trips in C. In nearly all other circumstances, TK gives more miles.
