I hope MH would join SkyTeam, I can see MH & VN working with each quite well, but they both need to improve links with each other first (i.e. code0sharing on KUL>SGN/HAN with VN) The only reason VN got first preference was that they are cosy happy with AF, AL, KL, DL, OK, KE & CZ. (DL dropped SGN in favour of VN & AF dropped HAN in favour of VN as examples) - This is what an alliance is all about helping each member & their FFs!
Back on MH, I find it quite dissapointing to have a single muffin for breakfast in Economy for a high yeidling route like KUL>MEL or maybe MEL is only high yeilding for SQ.
MH can also serve MEL with a 747 to capture some business traffic, something SQ is very sucessful with in MEL (EG: A380 & 77W & 747 (oct))
