10-15 mins is still less than 30 mins+

Same situation also happened in SIN and made my original flight no problems.
DOH, DXB and FRA have no problem laying on private air-conditioned buses, limos, Porsches, for their premium passengers - no cramming (unlike when I got off a long haul SQ F flight at a remote gate and the bus waited to be filled with Y pax before leaving...)
Last year, when I was 35 mins late on a 60 hour transit (in C class), SQ provided a buggy to take me from the B gate to the B Skytrain, presuming that I could then make my own way from there to the F gate for my connection. I was also told that my luggage would not make my flight. I refused, and requested a BP for a later flight... (Hmmm, let me think... 2 hours in the SKL, or 2 hours waiting by the carousel at KUL)
Hey, look, I'm not saying that SIN is not a perfectly adequate airport, I am just making the point that there are some other more pleasant airports to make connections in, and it would be far more convenient if SQ was in one terminal (and the *G lounges had a toilet and shower in them...)
Let's face it, SQ - nice in the air, rubbish on the ground...
