I am not really sure which regional destination you are referring to.
As far as I know the only "crap" aircraft SQ has is its B772. Some of B772 have AVOD in economy. There are still few aircrafts that still have non AVOD on B772, I was on one in DPS and CGK route.
I am not surprise if SQ uses this aircraft also to sub-Indian continent which probably SQ is unchallenged even they use the lousiest aircraft.
Other destination that I know like ICN, TPE, Japan route are mostly on A330 or 77W or even A380 which are very good product.
Well at least SQ does not have a plane that does not even have AVOD and has remote on the arm rest in biz class like CX 772.
I am not trying to defend SQ but just stating the fact.
