You seem to be forgetting that it was "their" control tower which noticed the KE flight wandering where it shouldn't have and ordered the SQ flight to stop/abort take off.
As for "their" terrible performance at recovery, my experience is that cultures which are rules driven are generally poor at handling situations not covered in the rule book. Both airlines involved here belong in that group.
