For a lot of points of origin, travelling to Zones 2 & 3 (South East Asia) will be same as XXX-SIN, and for some origins (Australia/NZ), awards to Zone 4 (HKG, TPE, southern China) are also the same. Although there will be extra taxes in all instances.
Actually the taxes for transiting SIN are low because the government wants to encourage transit. It's the taxes for stopping/ originating in SIN that are high

P.S. Maybe the thread about Jewel should start discussing who subsidised Jewel the most @:-)
