The food at SQ @ SIN is certainly superior, but otherwise has the same too-busy-too-hard-to-navigate feel as KL. I'm a little skeptical of that article, though, as while the VS CH at JFK is certainly a good lounge, I'd say the flagship LHR lounge (a better comparison against the KL flagship lounge) is better. I assume the AF lounge they reference is 2L, and I'd probably prefer either 2L or 2M to KL, but 2K is... uh... a step above 2F. And I'm a bit skeptical of the AF lounge being ranked higher than the VS lounge.

So while I don't disagree with your point, I do think the article is more "here's a random list of my favs" rather than anything more rigorous.
