In Singapore it is not like NH gives access to their Diamonds and not to *G. They give a better access to Diamonds, but still a lounge for any *G on NH.

I have never been anywhere where the carrier paying for the lounge access at a contract lounge gives access to their own *G, and not to partner *G.
