The SQ comment I read elsewhere as well but regarding the leasing in general, from earlier in the year (various sources):
"Following a thorough fleet analysis, we have decided to invest CAD275 million dollars (USD213.5 million) in our Airbus A330 fleet, eight of which are owned and fully unencumbered and four of which are under lease arrangements with delivery scheduled in 2019," CFO Mike Rousseau added.

An interesting article on OMAAT this morning about the 4 new A330's joining the fleet.
There are now flying with TP, but originally from SQ. When the new Fins are introduced they will not be reconfigured to AC's standards, so the original SQ regional business class seat will still exist until the end of 2019. These will instead be sold as PE, and not J.

Thanks @yyznomad - You are the czar of search on FT.
Either that or you have a truly phenomenal memory.

I also have an ok memory, but only with things I'm interested in.
(All I knew is to look in the 330 refurb master thread, because this is about 330s)
YULDUB and YULALG are not the only routes these Four Lions will go to... I wonder which ones the others will be...

Anyone know what do the SQ J seats look like on these A330s? If they are the same as the ones on their regional 777-200ER and 777-300, then that's much better than AC PY and AC narrowbody J. They are more similar to the J seats on those A343s and A345s.
Also if I recall correctly, there is a F cabin on some if not all SQ A330s. Do these one have F cabin?

From Lucky's article, he has pictures of a Fiji cabin noting that it's the same seats (paraphrased) as SQ, but if you dig deeper into the article there are links that IIRC take you to other articles which then lead to actual pics, but here's the Fiji J pic:

Here are pics from @24left from the original 330 thread:
Indeed.
I've flown these SQ birds on a few regional flights, often SQ 878 SIN-TPE on their 333. Here are my seats.
And I don't mind taking the heat from the AC forum for saying this.....ah, if only these aircraft came with even some of the awesome meals and service as noted in my posts on the SQ forum
And SQ seats don't deflate.

These are the regional SQ 330s which do not have an F cabin.
