During my last encounter checking in at SIN as a *G I asked the agent if they had any exit or bulkead seats available (I'm 6'5"). She scowled and very loudly announced to no-one in particular "no seat changes on this flight!" 
Once on the aircraft there were folks seated in the bulkhead seats that clearly were not frequent flyers based on their behavior.

Giving those seats (and the exit row) to frequent flyers is not always the practice on European and Asian airlines. Often bulkheads are kept back for those with young children, and exit rows for those who specifically ask for them at check-in and appear to have some justification for wanting them e.g. tall people. Though as time goes on, the US practice (or charging for them) is becoming more common.
