Changes to additional articles allowed on board
We would like to inform customers that there will be changes to our carry-on baggage allowance, with effect from 15 April 2015.
The changes are extracted from Article 13 of our Conditions of Contract and highlighted below in bold.

Your cabin baggage may be weighed and measured and, if necessary, charged for in accordance with valid tariffs. All airline members of the International Air Transport Association (“IATA”) have agreed to observe the following baggage regulations. You may carry on board ONE of the articles listed below free of charge over and above your free baggage allowance, subject to the country’s local requirements:
Ladies' handbag*

Small amount of duty free goods (where permitted)
Infant food and amenities if the infant is travelling. The total weight of these items should not exceed 6kg.
* The maximum dimensions for these bags are 40x30x10cm each. If the item exceeds the total dimension of 80cm (sum of length, width and height), it will be counted as part of your standard cabin baggage allowance. In this event, you will be required to check in either your cabin bag or the additional item.
All other cabin baggage are subject to the following conditions:
Quantity: 1 piece *

Sorry, I've just come back to this thread. My original (and first ever 
) post was very poor. I omitted to mention the very pertinent detail that this was at T2 on a Sunday afternoon. I, much like everyone else here, have never had any issues at Changi and especially not at T3. Apologies again for such a daft omission and I also totally understand why it was perceived as trolling.
I was just shocked to see it and given that I fly out of Changi a lot I instantly thought to sign up and post it here in the hope that it may help some people. Quite funny that it was this observation that made me sign up.
Also I spoke to some SQ staff regarding the above notice and they said the only change is that they are now defining the size of the additional item, that's all.

Depends what you mean by 'obviously.' If your bag looks close to the cabin size limits (but is >>>>> 7kg), my experience with SQ is that you're unlikely to run into any issues. If you mean that the bag is huge and suitcase-sized ...

I recently travelled long haul with a lot of photo gear (3 lenses, DLSR and Mirrorless) as well as a 15" Macbook. They were ok and had no issues coming aboard
