It's more like a monarchy, but a very pleasant one.
Of course the media is nicely kept on a leash so don't expect all the mishaps that happen to be brought into the limelight. When SQ completely messed up with their web site "transition" a while back things were veeeery quiet in the media.

There is nothing to suggest this is being covered up, i think you are being slightly alarmist.
The incident will be investigated by the proper authorities and in due course a report will be posted.
As for no follow up by any news agencies, have you thought that maybe this is not as serious as it appears??
Maybe is bad as losing power in both engines sound's it might be quite easily explained.

I have read that it is highly improbable for two engines to develop problems at almost the same time. Pilot error could certainly be the cause for the 2nd engine to shut off, as was the case with Trans Asia. Or perhaps a software error as has been speculated.
If this had turned into a deadly crash, you can bet that these questions would have been answered by now.
It is a shame that SQ is taking this so lightly.

I highly doubt SQ are taking this so lightly as you suggest, once again i am not sure what is giving you the idea that they are. The AAIB is investigating the incident and we all know full reports are not issued straight away.
Perhaps if you would like some more information you could peruse the AVHerald website, there is quite a bit of information on there, including both engines stalling multiple times and the need to drift down to FL260 to restart one of the engines that would not restart at FL370.

The absence of this playing out in the media, does not necessarily mean SQ (and airbus for that matter) are taking it so lightly, especially in Singapore, where we know the media have favourable disposition toward Singapore Inc.
