Richard,

I arrived to SIN today at 0630:ish (with an A380), waited only 7:ish 
minutes in the immigration queue and was served in less than 2 minutes by 
a really nice immigration officer. Great experience!

(I recall far worse immigration processing, namly at most US airports I 
visited: after queuing for hours, answer a lot of questions getting 
treated almost like a criminal...)

Happily arrived to Singapore,
  Bernie
