KL-Singapore air route

For too long now, MAS & SIA have been ripping-off travellers flying between the two destinations due to their duopolistic arrangement. This should not be allowed to continue further.

Low cost carriers like Air Asia and Tiger Airways have shown that air travel should not be so expensive. They want the KL-Sinagpore route opened so that they can offer travellers cheaper options for flying between the two cities. This should be done as soon as possible.

Before the sky is opened, MAS & SIA should do the right thing of lowering the fares for flights between the two cities now. This would only be fair to travellers. In any case, they would have to lower the fares once the route is opened. So why continue exploiting the travellers.
