http://www.asiaone.com/Travel/News/Story/A...707-153403.html No hot drinks served because the weather is warm WE don't serve hot drinks because the weather is warm today. That was the reply Addy Lee got from a Singapore Airlines (SIA) stewardess when he requested for a hot coffee on the plane, says the celebrity hairstylist on his blog. In a Sunday posting titled "SQ's joke" on lifestyle website omy.sg, Lee writes that he has been commuting frequently between Malaysia and Singapore, due to his role as a judge in the Malaysian programme, "I Wanna Be a Model". During an early flight back to Singapore last Thursday, Lee says he was taking a rest when the stewardess came around to serve drinks. He requested for a hot coffee, to which the stewardess said "huh" in reply. Thinking that the cabin crew did not hear him clearly, Lee says he repeated the request. This time, the stewardess said, "Sir, due to the warm weather, we do not have hot beverages". Taken aback by the reply, Lee reacted with a "huh", to which the stewardess repeated the same explanation - what he calls - a "joke". Lee says he finally settled for mineral water. He then heard the Caucasian passenger seated beside him saying, "How can be? SQ such a big company do not serve hot drink. Ridiculous", to which Lee just laughed. An SIA spokesperson told the Shin Min Daily News that when the weather is bad and turbulence is encountered, serving of hot beverages will be suspended for safety reasons. The spokesperson added that the safety of the plane's passengers and cabin crew are of the utmost priority. Shin Min understands that during bad weather conditions, the airline stops serving hot beverages, in case it spills and scalds passengers. Warm weather vs bad weather, very different loh....based on the report, if it is true, then SQ should send their staff for Introduction to English 101 instead of coffee, tea or me...LOL.....anybody gf or wife is a SQ stewardess, care to comment on this????
