De Havilland Dash 7, of 1970s to 80s vintage, though obviously old with little patches of tranished
white paintwork on the airframe revealing it's true age. In-flight service was better than I
expected. Hostesses were friendly and courteous. Though they serve packet towels, some sweets on a
tray, and bottled mineral water, they did so with high level of politeness. The only bugbear I can
highlight is the lack of a hot snack and hot tea/coffee on the flight - that wouldn't have cost too
much, and flight was 1hr 30 mins.

Singapore to Tioman and from Tioman to Kuala Lumpur. I have never seen
aircraft in such bad shape ever (Dash 7s which should have been turned
into nails and screws a long time ago!) Visible structural damage on
body and engine mount. The outer shell of the aircraft was no longer
aligned with the cabin, hence the outer structure covered parts of the
windows (some seemed loose even) Inside; dirty and completely run down.

This is an airline flying out from Singapore to 2 islands in Malaysia:
Pulau Redang and Pulau Tioman. Took the former. Journey was 1.5 hours on
a Dash 7 (DHC7) airplane. Plane looked a little aged but functioned
well. The air-conditioning did not come on till the plane was in full
flight. Wasn't the best experience cooped up inside the plane under a
2pm tropical sun while waiting for the plane to take flight. A bottle of
water was served for the short journey and there were 2 stewardesses.
Service while courteous, was bland. One of the traveller happened to
leave her sunglass pouch in the waiting room and when I asked one of the
stewardess if she could just ask the 30+ people taking the flight about
a missing pouch via intercom, she suggested that I go seat to seat and
enquire instead.
