I saw on Virgin's website that they fly to Singapore yet the database has not a single picture of a Virgin plane there.
Is it a codeshare ? It wasn't mentioned on their site.

Wow, than they have some strange pricing going on.
I checked LON-SIN and GRZ-FRA-SIN, both codesahre appearently.
From LON it's some 400 € more expansive than from FRA including the flight from Graz.
Maybe it's a Virgin-premium

Remember that SQ is a major shareholder in Virgin.....I really dont expect Virgin to fly its own equipment into Singapore and compete with SQ. Likely a codeshare.
Virgin plans to fly LHR to SYD via Hongkong, instead of the more traditional Kanagroo route via Singapore mainly to avoid direct competition with SQ.

VS LHR-SIN is a codeshare flight with SQ, the thing is why do they codeshare with MH to KUL and extend the service to SYD? i mean they could do LHR-SIN-SYD with SQ instead of LHR-KUL-SYD.

VS codeshares with MH twice a day on LHR-KUL sector. Just find it strange as to why they only codeshare on KUL-SYD once a day, instead of two to meet with the two daily arrivals. KLM on the other hand, codeshares with all flights to Australia/NZ from KUL to meet with 12 weekly flights between AMS & KUL.

But then BA don't have a braggart who announces routes and doesn't start them. Still waiting (probably in vain) for the MAN-MIA service promised for 1987 which an egomaniac announced in 1986; or even a press release for the cancellation of the MAN-BGI service which was due to start a year ago.

the codeshare with MH on the KUL-SYD sector will probably end later in the year as VS are due to start LHR-SYD flights via HKG with their own metal.
Also SQ owns 49% of VS so it would be stupid for VS to compete with SQ on the LHR-SIN sector. VS probably don't see enough demand on that route to warrant them using their own equiptment.
