I never knew there are bus gates in T3! To think I have lived and flew for decades from here. My bad. Apologies and thanks for letting me know.

As much as I wish it wasn't the case after reading that account, the situation does seem that it could have been handled better. The flight did leave 3 hours late and did leave from a bus gate. Bussing passengers to a plane without working air-conditioning in Singapore is an operational risk and I can't say I'd appreciate that treatment.
What doesn't help is unnecessary, intense melodrama and aggression toward staff. While I've never encountered a racially-motivated air-con fault, that post reminds me of a country where I faced the longest, most frequent delays on transport, never once with an explanation offered...

This is very interesting to note that the plane's door emergency chute have been deployed and hope the investigation into this will be made known. Wonder who opened the door when its armed - as the news mentioned that the crew had to "temporarily closed" the door before the plane was towed back to the gate.

SRO was the plane that ended up being brought in to take over. It was the one flying two hours late. SRQ was leaving for HKG around the time the incident occurred so I don't think it could have been the faulty plane. Other than SRM, all the 772 regionals are in service. SRP flew suspiciously 3 hours late to HKG the next morning but at the time of the incident was on a flight back from PER. It's hard to see from flight records which plane was involved. How long to fix a fault like that?

Would have been a catastrophe if it was a malfunction and happened in the air.
