--(BUSINESS WIRE)

WHAT:     The first wrongful death case against Singapore Airlines for
          the crash of its Flight SQ006 will start on Tuesday, May 4,
          2004 at 9:30 AM in Los Angeles Federal Court, 312 North
          Spring Street, Room 7, Los Angeles, CA before the Hon.
          William D. Keller.  Opening statements will begin at
          approximately 11:00 AM on Tuesday, and the trial is expected
          to last one week.  Plaintiffs are represented by Brian J.
          Panish and Kevin Boyle with the Santa Monica, CA law firm
          of Greene, Broillet, Panish & Wheeler, LLP.  The Estates of
          Ching Ying Wu and Richard Tzuen Ren Wu vs. Singapore
          Airlines Incorporated, Case No. CV-01-1752 WDK.

WHO:      Plaintiffs Sidney and Christina Wu filed suit on February
          23, 2001 against Singapore Airlines for the wrongful deaths
          of their parents, Richard Tzuen Ren Wu and Ching Ying Wu,
          who were killed when Singapore Airlines Flight SQ006 crashed
          before take-off on October 31, 2000 at Chiang Kai Shek
          International Airport in Taipei, Taiwan.  Plaintiffs seek
          general damages for Defendants' alleged negligence.

          The Wus, both executives with Ameripec, Inc., had been in
          the region on a business trip and were returning to their
          home in Irvine, CA.  The Boeing 747-400 jumbo jet was headed
          to Los Angeles International Airport with 159 passengers and
          20 crew members on October 31, 2000 when the pilot attempted
          to take off on a closed runway and slammed into some
          construction equipment, causing the plane to burst into
          flames. The Wus were two of the 83 people killed and 64
          injured in the accident.

          "Singapore Airlines has done everything in its power to
          avoid appearing before an American tribunal," said Brian
          Panish, "and to face those passengers it has injured or who
          have lost a family member.  The airline has fought us tooth
          and nail throughout the course of this litigation, from
          refusing to turn over the cockpit voice recorder tape to
          flouting a court order allowing the Plaintiffs to question
          the pilots of Flight SQ006.  Singapore Airlines can no
          longer avoid facing an American jury.  It is now time for
          the airline to be held accountable for its actions."

          Panish noted that: "A March 2003 Time magazine article
          reported that Singapore Airlines is expanding its business
          in the United States, and that the airline spent $9.4
          million on high-end wine that it is letting age in its wine
          cellar.  Despite this, Singapore Airlines still refuses to
          fairly compensate Americans Sidney and Christina Wu, whose
          parents were killed by the airline's negligence.  Our legal
          team is one-hundred percent prepared to see that justice is
          served for our clients."

          Mr. Panish and Mr. Boyle represent the Wus and the
          plaintiffs in 14 other wrongful death or negligence cases
          against Singapore Airlines as they pertain to the crash of
          Flight SQ006.  In September 2003, the attorneys went to
          trial in Los Angeles Federal Court in Linke vs. Singapore
          Airlines, which was the first case to be tried in the United
          States against Singapore Airlines.  At Singapore Airlines'
          behest, the parties entered into a confidential settlement
          for a substantial sum of money after one day of trial.
