You have to remember that Silkair has access to the whole SIA network from Singapore, but Qantas has London and Frankfurt. It makes a difference in how many planes you can fill and how often. This is also the reason why Qantas appears to 'under serve' Australia.
For example look at how many Thai Airways flights a day go to Bangkok compared to Qantas and from which cities. Same too with SIA to Singapore who have a clear frequency 'advantage' over Qantas. All for good reason.
