Carry-on restrictions for airlines

Handy reference for cabin carry-on restrictions for budget airlines from Singapore for the lowliest chicken coop tier. Scoot and TigerAir allow for a wider but shorter bag. Wonder why? TigerAir is the most generous with a maximum of 10kg weight limit - good for those trips where you might need to pack some gear required for adventures.

Airlines should allow me to carry on more if I commit to lose some weight before my flight. I can also swear not to eat anything prior to boarding.
