Miss Danau Kota

Thank you for your comments.

I regret to note about your bad experiences of your house being burgled. I share yours and many other Malaysians sentiment on crimes.

In fact, I have organized for a dialogue with the police last year where all the department heads from the District Police Station (Sentul) came to my office. Many issues were brought up by the residents. I believe that the police in Wangsa Maju has beefed up their crime prevention activities. However, it may not be enough because of the police/citizen ratio is not satisfactory. In Europe the correct police/citizen ratio should 1 officer to 300 citizen but in Malaysia the number is as high as 1 officer to 3,000. Crime prevention is the duty of all members of the society and police. It can only be reduced drastically when it is made into our national agenda. I believe the police is trying very hard to arrest the situation but there is a problems of insufficient man power. I have on numerous occasions brought up in Parliament with regards to this matter.

I really am glad that as a result of my constant engagement in Parliamentary debate concerning the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Wangsa Maju polio station has been upgraded to Grade A where the police personnel have been double in number. If I am not mistaken the number has been increase from 60 to 140 officers. Of course, this was not satisfactory in view of the population of about 200,000 residents for the Wangsa Maju police area. I will definitely do my best to plea the the Minister of Home Affairs to look into the unacceptable increase in crime rate for Wangsa Maju area.Parliament will be sitting next week (12-3-2012) I will definitely do my best to express your concerned about the crime rate in the area.

If you are free, please come over to my service centre on Wednesday night after *:30 pm. Please call my personal assistant, En Yaccob, at 012-2186929 for further information.

Once again, I really am sorry to hear about your bad experiences.

THank you.

With kindest regards

Miss Danau Kota

Recently , my house was broken in by irresponsible robbers. Last month was my neighbour who lives next two block. It seems that crimes of snatch,robbery and house breaking in have become common and those crimes will keep increasing . I realized that Malaysians have become to an extend ” oh ,its fine no one got hurt , injured or its fine everyone is still alive” . If this continues , it does mean ” ok robbers , u can take whatever you want , but not our lives” . We work hard to get our own money,buy asset and things.In some cases,sentimental value of one we love,from one who is no longer alive.
Shall we allow robbers to get all these????
It should be a response of ” We shall get together with our society , police and volunteer groups to reduce this crime!” , “We shall not let the robber continue doing this to others! “…This is a big difference with Malaysian society and Japanese society ,where I used to stay in Japan for years.
According to few sources , many cases are recorded daily for “pecah rumah” all over setapak. Recently Tmn Melati , Danau Kota , Taman Setapak listed as black area.
Perhaps , YB can help in organizing campaigns for all people with police officers to fight against residential crime cases .When it comes to “volunteer” , people `s mindset is busy. How can we expect from police to do the whole work to monitor list of housing area all around the clock?
I guess ” we have to be concern not only for individual but for the neighbourhood.All must work together to fight the crimes”

Kindly please look into this YB..

Sadly written,
Victim

Perhaps MAS should learn from AA on operational matters (or agreeing with Mahathir on the need of share suap):

1. Introduce convenience fees on necessities (e.g. check-in, credit cards etc).
2. Make it difficult not to select optional items e.g. insurance.
3. Book & pay your ticket & meal for next month flight but not refundable even if you cancel 5 minutes later.
4. Cancel all long haul flights that will involve crew rest period. Save on crew hotel, allowances, transportation and aircraft parking. Blame it on environmental issues.
5. Keep airport tax as long as you can to earn interest, eventually ask for discount.
6. Introduce customer services charges e.g. calls to helpline, wheelchair etc.
7. No aerobridge.
8. Cancel any schedule flight at eleventh hour whenever not profitable and making it hard for refund.
9. Fatigue is not in the dictionary so minimise the number of aircrew but maximise number of landing/takeoff with very short turnaround. TF said, Malaysian can compromise on safety.
10. Sell anything onboard at inflated price
.
After doing so, pay the media to publish 'MAS is the best five-star airline' and 4Q later – MAS bounce to profit of ten ringgit after successfully cut operational cost (don't tell anyone that ten ringgit as a result of spin-off divisions/subsidiaries/properties to cronies at real 'low-cost').

One or two readers of YB blog must be happy!

Thank you for your comments.

To be 7th and 8th position when there are not more than 10 low cost airlines is nothing to shout about. If you think that this is something great to shout about then well and good. Perhaps, you should tell us whether AirAsia was allowed to owe airport taxes for a few months in Singapore and will AirAsia be given a discount for whatever charges due to Singapore Airport Authority or SIA for services of AirAsia planes so far. You should also tell us whether SIA or Tiger Airways or other airlines will surrender routes to AirAsia so as to give it a leg up so to speak. It only can happen in Malaysia during the Sleepy Age.

With regards to “why aren’t you asking these questions in Parliament instead of banging on about AirAsia and MAS?”, my answer is very simple as long as it is a genuine, fair and transparent deal it is fine by me. But if it was done in such a secretive manner and no due diligence done on the deal where tax payers fund and public interest are affected then I will carry on banging and banging until it is heard. Furthermore, AirAsia is a private listed company, it should remain private and don’t expect any handout whether in terms of subsidy like the RM250 million for the RAS only to be terminated prematurely or inactions from Khazanah over the RM35 million paid by MAS for the canablisazation of aircraft during RAS days. AirAsia should not be treated differently to other listed company. More so for AirAsia Sdn Bhd, formerly known as FAK during its RAS days, which is a private limited company. why should AirAsia be treated differently to other ten of thousand sdn bhd in Malaysia. If AirAsia has done so well in Singapore, I congratulate them for it. I will congratulate them further if it could owe airport taxes and service charges in Singapore for years like what had happened in Malaysia. If AirAsia can’t do it in Singapore then it shouldn’t have done it in Malaysia.

Please be reminded that Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar has admitted that the option to purchase the 10% share in AirAsia X Sdn Bhd was a dodgy deal. From this, you will no doug agree with me that there was no due diligence has been done before the MAS – AirAsia share suap agreement was signed.

Thank you

With kindest regards

In which business school or book about airline management does it say that airlines have to operate routes that are not profitable (i.e. making losses)?

Very simple concept, dude – make losses, cut. Make profits, maintain or increase.

Market development costs? Maybe, but with a reasonable time frame to generate profits.

Airlines are not sugar daddies. Governments are, especially those that can’t be weaned away from handouts and subsidies!

Razak of MAS

Interesting that you are conflating AirAsia with Singapore (or more precisely, Changi Airport).

I just checked on the Changi Airline Awards 2011 Recipients (you can Google for the link), and found that in the Top 10 Airlines by Passenger Carriage (based on passenger carriage in 2010), the 7th and 8th positions are occupied by AirAsia and Indonesia AirAsia respectively.

So, it looks like AirAsia and it’s Indonesian affiliate both have a good thing going in Changi Airport.

Cue in weeping and grinding of teeth from parties in Malaysia…..

But, it goes to show that AirAsia and Indonesia AirAsia accomplished this in the face of no-holds-barred competition from the other LCCS operating at Changi Airport, viz. Lionair, Tiger Airways, Jetstar and Cebu Pacific.

So, what exactly are you implying with regard to AirAsia and Singapore? Spill it out, dude. Surely, you aren’t afraid of rebuttals, are you?

And it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the more Malaysians and Indonesians fly to Changi Airport, either to visit Singapore or to transit on to other airlines to other destinations, the more it contributes to Changi’s unrivalled regional air hub status.

That says volumes about Malaysia’s national aviation policy (or the lack thereof).

YB Wee, with all due respect, why are’n't you asking these questions in Parliament instead of banging on about AirAsia and MAS?

Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar and his crony do not care about whether the AirAsia X Sdn Bhd’s deal was dodgy or not because it is the rakyat money at stake and not theirs.

according to YB’s posting MAS had to pay RM35 million to put aircraft into airworthy after FAK, now AirAsia X Sdn Bhd, canabalised the aircraft during the RAS days in Sabah and Sarawak. Tan Sri Azman did not instruct MAS management to claim for the RM35 million from AirAsia X Sdn Bhd. For all you know Azman Mokhtar may have done the opposite.

Bloody Bina Tak Fikir at work.

Do you expect Rashdan the crony of Azman to turn around MAS? Definitely not especially when he was planning to sell non-core assets of MAS to save MAS like what both of them did under WAU where 70% of MAS Catering Sdn Bhd was sold to the brother of Badawi. Thereafter got MAS to enter into a 25 years catering agreement with Badawi’s brother company.

Instead of evaluating and finding ways and means to terminate the 25 years agreement, that bloody crony was talking about selling more assets of MAS.

No need to educate me, bro – I use Changi Airport frequently.

Why didn’t you mention that Qantas’ Jetstar LCC also uses Changi’s Terminal 1, eh?

Also, are you privy to information about any possible discounts or special conditions that the Changi Airport Group (CAG) may have extended to AirAsia in return for commitments to maintain certain targetted pax volumes through Changi?

It was also announced recently that the Changi’s Budget Terminal will be demolished and replaced by a new Terminal 4 which will cater for LCCs, but not exclusively. And, yes, this Terminal 4 will not have aerobridges as the LCCs have indicated to CAG that their priority is the quick turnaround of their aircraft so as to maximise utilisation.

And in the interim, the LCCs will have to relocate to Changi’s Terminal 2, until the new Terminal 4 is up and running. That should be an interesting exercise for the current Budget Terminal LCCs!

I am not making this up, by the way. You can access the info on the websites of Channel NewsAsia and the Singapore Straits Times.

MAS management was in crisis and desperate when that crony Rashdan, TF, Datuk Azman Yahya and Kington Tan were appointed to the Board of MAS. Their heart is not MAS.

Rahsdan and Azman Mokhtar were the expert of WAU and MAS was canibalised. MAS catering Sdn Bhd was put on the silver plater for the brother of Tun Dol or aka Sleepy Head. Thereafter, the food supplied to MAS are of high cost. Please check the price list charged for same beverage for economy, business class and first class. The charges are different but the drinks are the same. please also check on the prices charged for all foods supplied to MAS.

This was the BinaFikir’s idiot doing. Now that bloody crony was talking about disposing non-core assets of MAS. We knew what that crony Rashdan thinks. He is eyeing MAS Engineering, MAS cargo, MAS Academy and other profitable one.

MAS will be finished soon under crony Rashdan and AJ.
