Thank you for your valuable comments. I am most grateful for your inputs. I will definitely use some of your points during the Debate on the Royal Address in Parliament after March 12.

It is a bit late to change the Parliamentary questions now. I had to lump them together and draft them in the way I did because MPs are limited to about 40 word per question. It is very tie consuming to draft the questions with such constraint. Please don’t worry. It is a long session this March. Parliament will only end in mid April. I can still raise your questions in the Debate for the Royal Address. plea rest assured that I will do my best to highlight the points in the comments by you and other readers. I shall also lobby other MPs to air the pride and plight of the good staff of MAS except those Panamera Deadwoods and the crony.

Sdr, Please don’t stand on ceremony. You don’t have to thank me for speaking up for the members of staff of MAS. It is my duty as a Parliamentarian to stand up for you all when MAS has been treated by the “Bina Tak Fikir” consultants in Khazanah as its step child. If these “Bina Tak Fikir” consultant chose to bulldoze their selfish plans to “anaktirikan MAS” for others then they must pay the price. Lets us all join hand to fight them. MAS staff must also shake the Union leaders to stand up for its members during such critical time. Tell them to stop playing games by making threat after threat of direct actions like picketing, wearing protest badges and etc and only to be postponed at the eleventh hour with the lame excuse of MAS management was going to talk to them. What happened after that? Only God knows better! It has been some 8 months and so many decisions have been made not in the interest of our national carrier, MAS, and yet the Union leaders are still talking. I am just wondering what they have even talking about all these while. The members of staff should do something about it. before “nasi jadi bubur”!

Please feel free to send e-mail to me and we can discuss further. My e-mail address is: weeck2012@gmail.com

Many thanks to you, other MAS staff and readers for all the valuable contributions to stop the ROTS in MAS.

with kindest regards

YB

if not to late, i would like to propose some changes in ur Q in the parliment

Q4 – on the consultant, rather than focus on certain period, pls ask how much MAS PAY for the consultant when AJ/Danny took over the office, how long for each assignment, what is the deliverable and the most important WHY use CONsultant when some Con are not airline expert

Q7 – to split the Q as if u lump all critical Q into 1, there is high possibility G will give generic answer for this Q
a. FY – Previous MD declare FY profit in year 2010 (FY staff got max 8 mths bonus) yet AJ announce FY loss so much, hence they need to stop jet operation. who is the actual liar??
b. migration to KLIA – what is the actual reason behind the migration to KLIA. AJ has given the most stupid answer to MAS when he say he said because we need to be close to the action when the fact is all staff from Subang is just support staff and it will hv no impact on the operation efficiency when when we move to KLIA. why is the need to move now when MAS bleeding like h*ll
c. change of logo – how much it cost to change the logo and what is the return/revenue expected when MAS chance the logo

additional Q

to ask AJ to present business plan in the parliment and to have Q&A session with all Yang Berhormat

i do understand if u can’t make any changes coz it might be too late to change but for whatever happen, MAS staff is very lucky and grateful to have someone like u to fight on our behalf. MILLION THANKS YB….

Olek

if to cut route will be as simple as u say, rugi terus cut. MAS need to get approval from putrajaya before cut any route, simply cause we are national carrier and we do carry social and business obligation to Malaysian people, businessmen and govt.

most of the time, it will take years to get approval to cut the route.

if G can’t give us subsidy, G should give MAS free hand to decide where and when to fly. while it will be good if MAS got free hand to decide, u must also consider the social integration and loss of business opportunity/tourism/student overseas if MAS only fly to profitable route.

G has given AK approval to fly nos of destination but they only take the profit one. they can do that because their decision is purely business decision but MAS can’t do that…….

it not as simple as u say….but maybe if u work with AK…..

YB taruk sama puak2 kroni and penyokong buta si pariah itu. Mereka ni trying to defend the indefensible. MAS – AirAsia share swap is like ikan bills eating up a shark! AirAsia is doing well my foot. If it is doing well, it will not be stopping its London and Paris routes. The government must stop assisting AirAsia X Sdn Bhd because it is a sdn bhd. Why must the government helping those foreign shareholders in AirAsia X Sdn Bhd. It must be treated like any sdn bhd in Malaysia. Only the Bodohwi will do such stupid things. But of course the Bodohwi knew what he was doing and so is Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar. It is believed that Azman went ahead with the AirAsia X deal even though he had said that it was a DODGY DEAL. Got to be an idiot or pretending to be an idiot to proceed with the dodgy deal. But he had to to long his Pariah kawan.

The PM should sack the bugger as he was useless and appointed by the Bodohwi.

Thank you for your comment.

There is no need for me to dodge all points raised by Skilly. The points have been answered by me and the other readers. There are enough posting in my blog regarding the secret MAS-Asia share suap, CCF, spinning and etc. If you feel that I was wrong then state your facts to support the said share suap, ccf, spinning, owing of airport taxes and given discount when airport taxes was paid after your favorite airline Airasia owed for more than five years. Please tell me also whether your favorite country Singapore will ever allow such such things to happen in Singapore.

As for the case of Tan Sri Tajudi Ramli at least MAS has filed an action against him and it is still pending in court. Surely, there is no need for me to remind you that it will be sub judice to discount about a matter that is pending in court. If you want to have a debate pertaining to this matter then you should reveal your real identity and address the I will have a debate with you. Then both of us will be responsible for what we said.

In the case of FAKS aka Fly Asian Express Sdn Bhd. FAKS fought and was awarded by the Badawi’s Administration the RAS for Sabah and Sarawak. FAKS was given a subsidy of RM250 million to run the RAS for two years. Within a year, FAKS gave up RAS and dumped RAS back to MAS with 6 un-airworthy aircraft and one was cannibalize for spare parts. MAS took over and had to refurbish the aircraft to the state of airworthiness costing MAS RM35 million. Did Khazanah instructed MAS to file an action against FAKS. The answer is NO. The Badawi’s Administration did not demand for the return of half of the said subsidy i.e. RM125 million since the RAS contract was prematurely terminated within a year. Of course, to the supporter of FAKS, such sums are INSIGNIFICANCE.

Thereafter, FAKS changed its name to AirAsia X Sdn Bhd and it was allowed to keep the Air Operation Certificate until this day despite the irresponsible acts of cannibalization of aircraft for spare parts and causing 6 other aircraft to be un-airworthy. Thereafter, IArAsia X Sdn Bhd was rewarded with international routes to compete with MAS. To date it was rewarded with more than 38 international routes but operates only 13. Now that it has given up London, Paris and Munbai leaving only 10 routes. Are you trying to tell us that all these are insignificance and the Government should carry on to support a private limited company to compete with our national airlines, MAS. Further, we should support the said secret share suap and CCF. And to agree with Khazanah exercising the option to purchase 10% of AirAsia X Sdn Bhd when Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar has openly declared that the said 10% option to purchase was a DODGY DEAl!

The “off limit” does not apply to me but you. I hope that you will reveal your identity and address then I will enter into a debate with you on matter concerning Tan Sri Tajudin Ramli. IF you dare not do so for reasons best known to you, I will, of course, respect your decision and leave the matter as it were.

Thank you.

With kindest regards

Jasper,

Sorry if you are one of the unhappy readers, I was trying to make people understand what MAS may be able to learn from AA (including AAX) in operational matters. You and the whole rakyat also 'curious' how different business model (LCC) could be adopted by MAS. I guess, operationally almost none! (Referring to the list 1 to 10 above and examples in chedet blog ).

1. It is not an issue to 'technical people' but the very same curiosity should be directed to Mahathir. 99 wrongs and another 1 wrong does not mean all right. The issue is not 1 but 100, so it is big.

2. Moral has no value in certain type of business. Ethically right is non comparable to 'technically' right. Premium is not LCC, agree not to compare?

3. Caveat emptor is applicable whenever the seller is not actively conceal or continuously mislead things. I am suggesting AA must continue charging check-in fee for international flights, the Australians do not even know how to pronounce caveat emptor – make more money whenever technically possible. Likewise, charge Malaysians forever – they never heard of caveat emptor.

Then, we should agree on actual issue in MAS is not the operations but management. The iniquitous share-suap is not necessary in the CCF. Selling (cheap sale) of properties/subsidiaries does not require managers with Oxbridge certificates but graded staffs with Sijil Rendah Pelajaran like me. It will be morally great if AA people in MAS giving lesson how to 'manage a premium airline' without spinoff anything!

YB Wee

You have “dodged” all the points raised by Skilly, choosing instead to push your own pet hates and red herrings.

Why have you not focussed on the Tajudin Ramli imbroglio, for starters?

The alleged amounts thrown around there reduce anything allegedly incurred by AirAsia into insignificance.

Are there some issues that are “off limits” to you?

Hearing of the case filed by ACCC against AirAsia has been fixed for 2-3-2012. I afraid that there is no updates on the said hearing. I am still checking on the matter. As soon as I received the news I shall post it here.

Thank you.

I am curious – are AirAsia’s business and customer service policies any different from those adopted by other LCCs, e.g. Ryanair, Southwest Airlines, Jetstar, Tiger Airways, Lion Air, Cebu Pacific or Indigo?

If they aren’t, then why make it a big issue?

And on what bases are you comparing full service “premium” airlines against their LCC cousins?

After all, I know exactly what I am getting if I choose to fly SIA, SilkAir or Tiger Airways.

It’s “caveat emptor”, dude.
