36 thoughts on “AirAsia’s “Spokewoman” Done It Again”

  1. It’s the famous Tony Fernandes diversion tactic, perfected by the Nazis during the war.

    When the going gets tough, he will create feel-good stories to deflect the heat onto other things that position AirAsia positively.

    Seeing that he has a half-past six Communications Team, who go into hiding when they are needed most, the fearless keypad warrior has no choice but to rely on the likes of BK Sidhu, Cynthia Blemin at The Edge and their ilk to help him “get out of jail”. All these in exchange for a few crumbs, some ads and empty promises of “scoops” in the future. This is what has become of journalism (sorry, I should say, reporting) in Malaysia. There are only a handful of journalists left in Malaysia.The rest are mercenary reporters who carrying out their “masters” requests to a T.

    Every time, BK Sidhu quotes sources, she’s receiving information from the keypad warrior and/or one or two of TFs trusted ball carriers. Therefore, lets take all her “source” stories with a handful of salt. She’s no longer relevant. Even her bosses seem to agree and have “promoted” her to desk duties. Let barking dogs bark.

  2. She is shameless otherwise she will not be doing all these nonsense. She has no professionalism. She is a mercenary of the worst kind. She is the ‘tak malu” type. This article serves a warning to her and her boss in the Star. She had misled the investing public that AirAsia X IPO will be over subscribed by 5 to 6 times. This was most unfair to the public and led them to believe AirAsia X is a good investment. By the way AirAsia X share par value is only 15 Sen and the IPO was RM1.25 which was about almost 8 times. She is only doing a great job for tony and AirAsia. Anything adverse about MAS, she will whack but not on AirAsia. She should be sacked for her mischief.

  3. BK Sidhu is a mercenary and she will sell her soul. This is the editor of Business Star. Everybody in the Star Business that he is like a dog to Tony Fernandez. When Tony snapped his fingers, BK Sidhu will run for life to Tony. If Tony were to say “Jump”, BK Sidhu will respond “How high, Boss?”. I hope the top executives of Star will read this posting so that they will know what type of shit is editor of Star Business.

  4. Don’t expect BK Sidhu the gutter journalist to highlight this:

    http://www.therakyatpost.com/business/2015/01/28/spring-airlines-asias-valuable-budget-carrier/

    And I am sure where AA fails, BK Sidhu wont be there:

    http://centreforaviation.com/analysis/vanilla-air-and-all-nippon-airways-deploy-dual-brand-strategy-on-tokyo-hong-kong-route-196025

    Folks, Vanilla Air is ANA’s new reincarnation of AirAsia Japan that failed:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirAsia_Japan

    Look how well they are doing in a highly competitive Japanese market without losers like effing Tonies around. Within 6 months they have hit he 1 million mark:

    http://centreforaviation.com/profiles/airlines/vanilla-air-jw

    something whining Tony never achieved in his disastrous outing in Japan. Apa macam Bk Sidhu?

    • The pariah thought that Japan an easy meat for him to push around. When he tried to pull his weight around, the Japanese showed him two fingers. They told him to FO.

      AirAsia X is almost in the shit and AIrAsia itself will not last that long. Everyone know that AIrAsia hasd no fundamental. It depends on mercenary like BK Sidhu to provide positive publicities and cover up the bad ones. But the Pariah could not cover up the crashed of QZ8501 and he coujld not control the Minister of Transport and Mayor of Surabaya. That was his problems.

      If it happened in Malaysia, he could just put that pondan Liow Tiong Lai in the pocket and take him for a good ride around the world and back. Liow will just say Yes to the Pariah. It is a sad case.

  5. The Malay Mail online reports.

    It will be interesting to know why the pilots did this.

    ======================

    JAKARTA, Jan 30

    • As a known mercenary and she has been doing the dirty job for so long, she should be proud of herself to be the “spokewoman”. She should be even more proud that her propaganda on AIrAsia X IPO that will be oversubscribed by 5 to 6 times turned out be false. Now teh share price is only 65 Sen. I just can’t believe that a journalist would stoop so low to prostitute herself to such an extend.

  6. She’s also livid that a much younger and extremely capable editor from a rival daily put one up over her (again) by having a firmer story and getting the date of Azran’s departure correct. One up for The Sun and Sun Biz!

    http://www.thesundaily.my/news/1308025

    Wish you guys could see her trying hard (and failing miserably) to get Tony and his ilk to talk to her and give her another “scoop” after missing out on Azran’s departure. The only scoop Beekay will be receiving anytime soon, is a scoop for her to lift poo off her face.

    Can’t wait to hear how she justifies missing out on details to an important story to her bosses, especially after her “contributions” to AirAsia and AAX.

    Just reaffirms the talk of the town that the only truth printed The Star are the Obituaries.

    BeeKay should join AirAsia’s PR team. Both are equally incompetent and often miss the point.

    The World’s Best Airline needs Malaysia’s best PR spokeswoman.

  7. The goes to show how TF/AA uses you if it’s to his benefits and screw you if you are not.. Not giving her the news of the departure of Azran…
    The operational SOP of AA is working on the same modus operandi!!

  8. To be fair, one has to consider several possible factors before one denounces BK Sidhu.

    Whilst Tony Fernandez is listed on the Board of Director of Star Publications Bhd in its 2012 Annual Report, he no longer is in its latest 2013 Annual Report which says that Tony resigned from the BoD on 19 November, 2013.

    So in theory Tony and AirAsia should no longer be a possible factors influencing reports in The Star about AirAsia, Tony Fernandez and his other interests.

    However his personal relationship with top management and remaining directors of Star Publications could still influence what the paper reports and thus tie the tounges of its editors and reporters.

    Also check out how many Air Asia advertisements The Star carries, since no media will want to lose its advertisers, especially when faced with the current challenges of falling revenue and profits in mainstream media, especially newspapers these days, in the face of competition from blogs and other websites online.

    According to Star Publications’ 2013 annual report, its group revenue was RM1,025,330,000 (RM1.025 billion) in 2013, down about RM54 million from 2012 and its profit was RM139,416,000 (RM139.4 million) down from about RM200,7 million in 2012 or about RM61 million down.

    Company revenue was RM748.8 million in 2013, down from RM792.64 million in 2012, whilst company profit was RM158.7 million in 2013, down from RM239.3 million in 2012 or RM80.6 million down.

    Earnings per share was 19.36 sen in 2013, down from 28.18 sen in 2012.

    The above figures are for all the groups operations in Malaysia, SIngapore, the Middle East and other countries.

    In Malaysia, its revenue in 2013 was RM851.6 million, down from RM880.9 million in 2012.

    The group’s print and digital revenue across all geographies was RM758.2 million in 2013, followed by RM119.3 million for its event and exhibition units, RM55.98 million for its broadcasting units and RM9.98 million for its TV unit and RM11.36 million of its other units.

    If the profit continues to decline at the above rate, Star Publications could be in the red within two to three years.

    So with falling revenue and profit margins, it is highly unlikely that any media organisation would want to risk antagonising its advertisers.

    Many fail to realise that major advertisers are a bigger factor in curtailing media freedom than the government.

    In my 20 years in journalism, I have had to write positive reviews about an advertiser’s products in a magazine when I wanted to say that they are pieces of crap but could not.

    In short, the advertiser had the magazine and its writers by our testicles.

    • The Pariah is a friend of the ex-Md of the Star (Vincent Lee). One may be affected by that relationship but not to the extent of writing misleading article like AirAsia X IPO will be over-subscribed by 5 to 6 times. As a journalist, you may slant a story but you don’t give false information like this mercenary Sidhu.

      Further, when other airlines abolish fuel surcharge she didn’t further to lift her finger to write the very moment the low caste airline did it, she immediately wrote it.

      It is an open secret that she sucks up to Tony and you all should know why. HA! HA! HA!

  9. Its about time possible manslaughter charges are raised up against the owners of AirAsia as per the link above by Fence Sitter Voter. Flying on the day that is not permitted just raises so many questions. And if the verdict is otherwise, we will respect the judiciary process and decision. With fast depleting cash, which once Tony was bragging all around town, now apparently just below 1/4th of the 2 billion ringgit that he used to gloat about, the news will further add anxiety to AirAsia on using their cash as they have to install this new tracking system in every plane they have. Sometimes having the largest fleet does have its downside – http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2015/01/31/Commercial-flight-signal-every-minute/

    Tony, you may just face the wrath of another prominent Malaysian corporate figure who is not allowed into Indonesia (who’s sister you hired to run the academy) once Indonesian authorities complete their investigation. Theres only so much you can stretch the truth, perform a Houdini and do some smoke screen events, as eventually the truth will catch up and expose you. Some rats are already jumping off your blood, sweat and crocodile tears ship, you are going to start to realize, you dont have friends and those who were loyally working for you over the years, you chased them away as you were too blinded on others buttering you up, and your love for Mat Salleh ( whom you adore their presence) and your fear of confronting as you always want to be Mr. nice guy…..your high and mighty life end is near…..maybe back to selling music CD’s again? You reap what you sow…..

  10. The Fraud is in deep shit now period. A good but an expensive lesson for him. His so-called empire is collapsing like a house of cards. Bravo!!!!

  11. Before anyone starts to judge me, let me issue a disclaimer : This article was posted on my FB Wall. I never would waste my hard earned money on the garbage newspaper that calls itself The Star.

    The purpose of my post today is to share with all of you, how Nyanyok the spokeswoman is. One minute she’s glorifying the pariah for removing the fuel surcharge and in a matter of days, she’s singing a different tune.

    Is she trying to get back at AirAsia for spurning her on the Azran story. OR, she could be emulating her “boss” with a diversion tactic of her own, knowing she’s being widely and highly acclaimed in the digital sphere.

    She must be going Senile!

    I apologise beforehand to everyone if I have caused you eye irritation or made you puke by positing the link to this waffle by AA’s favorite PR lady.

  12. Last time Bee KY Sondhu and Tony eat tosai and capati together, now Tony denies eating any of those or together and claims his diet has always been fish and chips, kidney pie and bangers and mash, so obviously Bee KY Sondhu upset. She feels used and now understand thats how self proclaim anglo Indian operates, uses you and when you become off no use, he hangs you out to dry…..Its ok, Bee KY Sondhu, if anything, his mighty world and ways days are numbered when the relevant authorities finalises the QZ8501 report, already one law suit from France, from his ex AllStars 1st officer’s family and French court exploring possible manslaughter charges. Its ok Bee KY Sondhu, its better to have loved and lost your tosai and capati partner, then never have to loved your tosai and capati partner. Next time try to love Korean meals la Bee KY Sondhu, thats the flavour apparently with anglo indian…..

  13. A mercenary is to be used and dumped after had been used. BK Skdhu should be dumped into the toilet bowl. That’s thenplace she belongs to.

  14. Part 1

    These news items could well prove to be crucial smoking guns as to the cause of the crash.

    1. The Indonesian news magazine, Tempo, has apparently gained access to confidential documents that allude to maintenance issues :

  15. Part 2

    3. The French inquiry is procedural as per French law when one of its citizens are involved but it is interesting to note the co-pilot

    • Warrior 231

      I am not at all surprised to read that the crash may be due to maintenance issues. This is nothing now. I have read in YB’s blog that beofore AirAsia X original name was FAKS (Fly Asian Express Sdn Bhd). Within a short time of its incorporation, the 4th floor govt under Badawi gave RAS (Rural Air Services) for FAKS to operate in Sabah and Sarawak. It took RAD from MAS and gave it to FAKS. When they took over from MAs, all 24 aircraft were in good conditions. FAKS was given a saubsidy of about PRM250 million for two years operation. After taking it over for a year, 7 aircraft were grounded as un-worthy and one was used to canabalize for spare parts.

      After less than a year, the Sleepy Head had to ask MAS to take it back and FAKS was allowed to keep the RM250 mil subsidy. In a span of a few months, it changed its name to AirAsia X. Despite its bad track record with RAS where half the fleet was grounded due to in-airworthy, the Sleepy Head gave AirAsia X new AOC (air operation .certificate). This goes for the mintenance record of AirAsia X.

      In 2013 AirAsia itself was only given temporary AOC of 6 months because of safety issues.

      So it is already part of AirAsia’s records. I am not at all surmise. I don’t fly AirAsia because I am not prepared to risk my life contrary to the Pariah.s contetntion.

  16. Agreed Con Man Toni. Never flown the airline itself for obvious reasons. In fact, its non participation in IOSA accreditation should be reason enough and explains its absence from the list of safest LCC carriers here:

    http://www.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/article/airasia-lags-rivals-on-safety-scores-in-aviation-sites-ratings

    In fact, here is one reason why it is Qantas for me:

    http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/aviation/storm-detector-might-have-saved-doomed-airasia-flight-qz8501/story-e6frg95x-1227173043560

    or otherwise MAS on unserved routes (MAS in fact had a five-star rating for safety until MH370 came along, which I suspect is no fault of theirs, by the way)

    • Thanks to saudara Warrior for all the great inputs
      I was suspicious from the beginning when it was reported that an unfortunate AA technician was on board QZ8501. If I’m not mistaken, SIAEC are contracted to do the technical release & maintenance for their aircraft at SIN. Sending a technician on board may indicate that AA were aware of the problems on board the aircraft yet proceeded to fly anyway. Which is no surprise to the aircraft maintenance community in M’sia which know very well the lack of procedural commitment AA gives to safety matters.
      Remember the AA runway overshoots in KCH & BKI. To this date we have never seen the official DCA reports & from our observation of the incident photos, the most damning observation was that all the landing gear doors were open during the incidents, which indicate a total loss of hydraulic pressure which required an emergency landing gear extension procedure (using gravity). For a normal landing the landing gear doors should be closed.
      It is unfortunate that the M’sian authorities do not seem committed to investigating this as AA being M’sian so-called ‘icon’ (sic) & this whole QZ8501 affair will condemn the standards of M’sian aviation industry to oblivion, if not dealt wisely. Unfortunate for us to also have the crappy handling of the MH370 affair as well, now our aviation industry does not command the same respect it used to have previously, where MH used to have one of the best MRO in the region.
      Now it is unfortunate for MH Subang engineering facilities to be given the shut-down order by the powers that be, Thanks to AA interference. I hope that Saudara Wee can help bring this matter to the fore.

  17. It would appear that more and more shits are surfacing now. Lets see how that pariah Spin Doctor and his mercenary journalist BK Sidhu will do in the coming days. I can’t agree more that BK Sidhu is just shameless.

  18. Ho! Ho! Ho! AirAsia is going to have another X’mas very very soon. An airline stocked with aviation safety issues will deter passengers from it. With safety issues and then the crash of QZ8501, no one will dare to fly and risk their lives. I know Tony Fernandez, had said that if the fare is low enough, Malaysians are prepared to warisan their lives. Is AirAsia fares low? Not after all off the hidden charges are added up. So please compare the AA fares with other airline, the difference may not be that much if it is cheaper. Merry Xmas to Tony and his other directors for taking the passengers for a ride. The end is very near now.

    • Yes, X’mas comes early this year for the pariah. When the Indonesian government takes actions against AirAsia for the unauthorized flight QZ8501 that will be the greatest news for 2015! He has been fooling the passengers and the DCA for far too long.

  19. Now Arry Redknapp leaves Pariah -http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/555901/Harry-Redknapp-resignation-QPR

    Must have been sick and tired with Low caste pariah conman’s snake charmer stories and promises. Arry claims he needs immediate surgery on his leg. One would ask if that leg was thrust into where the sun dont shine for Pariah as Arry was frustrated. Apparently, Low caste Pariah Conman has been having troubles walking lately 🙂 Looks like not only QPR is going down for Pariah, the house of cards is falling swiftly for Pariahs other businesses as well. Looks like the days of speaking with a forked tongue is numbered for the claptrap Pariah. Your empire is crumbling…. Lets see if BK Seed-duh writes about this latest negative development in Pariah’s so called business empire. Caterham gone, Aura night club gone – http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/mayfair-nightclub-aura-faces-being-wound-up-over-unpaid-tax-bill-9676262.html

  20. It would appear that the pariah has stop tweeting his bullshit. Perhaps he now knew that Everyone Can Now Know His bullshits and he could no longer spin.

    When one had been surviving on hypes and publicities with the helps of the “prostitute” or mercenary at best like B K Sidhu thats mean that there is no fundamental in the outfits. No wonder the house of cards are falling apart in such a short span of time. The latest being the resignation of the QPR manager, who was abandoning the sinking ship.

    AIrAsia Indonesia is definitely sinking. AirAsia X is on the way to Timbuktu. AirAsia Philipine i believed to be already “gulling tikar”. AirAsia Bhd is crying foul because MAS is being competitive cutting their fares to stay in the market. The pariah thought that he is still living in the 4th floor era where MAS has been stifled to the extend where it had gave up more than 90 profitable routes to AIrAsia and at the same time MAS was not allowed to cutting fares. Have you heard that a company had been imposed by the 4th Floor Govt with “Floor Price”. In another words, MAS was not allowed to sell its fares below a certain level. This was how AirAsia was spoon fed.

    So Pariah please wake up. Its game over for you. Even your good friend Nazir Razak of CIMB could no longer help you because the shit hole in your AirAsia is too big.

  21. 1.I sometimes wish Malaysian regulators were more attentive to safety issues as their Aussie counterparts are being prodded to be here:

    Mr Sheldon criticised delays in making a preliminary report public and said leaked information suggested poor pilot training and regulatory failure.
    “AirAsia Indonesia is putting Australian lives at risk,” he said.

    2. Talking about safety, here is another look at AA QZ8501. Note the same focus on the FAC and the CBs as was the case in the Gerry Airways link I posted above:

    3. The sky is the limit as the saying goes but indeed there is a limit. With faltering sales and a tepid year in prospect, one wonders how long the bleeding will go on a major affiliate in Thailand :

    But then again, arses were kicked as early as August last year:
