YB, a quick count, there is still another botak left in MAS.
Why the “botak” head? Must be a kind of branding exercise, yeah!
That engineering dept botak should follow the footstep of Al-Ishal and return to where he belongs AIrAsia.
He was planted in mas and Aj was so gullible to think that this fella is great. pandan muka. Aj please explain why did you give up the Sydney route that belong to MAS to AirAsia X. Are you the CEO of MAS or AirAsia X. Are you going AA X in the near future?
YB(Yang Berkhidmat) WCK,
Please help post and analyse the ROI of the various re-branding that the GLC seems to have so much penchant for. How much are the consultant fees? How much is returned to stakeholders. Often I feel is the CEO and BOD ‘syok sendiri’ exercise, or is it also a case of pocket sendiri?
The latest and what appear to be the most silly rebranding is to the Petronas logo!
Sickening. It appears everyone wants to put a hand in the government tilt… In this case through robbing MAS to enrich AA & AAX.
Wee.
You dont like Tony and AA.but they are the best talent in Airline.Otherwise how do they manage to sell Air Aias X shares from .15 sent to $1.40 IPO.
Do you think the International Investors a bunch of fool.
Ishak
I am sure that AA is the best talent in the aviation industry not only in Malaysia but throughout the world. So is Oasis in Hong Kong which folded up some two years ago. May be with no help from Cathay Pacific and/or the Hong Kong government in getting more routes from Cathay Pacific under Air Rationalisation Programe – Hong Kong has no such program only during Badawi Adminsitration in Malaysia. By the way, there is no Rural Air Service (RAS) scheme for Oasis too.
I hope that the international investors will buy up most, if not all, of the AAX IPO. I am equally sure that RM1.45 IPO price is a give away price. No doubt it will be over subscribed by at least 10 folds. It will no doubt make history in Bursa KL on it closing date on 19-6-2013.
Thank you
Wee Choo Keong
I support YB’s suggestion that the foreign investors should buy up all the AA X IPO since it is of blue chip standard. I best my bottom Ringgit that there will only a few foreign suckers will buy it. A company loaded with debt and needed IPO badly to survive or unload. Malaysians please stay clear from this shit. The GLCs too must stay clear. We know that Khazanah is closed to the people in AA X.
I also hope that the foreign investors will buy up all the IPO and Malaysians will not be burdened if it suffers the same fate as other low caste airlines that have collapsed in USA and India.
EPF and other GLCs must stay clear from this AAX IPO. There are other much better IPO. For a start Richard Brnason has pull out. Please also remember that all the original directors like Tony Fernandes, Kamarudin Meranun, Lim Kian Onn and Kalimullah bought their shares at 15 Sen. They will just sell after listing and got an immediate profit RM1.30. Malaysians will be left behind to carry the baby.
Thank you Ishak. We all believe you that AirAsia is very talented. As YB put it the special talent with the help of Slumberjack. AA must also thank Aj for giving up Sydney route of MAS to AA so that TF can brag.
Two more days to go for AA X IPO. Hope the foreign investors including ANA from Japan will buy up all the IPO so that Malaysians will be spared of the agony later. Hope you are buying the AAX IPo too. God bless you.
The share swap was to screw MAS. Thats why AA people have been put in strategic positions in MAS. Al-Ishal Ishak was just one of them. Thank God that Al Ishal Ishak had left MAS otherwise more re-braning exercise will be done. MAS will not be able to use any more red color because Tony has once said that red is exclusive to AA only. But MAS has been using red as its corporate color since its inception. Many years before AA came into the aviation picture in Malaysia.
Omar Ong is also in Petronas, War Room and advisor to the PM. THere is an allegation that he is also involved in the AES. Wow! WOW! WOW! No wonder everything is in a mess.
Al Ishal Ishak was the planted man in MAS during the share suap. He has no interest to look after MAS. He was taking instructions from the Pariah.
How can you defend Omar Ong YB? His name is now stink in the blog sphere. He is one of the Fourth Floor boys. His boss is the son-in-law and not Najib.
Whatever remnants of planted key personnel or ex-consultants still in the employment of MAS have to pull their weight for the benefit of the national carrier, the nation & all Malaysians. Witch hunts are irrelevant now, its survival & growth time. The BOD & AJ has to make do with each & everyone of the MAS workforce.
However, intense public scrutiny through all avenues including YB’s blog MUST CONTINUE as some sort of a check and balance.
To me, whatever is within the control of the BOD must be further enhanced and not compromised by unnecessary political pressure, within reason & logic. Catering needs to be improved & costs re-looked in earnest, if asset unbundling could be undertaken before, why not unwinding a totally lop-sided agreement. Engineering must not to compromised and must stay in-house for control. Privatizing is not a wise choice.
Lastly, MAS personnel was and is not without talent, key is to find (& quickly) a management style to release the latent talents (& experience) available. Just look at the demand by other carriers of former MAS staff. The last decade of external consultant led turnaround teams have little to show for it vis-a-vis the RM millions spent to hire them.
