This is normal. Publicity/hype first then …
As usual acquisition get wide coverage in the Star but not a word about no approval for the acquisition has been reported by Star. Most probably the Editor was not aware of such adverse news! ka! KA! KA!
I don’t buy The Star or any newspapers regularly for that matter but it would be worthwhile noting how much AirAsia advertises in The Star print and/or online editions. Also whether it is available on board AirAsia flights.
Advertisers are one of the biggest killers of media freedom, since a media will most probably not want to upset its advertisers, especially now when print circulation is dropping and newspapers are facing tough times with earning revenue.
Despite all the rhetoric about the media being the Fourth Estate, yada, yada, yada, the bottom line is that journalism is constrained by the hands which feed it and woe betide media which bites that hand.
the pariah advertise so much in the Star that Wong Chun Wai invited him into the board of the STAR.
See how ex UMNO President M.. help to become billiona9ir and rich..hehe
Strange no one in the blog spheres knows that AirAsia is part of the Star through the pariah…
haiyaaa…. that pariah interest won’t last longer laaa….
Totally agree Hassan. And how many times have we heard about the AAX listing?? Berapa kali postpone da..
Dear Gempaq Keling,
The AAX listing delay is not the Pariah’s fault. It is the fault of MAB and MOT. If you don’t believe me, please ask the former MITI Minister yang dah nyanyuk tu?
Pariah is Mr perfect, thats why Najib and Nazir trust him.
It is not going to be plain sailing for the pariah in Indonesia. He will definitely not get what he has been getting in Malaysia. For a start he will not get the Indonesia airport authority to allow him to owe airport tax for days let alone for years like what happened in Malaysia during the Slumber Jack days.
when KLIA2 in operational, just close down LCCT. See what the pariah is going to do. Lets see what the Star can help him to hype out with more stories.

Of course the editor of the Star will never knew anything adverse about AirAsia! They only know how to publish distorted news about it. It has been a long time that the Star has been doing this. Just look at the stories about MAS before the share SUAP. Only the negative stories that MAS is going to collapse and AA was doing very very well. Once day the editor will have to eat his words!
We all know very well how Indonesia “loves” Malaysia. They called us malingsia, and maling means curi in Indon language. When they claimed we curi their culture, and mistreated their workers, that followed with numerous demonstrasi both in Jakarta and KL, I don’t think it would be smooth sailing for TF in Indonesia. Now, they will claim that we curi their airline pulak. You see, Indonesia cannot see Malaysia lebih than them. See the football match or even the SEA games and how they treated us. Good luck TF. Don’t be surprised if the Indons demo in front of your office in Jakarta.
I am sure that the Pariah can solve all the problems in Jakarta like what he had done in Malaysia under when Slumber Jack was the PM. Lets wait and see what he is going to do. padan muka!!!
At last the Star had published about the Batavia. Of course, after pondering about it for a few days. May be it had no choice as it has already published in YB’s blog.
On another matter, the Clueless AJ is just as blur as before. He is a bit better now because he has not given the pariah more of MAS routes like what he did before>Bandung, Haneda and, of course, Sydney. AJ will tell us that Sydney is not a profitable route like Bandung.
This clueless fella has big ego but small brain. That is the problem. He has now taken over the position of Nanny Danny where no one in MAS like him. But he will hang on with buta RM250,000 a month!
not so plain sailing now in indonesia it seems….
The Pariah thought that the Slumber Jack and son are controlling Indonesia and he can do what he wants. Unfortunately, there is no Slumber Jack there to comfort the Pariah.
I bet you the Indon will tell the Pariah to fly kite – “Now Everyone Can Fly A Kite!” Padan muka for the pariah. He deserves it. There are no little Napoleons in Indonesia like we have in Khazanah and MAS.
