Below are the TWO e-mails by En Ahmad Jauhari Yahya (AJ) Group CEO of MAS,wherein he announced the acceptance of the resignation of

  1. If it is true that Rashdan was maligned and villified in blogsphere, how come he or MAS did not for one SINGLE time issue a rebuttal or clarification statement? Surely with all his money and with the MAS machinery (including STRATEGIC Comms) behind him, Rashdan could have easily rebutted all the statements that allegedly “maligned and villified” him? Or could it be that he or AJ could not
    resort to rebuttals because the statements in blogsphere were all true? Any fool can tell you that in cyberspace, if you do not respond or react in 24 hours to anything written, you would have lost the opportunity to do so,and whatever is written , in all probability, will be taken as truth.So much for all the CON-sultants around, ini basic punya hal pun tak tahu nak handle ke? Instead, both these idiots choose to resort to witch-hunting and veiled threats and waste God-knows-how-much of MAS money trying to hunt down staff who leaked information. Hey,
    if things are done transparently with MAS best interests in mind, staff will not need to resort to the blogs. But as most staff who have attended any of the Townhalls or “engagement” sessions will confirm, all you get is BS when qerstions are asked. Why bother holding an “engagement” session in the first place, when there is absolutely nothing engaging or productive about it?
    Now, once again, either AJ or STRATEGIC Comms idiocy is once again proven with these two emails issued within two hours. My goodness, this simple communication also cannot get it right first time? And, BRAVO, does AJ think that these two emails will make things better or rebuild staff’s trust in him? Of course NOT! If anything, it will alienate staff further. Can’t he and the Comms people do anything right for once?

    • the two emails make it obvious that they never think things over properly in everything they do – if even stuff like messages to staff also can be “reworded” so easily. what integrity are they talking about? what credibility?
      MALU WEI!

  2. Quandry

    YB,

    Rashdan out, now for the rest of the BOD to be replaced by wise, knowledgeable & forthcoming new members. Hopefully with sufficient insight into this airline business vis-a-vis Malaysia’s geography & aviation needs with unquestionable integrity & foresight. This is the really hard part because only an able PM advised by a very good set of advisors can decide! There lies the quandry.

    If the remaining BOD is maintained, god help us.

  3. AJ must have been sleeping. In denial as well. Maklumlah orang tua nih with selective memory. He remembers the late nights with Danny on the business plans. Hey, I did the same in university burning the midnight oil writing a business plan, copying from the Internet, then presenting it to the world as an academic brilliance… not even worthy of an MBA! Sounds like the dynamic duo kan? The maid upgrader was so much bombarded in the Internet with CLEAR EVIDENCE of the voyage report and yet AJ and the bloody board says he’s without fault……..praises the lil guy some more! Wah, cam ni pun blh. Malu lah, inikah produk Malaysia?! Majulah bangsa elite. One day you will see your fall. If not in this life it’ll be in the after-life and then it’ll be ten-folds!

  4. hahhahaahh….well-whacked YB. I think AJ is very careful with his reputaiton at stake for condoning Danny’s upgrading.

  5. I just can’t imagine a group CEO can send out e-mail in such a manner when the facts are so clear that Nanny Danny is a hopeless case. nanny Danny can only survive in Khazanah as long as Tan Azman is around.

    A group CEO needed two e-mail to defend a useless bump. What hope has MAS got with such a CEO? A CEO a needed a half past six Nor Zalida to damage control for him.

    AJ just throw in the white flag. Your are a goner in MAS. No MAS will ever respect you. There was no need for you to defend Nanny Danny to such an extend when he was caught with the Voyage Report.

    The Board of Directors is a non starter any way. You have a bunch of idiots in there too. Hopeful they will disappear on 21 June after the MAS AGM.

    AJ is just a laughing stock for MAS. A real Gaji Buta. The CEO of the Panamera Deadwood Department.

  6. mau cari makan maaa…hentam nanti tak boleh makan byk2..
    we hv to admit that danny controlling “kek” distributions … by doing so “kipas” is vital for surviving….

    frankly…
    the government really don’t mind since PR having the same problem. PR loosing support from the Malay …and Chinese are gettin more confuse…what to do…everybody are making money…the bar council are bias and loosing support from their own lawyers….

    who to choose for d next GE…
    I have no idea…

  7. hahaha I LOVE the part where AJ says “he (Danny) helped me identify new talents in our senior management team and assisted in their recruitment too”. Now, let us see who these “talents” are – Shane Nolan, Rozman, Azahari, Zahrah Zaid? Maybe even AJ himself, since Danny came in first? Some talent.
    YB, this should be added to Danny’s list of “achievements” too!

  8. Aiya… that second email just to ‘boost/recommend’ Danny Nanny for his next boss ar… TF maybe… hahahahaha.

    YB, are u sure that 2nd. email straight from AJ???

  9. Just look at AJ’s track record, for the past 9 months wtf have he done for MAS, ZERO performance except “burning midnight oil” with Nanny Danny how to help AAX and AA instead of MAS. I have never heard that an airline will ever give up route that was given to it. AJ is the only CEO that will do it.

  10. I couldnt’t believe CEO of MAS telling everybody he ‘Burning the midnight oil together’ . #@$%$# u la… U punya gaji berapa ….some people getting paid few thousand dollars pun tiap tiap hari burning midnight oil …seriously he and his adviser especially communication director low class. If this guy still in MAS for next two years …Malaysian please take note that Danny will be arranging another sukuk in 2015 …sayonara MAS..betul cakap Outysed the box GLC’s CEO dunggus.

  11. Biasalah kita memuji kehebatan orang yang dah nak meninggalkan kita..itu tindakan harus dipuji, kita perlu bersangka baik sesama manusia…

    Senarai kehebatan si Danny yang YB sebutkan mungkin tak cukup..mungkin ada banyak lagi yang belum YB senaraikan dan perlu di senaraikan juga, mungkin maklumat YB tak cukup..

    Kebimbangan AJ pasal kebocoran maklumat sulit syarikat juga ada kebenarannya..semua ini penting supaya syarikat terus berdaya saing.

    Tapi tak pe..semua itu boleh di atasi dengan AJ melantik lagi consultant untuk tolong senaraikan kehebatan si Danny dan juga mencari jalan menyekat kebocoran maklumat sulit..biar parlimen tak boleh nak persoalkan…bayaran tiada masalah.

    Tapi aku cadangkan pihak consultant itu mesti datang dari..SPRM atau suruhanjaya diraja… harap AJ terima cadangan ini!

  12. I have been reading this article for awhile now. This is getting very interesting and like it’s planned for. All the next move is very predictable. All I can say is that the cronies are squezzing the airline dry…
    Anyway, thanks to WCK for this interesting site.
    Keep up the good work to expose the infidels…

  13. AJ is on ego trip and suffering from denial syndrome. What a CEO who had to rely on the half baked Nor Zalida Ahmad to do the so-called damage control by praising that Nanny Danny. The useless fella.

    AJ, please use your brain to think for the moment whether you are really fit to hold the post of Group CEO of MAS?

    You are just as disgraceful as that nanny Danny.

  14. Poor AJ got whacked for nothing. Just to defend another crony. He had now put himself in the limbo in MAS. Lost of respect. How to get co-operation. He can ask and ask and no one will give him except the cronies who are leaving one by one.

  15. YB,
    Can anyone pls confirmed that the evening slot flight into Hong Kong by Mas was swap with AA midnight flight. It happened during the share SUAP. As a tour agent, its not feasible to use midnight flight because hotel usage will be wasted and it will cost Mas to lose their passengers. Thanks YB

  16. It will be very interesting from now onwards. Newspaper reports said that Rozman will be leaving MAS and rejoining AirAsia and Bernard Francis will also be rejoining Airasia. All this will be announced next Monday when TF reveals his management team from Asean and regional set ups.Those who left MAS with bitter feelings will definitely want sweet revenge. So MAS have to buckle up to show the world that they can turnaround without these so called brilliant people.

    It’s also interesting to note that whilst PM Najib had used his magical wand to instruct the unwinding of the share suap, he also said in the papers today that the CCF failed because there was no cooperation from the employees/unions. Oucchhh….that hurts PM. Now now, don’t you put the blame on the employees pulak.

    But my dear MAS management, please revisit your fares. They are high compared with other carriers. And your planes are not as new as your competitors. How many fly on the front end? Even most companies now have a policy for staff to travel economy class for flight less than 6 hours. I believe MAS senior management also practise the same. Even compared with other full service carriers, you fare is still high. Just like Tan Sri Aziz said in a newspaper report, the travel pattern has changed from the past 10-20 years ago. FSC must compete with LCC.

    My analogy is simple: How many actually do their grocery shopping at Mercato@Pavillion or Cold Storage? And how many flock the likes of Giant, Tesco, Carrefour? Even the rich go to these hypermarts because they get what they want. They may not be able to find a RM25 pack of cheese but they get a RM14 pack of cheese that tastes about the same. So, revisit Firefly’s operation. It used to give a good competition to Airasia. And MAS, please do improve on your customer service on the ground and in flight. Tolonglah jangan pilih bulu. Bila mat salleh je baru nak layan lebih2. The last I checked, a smile still doesn’t cost a thing even to fellow Malaysians.

    • Yea MAS ground crew are generally less polite in most of my encounters while one of the flight crew begging passenger to buy items from “temptations” magazine to meet up his own sales quota.

      Please learn from Korea Airlines crew especially the ground crew, they are so polite and professional when dealing with customers.

    • Agree. MAS fare is damn expensive. What really upset me is that MAS claimed they have new aircraft ie A380 for the London sector and because of that customer must be wiling to pay more. Well, i’ve got news to you AJ. Pay more my ASS!!! I rather use SQ or Emirates which has lower fare, better inflight entertainment, better food, better aircraft and more baggage allowance.
      To AJ and other MAS management, if you want to retain your customer, please be competitive. We do not expect a cheap fare but at least must be competitive with other premium airlines. Jangan syok sendiri !!!

  17. Before sucked up to the Pariah. Now to Nanny Danny. Disgraceful AJ.

    What have been published have not been denied by Nanny Danny or AJ himself. WTF are you talking about Nanny Danny has been vilified and maligned in blogsphere?

    You are he same? You have not denied that you have gave up MAS Sydney route to AA X? You signed the RA with the lowest of the low fares never before in MAS history. You never denied that also.

    MAS sent out e-mail at midnight on 18-3-2012 to say that you have signed the RA when the RA was dated 28-3-2012. Don’t tell us that you and the Pariah signed the RA just past midnight!

    Soon you will say that you have been also vilified and maligned. Just pack you things and get lost. You bring shame to MAS with your two e-mails within 2 hours.

  18. AJ should have been advised that retraction of an email that lengthy is a no-no, whether it’s within two hours or two days. The impression created is that AJ did not have a free hand in the messaging. Staff reading both will make comparisons. It seems like the Board chairman was not happy with the first email because the board’s endorsement of Danny and his “sterling” character and performance did not come across strong enough. Notice how that part was padded up in the second email ? AJ should have had the strength of conviction to stand by his first email. The Board sentiments can be expressed in another email which can be sent closer to the date of Danny’s actual departure. Poor AJ is not getting the right ‘strategic’ advice in messaging.

    • Bettina, you are absolutely right, because that was exactly the impression I got, that AJ was just parroting. In any case, this is so classic AJ – saying so many much but in the end saying nothing at all. He is the same in engagement sessions, giving wishy washy responses that gives staff the impression he does not know his stuff at all or worse, that he is LYING.How can he ever hope for staff to take him seriously? Not to mention how pathetic Strategic Comms is , simple rules of engagement and communication they cannot advise on? Or perhaps they are equally clueless too?

  19. Aiyoo YB!!,

    I think we should add another ‘A’ to the AJ initials so that it will be ‘AAJ’ for”Agak-Agak Juga that would better describe his always uncertain personalities.

    Obviously, he is just another flip-flop overpaid dunggu who issue one after another misrepresentation, whether its a so-called ‘Business Plan’ or ‘news release’.

    How is the staff to be motivated by such flip-floping leaders?

    • Pak Belalang, if there is one thing MAS staff will forever remember AJ for, its this – the flip-flopping. His indecisiveness is now becoming quite legendary. So what have we now? The clueless (AJ) leading the confused (staff). What a mess. And when his plans all go down the drain, he still got a convenient excuse – Unions and staff NOT cooperative! This is the same song he has sold to the government and PM – semua tak boleh jalan becauseUnions dont want change. How convenient! Hello, if CHANGE means selling your beloved Company short (like the RA), you expect the Unions (which by the way represent THOUSANDS of staff) to cooperate? Who’s stupid here?

  20. AJ’a skin must be thicker than the elephant’s skin. Disgraceful. Please get lost from MAS as soon as possible and join Rashdan in Khazanah. Then Aj can do what he likes there. As long as he is in MAS we will expose about his nonsense.

    We have not a single bit of respect for this brainless fella. He is not fit to be the Group CEO. Not even to fit to clean toilets in MAS. Please resign and join AA. that is the best place for you.

  21. It is a clear AJ’s normal flip flopping. He was trying to please Nanny Danny as though Nanny Danny was paying his salary and perks. What is so great about Nanny Danny that worth Aj two e-mails to praise him?

    It was becasue AJ himself is just another Pariah.

  22. Well Done YB…
    i think its a culture…its who u know..la…i overheard the staff talking n i think its would be worth for YB to look at all the “carcass” that a certain EVP trying to cover…
    a certain executive known as J.E. has a file(misconducts) higher that Edgar Hoover was still freely doing as he wishes..wt the help of certain EVP….name consist of Binti Dato Ali..
    compare to what that NANNY BOY did u will be amazed…
    just ask any MAS Cabin Crew who J.E. is n u will get all the exclusives….
    Good luck n Good Hunting..

  23. siapa ni AJ? never heard of him before he join MAS…Idris Jala last time we all know he was a good leader in Shell Malaysia…poor AJ…

  24. Aj is the worst MD MAS ever had. No MD has been shown to be behave like him. Sending out 2 e-mail just to praise an idiot like Nanny Danny. No MD sent out e-mail at midnight to say that RA has been signed when it was only signed in the day. His communication skill is zero. He should be the MD of a health club provided they want him.

    Just pack up and save himself and his family of the embarrassment like what happened to his mentor Nanny Danny.

    • Kenny, Danny is not AJ’s mentor. Both these idiots have Tony F as their “mentor”. AJ has said that he regret the cancellation of the Share Swap because now cannot get “advice” from his good friend Tony. Tony also confirmed in his STAR interview he can now pick up the phone and call AJ anytime! For all these two idiot’s qualifications, they still fall hook, line and sinker to be conned by Malaysia’s biggest c.n-man.But we must not forget this c.n-man has many “powerful” people behind him or in his pocket, which he confirm when he told MAS staff “BRIBERY works in Malaysia”. Thats why he got the guts to take on MAB and everybody else. But, we must remember, “sepandai-pandai tupai melompat, jatuh ke tanah juga”. Its only a matter of time .

  25. Prior to AJ that pariah is a perona non grata in MAS. Idris Jala has banned him from flying MAS as he never respect MAS. Only AJ will dance to his tune. Hence the lowest fare ever before charged to AAX, give away MAS additional route to the Pariah. AJ better get out before it is too late.

  26. I had and would never fly LCC due these LCC people are all suicidal (not to mention big conman)

    See proof below.

  27. Come on YB,no one is perfect in writing – so what’s the big deal? I do hope everyone will be happy now since Danny is out of MAS,so who is next? It appears no one can leave MAS alone,seriously as a public citizen,I have great pity on MAS.

    Enough of the bashingla,let’s move on and give these guys a break.They have been tormented enough since the episodes came to open, and as Malaysians,we need not behave so evil and cruel by bashing them too much.Don’t forget we and our famiies travel on MAS too,so think the good things MAS have done for us,connecting us all around and flying us safely to our destinations.

    After all,these guys were given the tasks by the Govt,so go shoot those fellas who may not see things clear enough.

    I kinda believed MAS will turn around again soon enough without anyone interefering. Just my humble opinion YB.

  28. Tengku Yusof

    Nanny Danny departure is good riddance to rubbish. He should not have been put into MAS but his master needed him to screw up MAS.

    Aj is another one. It was not about bad writing but brainless writing. Not fit to be the CEO. Memalukan MAS. AJ is most suitable to be appointed to any position in the Pariah;s airline. AJ has a low cost mentality more suitable for low cost airline and he can carry the pariah balls to the hilt and no one is going to complain about it.

    AJ please pack up and disappear let have a more uistable person to take on hte responsibility. Anyone will be better than AJ.

  29. AJ is the most disappointing CEO MAS ever had. His main objective was just to suck up to Nanny Danny and that Pariah. It is just incredible a man with no backbone. Shameless. Do you really need to praise that Nanny Danny to such height with two e-mails?

  30. Dear YB –

    I don’t get it… when a person is not wanted anymore, vilified, hated, loathed…(for whatever other reasons), why the heck do they still hang on to their post. Which brings me to the next question – as to HOW THE HECK DID THESE PEOPLE get their post in the first place… Did they apply for the job? Were they qualified enough?

    Seriously speaking ~ if you look at any other post (in MAS) ~ from the cleaners to the cabin crew and even the pilots – they all had to apply for the job and had to sit for the interviews to be employed. Qualified ? Yes… and they get the job… here instead we have directors that have no HEAD OR TAIL (clueless!) knowledge of aviation and travel industry experiences , and they get parachuted into a position with perks. How very nice…

  31. lol yall are so dumb seriously. You have not worked with Danny, you dont know how capable he is. Keep on bashing him with your sub 3k salaries while he is taking on c-suite positions. MAS lost someone great that could really bring the group forward.
