TF didn’t tell the whole truth about AirAsia X & RAS

One not telling the truth and the other condoning it!

Below was what Tan Sri Tony Fernandes had been reported to have said as reported by the Star on 26-4-2007 when the then Minister of Transport, Datuk Chan Kong Choy, announced that FAX/AirAsia X Sdn Bhd had to return the Rural Air Services (RAS) in Sabah and Sarawak to MAS.

“Fernandes said FAX would be launching AirAsia Long Haul operations soon, and that it would be too distracting to operate turbo-propeller aircraft as well.”

Antara kelemahan yang diperhatikan adalah marina yang telah lama disiapkan masih tidak beropersasi dan dimanfaatkan mengikut objektif pembinaannya; kemudahan yang dibangunkan memlebihi keperluan serta bangunan dan peralatan tidak disenggarakan dengan baik.

Adalah didapati Jabatan tidak memulakan operasi marina sebaik sahaja projek disiapkan di Marina Muar, Pulau Toman dan Tanjung Gemok hanya beroperasi antara tempoh 1 hingga 4 bulan selepas ia disiapkan. Marina di Kuala Kedah, Pulau Mentagor dan Pulau Indah pula masih belum beroperasi semasa lawatan Audit dijalankan pada bulan Ogos dan Oktober 2009.”
