  1. how long more do we have to endure these MFs, especially no-good SOB Azman Mokhtar .. i am so sick of that guy ..

    • The Nor Yakop / Tingkat Empat lots are still flying high every where. Khazanah, Maybank Investment, from Maybank to Cabinet and others to name a few. We must carry on to expose them until they realize that there is no room for their bullshit. Thank you YB for doing the job for us.

  2. Is AJ the CEO of MAS? Why was he taking instructions from the Pariah? YB you have forgotten to put a link where announcement of the ferrying agreement with AirAsia X was made at midnight and of course, the scandalous fare charged to AAX for a KL/London was RM111! Only the brainless CEO will agree to such a rate. AJ contract is coming to an end in 2014 and he is warming his seat and draw his salary otherwise he wouldn’t be making those stupid decisions during the share swap and to reverse them now.

  3. dubai-kl route is profitable i.e. arabs/visitors still throng and come to kl via dubai. but, not via mh vis-a-vis even since before mh terminated kul-dubai flights, people already chose emirates and etihad over mh. emirates/etihad offer better price, way better aircraft, wayyy better in-flight and traveling experience i.e. how would the arabs allow themselves to be cramped inside mh’s small economy seats, among other things

  5. What unprofitable route? AJ/Rashdan gave it away. Now he was making a U-turn. How stupid is the man. Not fit to be a CEO of MAS. He should join the Pariah.

  6. WOW WAU, you nailed this one. Great chronicle on MAS (read Malaysians) being cheated big time. Absolutely no rehab for stupidity. Thank you YB for your perseverance. If the Govt is smart, they should put you as MOT.

  7. Habis lagi duit KWAP and KWSP saudaraku,

    “The background of the way in which MAS terminated Dubai and other routes, and Firefly terminated international and domestic routes had to be revisited in order to appreciate the why there were endless

  8. AJ was led by the nose by his good friends Danny and Tony. May be the experts in Khazanah also told him what he should do. The decisions that he had made during the share suap were ill advised and thoughtless on AJ’s parts. MAS is suffering.

    Three main stupid decisions:

    1. Accommodating AirAsia X passengers at below cost fares,

    2. Giving up the profitable Sydney route to AirAsia X,

    3. wnet along with the decision to scale down Firefly operations.

    How silly can a CEO be. No CEO would agree to such stupid decisions. Good luck to you AJ. 2014 is at the corner. You can forget about your Business Plans.

    You better check on the Botak with regards to the maintenance contract with AirAsia. MAS DOES NOT NEED ANOTHER ONE SIDED CONTRACT LIKE THE 25 YEARS CATERING CONTRACT THAT COST MAS RM300 MILLION A YEAR.

    Wake up from your slumber AJ.

  9. AJ looks like an idiot in the press cutting. He terminated the Dubai, Italy/Rome and other routes a year or so ago based on unprofitable. The same for Firefly. Now he is doing the reverse. Not fit to be the CEO.

  10. Can MAS compete against Emirates on the KL-Dubai-KL route?

    I doubt it.

    If you analyse the traffic loads, there are more flights between Dubai and Singapore than there are between Dubai and KL?

    It’s a matter of flight frequencies and international connectivities.

    On the “Kangaroo route”, why would passengers choose to transit via KLIA when they can do so via Changi or Dubai?

    And for passengers from the UK or Europe heading for Asian destinations, there are plenty of direct flights from London or other European cities or from Dubai which is the main Emirates hub. Emirates can also fly passengers from Dubai and other Middle East and African cities to Singapore where they can connect to onward flights to destinations in Asia and Australia.

    So, what exactly is the “game changer” that MAS has in reinstating the KL-Dubai route?

    And KL is not exactly a “must visit” destination for passengers from the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, is it? Unlike, say, Bangkok, Hong Kong or Singapore.

    I think that this will be just another expensive miscalculation by MAS.

    It should just accept the fact that airlines like Emirates and SIA have passed it and left it in the dust, no thanks to multiple crises and bail outs.

    A Skytrax ranking of 14, anyone?

    • Strange. Facts are mentioned.

      Yet no responses or rebuttals.

      Maybe the “hard core” MAS apologists have run out of excuses. Or, maybe, their pointing fingers are having chronic fatigue syndromes!
