If MH can get Y class product right, why can't they get J and F right too? .....
They didn't get it right for their 737 800 though..

The desires for a meal is much much higher for a hungry person than a full bloated one. So, is Malaysia hungry enough to want to be the top international airport in SEA, or perhaps Asia?
Singapore have sounded their intention, and we have just concluded the dead-line for the completion of KLIA 2, so what's next for Malaysia's airports?
KLIA Aeropolis.. The project is promising but needs a lot more publicity..

Every time I'm sitting in that J seat on the A330, I feel like slapping the people who chose them!
The sad thing is that it will probably be awhile before they refurbish their cabin or come up with new products..

Their stewardess will be called "Vanilla girls" then...

Happy to see MAS moving in the right direction.. From customer's point of view, hope for more products & services improvements, and more destination & frequency..

Looks like some ambitious plan for our neighbour..
The Singapore government unveiled a master plan on Sunday to double capacity at Southeast Asia's busiest airport, build a new waterfront city, move its massive port and relocate a military airbase to free up land for development.
The plan announced by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong follows mounting discontent in one of the world's wealthiest nations over an influx of foreign workers and expatriates blamed for a range of problems - from strained infrastructure to among the highest living costs in Asia.
The plan follows mounting discontent in one of the world's wealthiest nations over an influx of foreign workers and expatriates blamed for a range of problems
In an annual National Day address, Lee sought to allay those fears, elaborating on a trove of long-term plans that appear intended to counter a growing voter backlash against the People's Action Party (PAP) that has ruled Singapore for more than half a century.
These include changes to Singapore's health-care and education systems, and the move of its port - the world's second-busiest hub for container shipping - to a new location in Tuas in western Singapore from 2027. That would free up land in Tanjong Pagar, next to the central business district, for a sprawling new waterfront city, Lee said.
He also unveiled plans for a fourth runway at Changi Airport, Southeast Asia's busiest. This will allow the government to move a military airbase in central Singapore to Changi after 2030 and free up 800 hectares (1980 acres) of land for homes, factories and businesses....Read more -
The book isn't Badawi's - it is just a commentary about his time in govt. as PM.
Of course, it wasn't written by him personally. It was written by staunch supporters of Anwar Ibrahim.

AJ has done a great job but the political master is not ......... It is time to shed all the lobsided long term contract which involved cronies ......... Unfortunately, it will not happen !!! ........
You are probably right.. The political cronies will stay, at least for awhile more..
We know Badawi has his hands in food catering for MH, I understand on a lopsided contract. Pakatan was supposed to be fighting against this abuses.. But then again, we heard none other than Nurul Izzah was supposed to launch Badawi's book "Awakening". Bedfellow now??
There is no permanent friend or foe in politic.. Just power and money..

With cheap electricity from Bakun dam, many industries is viable. The question is who and how many could secure cheap power supply?
There are a couple of heavy industries currently building their factories in SCORE.. How they progress will be important as other investors will be looking.. If they are successful, more will follow suit..
As someone from Sarawak, I'm hoping that it will be successful..
-
I can't imagine any smart companies would wanna come in when portions of their earnings have to go to someone's pocket.
Well.. Time will tell if SCORE will be successful or not...
On the other hand, if Malaysians themselves tell everyone how bad and stupid it is to invest in Sarawak, it won't help either..
-
Sarawak's gameplan is not so much eco-tourism, but industrialization... They are banking on SCORE to achieve that..

Will the MH CEO take the public bus to work and eat at staff canteen??
There is no need for him to take bus to work or eat at staff canteen... He is paid for strategy and leadership..
So I think MH leadership should be given the free handle how to steer the airline.
People keep on forgetting history. Rewind back to 2006, RAS, Fly Asian Xpress. Those who remember that part of history will never agree to 2011 share swap.
Yes, Firefly jet too gone.. Now semipremium, semibudget segment is filled by Malindo...
-
The gov doesn't have to sell share in MH.. They can have as much as they want but just leave the management and leadership to do what needs to be done.
-
Yes, incorrect choice of partners and excessive government interference are the causes the their failures. Now, we have to watch AirAsia India too. That might fail as well - government and other political interference seems to be slowing down their launch date...
Air Asia is where it is today partly thanks to gov interference, but interference in their favour of course...
BTW did Japanese gov interfere with Air Asia Japan?
-
I wonder how long it will take to deliver all the bags from these super high density dugongs?
And how long to pass through immigration and custom.. In some airports, you will probably have to set up camps if a few of those arrive at the same time.

What do you mean by paying peanuts? Even AK ticket can cost more than MAS nowadays and can get the best environment at lower price with MAS.
Well.. I'm talking about airport tax, which the person in the article was also referring to.
-
I prefer the seniors because I feel more warmth from them. Besides, looks aren't everything.
In a typical flight, there is little contact between FAs and passengers.. They serve food and drinks... Attend to requests sometimes.. For most, we just see them, don't really talk to them.. So the more attractive to the eyes, the better.
-
The problem with these people is that they want top notch facilities while paying peanuts.. They think they only need to pay peanuts, the world owes them a living.
Thangavelu added that it was also unfair to passengers, who despite paying airport tax, were not provided with top-notch facilities.
So in way, they are partly responsible for the delay. We can easily build a budget airport/terminal but people make a lot of noise. So KLIA2 became a bit too posh, a bit too high class..
-
While it spurs others to innovate and improve themselves, competition is only good if it's healthy and sustainable.. It's a fine balance.
Once some need to close shop or barely hanging by a thread.. It's not a good thing.
Airlines making big money elsewhere can easily afford to make loses in some routes for a period of time to kill of local competitors.
A number of routes in Malaysia are getting saturated, so it remains to be seen what will happen, whether this is sustainable or not.

Darwin has been on my list to strike off. Been eyeing the JQ SGD98 deals. When is a good time to visit DRW?
Hmm.. Most tourists come here during the dry season or just before the wet season just because it can rain everyday and some roads not accessible..
Having said that, some of the waterfalls can be dry during the dry season..

Silk Air is horrible?
Horrible as in limited options..haha... but my experience with Silk Air was not pretty also.. The aircraft was stuffy, maybe their air cond was bad.. They charged premium fare for almost LCC-liked service
Or you can fly QZ to DPS.
Not looking forward to transitting in Bali when getting out though yes, I can.. For most people here, Singapore is our gateway out. So if we have Kuala Lumpur as alternative, it will be wonderful even with crampy Sky Interior 737..
Darwin you are at now? Paid a short visit with Jetstar, via SIN, end-2009. Only managed Kakadu. Always thinking of doing the Ghan from Darwin to Adelaide, or vice-versa.
Yup..Relocated here this year.. Still climbing the career ladder, so have to move around to "naik pangkat"... The Ghan is one expensive train ride, but maybe worth the experience.. I was deterred by their price.. haha.. My colleagues used to drive and speeding all the way up and down the vertical length of Australia... But if you visit Darwin, PM me..
-
Would love them flying to Darwin, where I'm currently based.. There are only Silk Air and Jetstar when I want to get out.. Horrible..
-
I hope this will be a wake up call for MH. Their hardware is substandard.

That's the way to go... If no-frills airlines, one can choose their food.. Why can't FSC? MH should follow suit..
