    For some reason, it doesn't appeal much to most foreigners. It is most likely because it is way too "rojak" already and deemed not "authentic" enough to them. When i think of a culturally rich country in this part of the globe, Thailand is the first that springs into my mind.

    '

    correct! no need for them to come to our country to see all those things simply because they can get them somewhere else. Even at their own country, America for example. More multiracial than our nation

    And BWN which brings the non-Malaysian cities with direct connection to KCH to a grand total of 4 (SIN/PNK/BWN/BPN) :sorry: HKG is connected via BKI. Hai....to think that in the 80s and early 90s, KCH had direct MH flights to MNL, HKG, NRT, PER and Seoul (at that time still Kimpo airport). SYD was one-way (SYD-KCH-KUL). By the way, BPN is not new either; MH flew the route (using B734) for less than 2 months couple of years back. Not forgetting QZ's short-lived KCH-CGK and KCH-DPS flights. Surely our tourist attractions and amenities are more improved now than before. So why....

    There was even KCH-Frankfurt

    NZ did serve KUL albeit not a direct flight. Back in the '90 it is AKL-SIN-KUL or AKL-SIN-BKK with 762 and 763 (some may have originated from CHC, but definitely not all). I have been on such flight between AKL-SIN-KUL and it was indeed Subang.

     

    If that was really half arsed effort, MH was using their DC-10-30 on KUL-BNE-AKL.

     

    I think the problem is that KUL do not have a good amount of business pax. compared to SIN. it is more a leisure market. BKK is an even better leisure market for them. If the amount of traffic justifies who would work against the money??

     

    Whether we like it or not, the harsh reality is that SIN is the business capital of South East Asia. BKK is the tourist capital of South East Asia. Check the statistics and you will see. It's a bit like saying why English is important around the world today is not because of the British imperialism/ colonialism. Rather, It is because of corporate America.

    that was during SZB period about more than decade ago. But now even Malaysia's economic/business still behind singapore, it is growing. AF will resume flights to KUL next year

    How does this work? Does it mean they will use their own metal to HKG and that CX will still use their own metal to AKL?

     

    Looking at most of NZ's Asian code share:

     

    AKL - NRT/ KIX codeshare with JL = using NZ metal

    AKL - SIN codeshare with SQ = using SQ metal

    AKL - BKK codeshare with TG = using TG metal

    MH codeshares with SQ and MI on KUL-SIN route and all 3 carriers operating on the route using their own metals.... anything weird about that?
