they caught me with a pocket Victorinox swiss army knifeSurely you cant smuggle weapons through our Malaysian Airports. Our airports have one of the most tight passenger security screening in the world.
I genuinely made a mistake to put it in hand luggage when its should be check in. So I had no pocket knife for my trip to Mulu, Sarawak.

I didn't know Malacca had an airport

Did MAHB or police closed off one of two drop off lanes at klia2? I was flying out on last Thursday, they only allowed drop off at second drop-off lane. Not sure if it is because of vip arrival or safety upgrading.
Also I used airasia app to check in with e boarding pass. No one bothers to check until boarding gate. The police, the immigration officer, security check station. I was only ask to show e-boarding pass during boarding. Even that the stewardess just said "ok to board", no scanning of barcode at all. I was asked by ground crew who boarded the aircraft to check if I had indeed boarded the flight. I can see big loopholes here.
Btw, I saw quite a number of police present at the check in counters, some were doing random check, good job police!
It was also closed on Sunday
I saw it. more police walking around

ULAANBAATAR, MONGOLIA - The Malaysian government is mulling a proposal to allow only air passengers to enter terminals at all major airports to tighten security, according to state media.
Only passengers will be allowed at the check-in counters while those sending them off would be kept outside the building or restricted to group at a particular place, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi
He was speaking to journalists at the 11th Asia-Europe Meeting (Asem) Summit here on Friday (July 15).
"The Cabinet had instructed Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai to work out this proposal with MAHB (Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad)," Dr Ahmad Zahid was quoted as saying by the Bernama news agency.
Dr Ahmad Zahid, who is leading the Malaysian delegation to the Asem Summit, said Datuk Seri Liow was also asked to find a way to prevent vehicles sending off or waiting for air passengers from parking near terminals.
The proposal to tighten airport security comes after an attack at the Istanbul Ataturk Airport last month that killed 45 people and wounded hundreds, the deadliest in a series of bombings this year in Turkey.
In the June 28 airport attack, three bombers opened fire to create panic outside the airport before two of them got inside and blew themselves up. The third militant detonated his explosives outside at the entrance to the international arrival terminal, Reuters reported.
The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria claimed responsibility for the suicide bombings.

MAHB's response

I do hope it will be something similar to Silkair. I would like to see a return of Firefly jets. The difference in branding will help clear confusion as it will be clear what those leisure flights are. Flights to Langkawi, Pukhet, Bali could be these leisure flights?
-
If there are aerotrains to travel between terminals, without needing to check out and check back in, I would not mind.
-
if domestic flights are moved to klia 2 how on earth will I be able to transfer from klia 2 to klia 1
so much hassle. This is a big no no for me.

Malaysia Airlines to name Bellew as chief executive
Malaysia Airlines will name chief operating officer and former Ryanair executive Peter Bellew as the ailing national carrier's chief executive as early as this week, The Star newspaper reported.
Outgoing CEO Christoph Mueller is due to leave in September, having been hired only last year to lead the carrier's recovery from the twin blows of the disappearance of flight MH370 and the shooting down of flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine in 2014.
Malaysia Airlines declined to comment on the newspaper report. State fund Khazanah, which took the company private in 2014, referred queries to the airline.

Former MAS chief demands Christoph Mueller be fired
FMT Reporters
| June 24, 2016
Aziz Rahman, representing a Malay NGO, also demands all Malaysia Airlines Berhad directors appointed by Khazanah Nasional to resign.
Malaysia-Airlines-CEO-Abdul-Aziz-Abdul-RahmanKUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines Berhad (MAB) CEO Christoph Mueller’s outspoken claim that MAB staff are “lazy and are always sleeping” is the direct effect of excessive executive power granted to him by the company’s board of directors.
“As citizens of this country, we, especially the Bumiputeras, are extremely insulted by the rude remarks made by a CEO who happens to be an expatriate who is paid salaries and allowances amounting to millions of Malaysian ringgit by MAB,” former Malaysia Airlines CEO Abdul Aziz Abdul Rahman said at a press conference here today.
He said among the excessive powers given to Mueller was the mandate to hire 15 other expatriates to hold important positions in MAB, including the role of Human Resource director.
He added that in Mueller’s senior management team, there were no local experts to faciliate any possible succession plan after his contract expires.
“Having Malaysians working in a government-linked company is important because they have in them the spirit of national development, not just the spirit to make money. And since this is a national organisation, nationals will have more interest in seeing it prosper,” Aziz said in condemning the number of foreigners Mueller had hired.
Aziz, who is also the director of Majlis Perundangan Melayu’s (MPM) special committee set up to save MAS, did not spare his criticisms for the MAB board of directors appointed by government investment arm Khazanah Nasional Berhad (Khazanah).
“The special committee’s view is that Mueller’s rudeness and outspokenness is due to the fact that the MAB board of directors are made up of incompetent people, most of whom had led MAS previously and under whose leadership MAS’ performance continued tumbling.”
MPM is demanding that the board of directors immediately fire Mueller from his post, review the appointment of expatriates and have each of them acquire a compulsory approval from the Malaysian Administrative Modernization and Management Planning Unit (MAMPU).
MPM also wants all existing MAB board of directors to resign and if they refuse, the special committee will send a letter of protest to Khazanah by next week. -

How many of the above can be done on Malaysia Airlines?
-
American airlines has 3 classes on their A321
At existing mh narrow body seat pitch, not sure many travellers will be happy to travel for 6 to 8 hours. Beside, 3 toilet at the back could be a long wait at times.
This is one problem I experienced on a flight to Hong Kong
The line went up 1/3 of the isle

Looks like the plane will have to go into the hangar for some repair

ok the photos are coming in now.
