    i was at BKK last week, and indeed i was surprised to see the crowd. tbh, i've never seen such a crowd as that even in changi.

     

    but all i'd say is it was poorly planned, unlike KLIA. but there have to start off somewhere. it's not that they do not know where to start, it's just that the airport is filled with traffic day in day out which somehow complicates renovation/refurbishment work to be carried out.

     

    anyways, i'd still say it's far much better compared to klia, all it might need it just time.

     

    cheers!

    I have to disagree with you on this, MAS is government link company BUT the government doesn't have rights to interfere with MAS' business decisions.

     

    Look at Emirates and Singapore Airlines, both are government linked companies, but the government do not interfere with their business decisions. This is why they can be successful and profitable. Unless MAS is free of government interference, it will never be profitable and sadly, the taxpayers will pay for maintaining useless "prestige" routes.

     

    However, I have to commend Mr. Idris Jala, he has tried his best to restructure MAS. Coming from profit driven and non government company like Shell must have helped.

     

    i beg to differ. the government have all rights to do so as they are the biggest shareholders. although they do not potray it directly, they're doing so through their organisation, PMB. It might just look to us that they're totally independant and decisions are made by the administration but i guess it's they who decide where the airlines head.

     

    this is a usual sight in malaysia. eg: proton.

     

    just my two cents, i guess they cannot progress as long as there is someone to feed them all the time and provide them with all the $ when they direly need it. it's way past time for these organisations to be independant and perhaps less interference from the govt ensures prosperity.

     

    cheers!

    Sorry, I have to make clarifications here. If Sri Ramani is talking about the time taken to go from Seremban Town to SP, it is not correct. I stay in Seremban Town and it takes me about 40 minutes to go to KLIA alone. But if he is talking about the District of Seremban it may be so. After all the KLIA quarters is in the District of Seremban.

     

    sorry to stir things up here thou..i live in the heart of SBN..you can reach sungai pelek in 20-25mins from seremban via the old seremban-banting road. i go there almost every weekend(including today), driving at abt 70-80kms p/h.

     

    perhaps different route, different time frame. hop on my back and i'll show you how easy it can get going over there. i guess going to klia is long because there isn't a direct road linking sbn to klia..even the highway goes from one end to another end before u reach klia wherelse the old sbn-klang road leads u directly to sg pelek..no 360 or 180 turn..
