N Azman 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2011 For all the good that he's done in Melaka, Ali Rustam might want to consider this a miss. He seems to be trying hard to make use of Melaka airport, justifying the millions spent on the upgrades. Started with heavy lobbying to bring carriers to melaka, has now culminated in a formation of a JV airline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
