V Wong 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2012 . Although Pak Rusdi is a very quiet and unassuming man, I hope that deep inside, he is a very shrewd businessman who can smell a rat from a million miles. KC Sim Tony said this too : "Without doubt, we will compete against each other. I know what it takes for an airline to win," Doesn't need a sharp man to understand his intent....

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Also doesn't need rocket science to work out likely association between this proposed 'collaborative discussion' and fact that Air Asia share price has gone southward recently (refer Doc Naim's thread here: http://www.malaysian...showtopic=18220) In fact, Tan Sri Red One would be somewhat negligent if he doesn't pursue this - may work, may not work, but at least there will be something to reply to if matter raised at next shareholders' AGM (more seriously, if at an EGM ) The man has to do what his job description dictates Actually, it's also quite decent of him to announce this proposal publicly - also could be part of the show And in cold reality, there will be mergers of these industry giants - I think the term they normally use is 'enhancing investors value' Think of all the merged airlines nowadays (ConTed, DeltAA, BAberia .....) - even forefather of MH/SQ, MSA was a combined entity of a few long forgotten airlines In the pharmaceutical industry, the few dominant giants nowadays are all products of mergers Call it collaboration, call it selling out to your competitor - it is how corporates prey and devour And yes, the consumers will eventually pay - ever wonder why cost of medicines have sky rocketted well above inflation during last decade or two ?

Izanee 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2012 Pak rusdi enjoyed a thosai with tf then told him to get lost! I wouldn't get involved with tf .... He has a great way of internal sabotage.

Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted October 6, 2012 Malindo - such a horrible name, definitely one for the uninitiated. Plus the name Malindo reminds me of a textile shop somewhere along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman in downtown KL...pretty sure I've come across it before.. Malindo actually reminds me of a bully from primary school. His name is Malindo Bin Kassim. Here is his Facebook profile. http://www.facebook....alindo.mdkassim He has a sister back in school. Her name is Malinda Binti Kassim. Malindo is now an army based in Semporna, glad he put his fierceness into good use. I am not sure where is Malinda now. The Indonesian is fond of the name Malindo, the airlines. Remember 'Maphilindo' of the Confrontation topic from our history book? Also, the majority of popular Indonesian brands exported abroad rhymes with Malindo - Indomee, Indocafe etc. On a more serious sense, I think the name Malindo befits - it sounded like 'Malaysia + Indonesia', 'lin_o' in the middle can be associated with Lion Air the parent company and it sounds bold. Plus the Indonesian can still get a piece of the failed Maphilindo in 1966. Malaysia Indonesia Airways (MIA). Na'a. The Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA) will be unhappy.

KC Sim 2 Report post Posted October 12, 2012 I cannot see how Temasek can sue an airline in Malaysia named Harimau Air just because it has one that is named Tiger Airways.

Apple is known to have sued everyone with the name or logo associated with Apple. Same as MacDonald's.

How true is the story of Parameswara seeing a lion in Singapore then ? O/T It wasn't Parameswara who saw lion in Singapore, but a prince from Bintan (well, this is a folklore actually). But, Parameswara did stop at Singapore for a while, even thinking to start a new empire from there, but he was opposed by Siam which controlled the island back in 13th century. He eventually landed at Malacca and thus a new chapter of Nusantara history begins But, yep, I also cannot imagine the sight of lion in this region? Tiger? still logical, but lion? i guess it depends on companies. Apple is known to have sued everyone with the name or logo associated with Apple. Same as MacDonald's.
