KK Lee 5 Report post Posted August 23, 2013 MAS Needs To Boost Professionalism In Management Not Privatisation "We do not need foreigners because we have the local talent. The foreigners do not understand the local situation and this why I never recruited them," he said. Most MH management started from rank and file, many were promoted for who they know, how many of these (exclude tech crew) were head hunted by foreign airline for their talent in the last 15 years?

Arthur Van Straten 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 I know it is a rumour, but, could it be true? Word on the street, or on the apron for that matter, is, "MAS is targeted by several entities for take over. Lock stock and barrel" "Government is not unwilling". As i said, grapevine stuff but, you know, when there is smoke, there usually is a fire? My ear is on the floor. Cheers Art Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alberttky 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 I think whoever's thinking of taking over MAS now is either too filthy rich and don't know what to do with their money, or haven't done enough homework yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Rumour in the street about Proton being offered for sale by DRB Hicom are also circulating. Looks like the cronies are short of cash and need suckers to buy bankrupt companies. Edited February 25, 2014 by flee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arthur Van Straten 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 @ fllee and Allbert. Lets stick to the core of things. If MAS is going to be taken over, it can be two ways. 1. A croney company takes it, get "dedicated funding" to make it work and all will repeat history adfundum. 2. A serious bidder takes it and clean house. They can as they have the majority. Remember, take over means, privatising.No more government. Cheers Art Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JuliusWong 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 The last privatisation didn't go well too. TR......enough said. All we need is, be it public or private, a sound management team that is capable and forward thinking. Aggressive yet doesn't lost touch of ground. Knowledgeable and take responsibility. AND most importantly, HAVE THE BALL TO SAY 'NO' to GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
