Fair.Pilot, but this wasn't the case of Tower 118.8 being in charge of Ground 121.65. It was Ground 121.65 being in charge of Tower 118.8, giving instructions to aircraft on approach and giving clearances to land and takeoff. Well I know it's not that important but I was just wondering why. No biggie.

Hi Brianigham. I don't see what's the big nuisance in having 2 Ground frequencies on arrival. Just anticipate and change frequencies when asked to with just a push of the freq transfer button. Why is that not 'smooth'?

We have 2 Ground frequencies monitoring arriving/departing traffic for the 2 runways (121.8/121.65) and 5 other Ground frequencies concentrating on monitoring ingoing/outgoing traffic, manoeuvring instructions, push/start clearances and for aircraft towing in their own specialised areas in the various terminals and cargo aprons in KLIA. There's nothing wrong with that system in my mind.
