Well, don't know where you got this rumour from but from the inside, I certainly haven't heard about this at all. Secondly, the 747 is leased from Air Atlanta only for the Hajj operations. Being a low cost carrier, we are told expansion in the future would be for that market and that kind of operations, ie, NG737's possibily. Air Asia is not out to compete with MAS with 747's to go long haul. For now that is. Hope this helps.
