It's all very sad. Some 30 years ago, MAS was chugging along fine with Saw Huat Lye and then Tan Sri Aziz at the helm. No big drama, just an exquisite Malaysian brand with quite a mix of " Truly Asia " without the big glitzy adverts wasting tax payers money. Service was great with a great " Malaysian " experience awaiting the lucky traveller. Then came the kerala kaka with his big fat ideas to further his grandiose political ambitions forcing MAS to fly all over the globe to places like Jo' burg, Cape Town, Buenos Aires, Zagreb etc, all losing heaps of money. PM charters were never paid for. Nincompoops recruited to be pilots and into the management. Parochialism, regionalism, mad hatterism all practised and executed to a hilt. Money meant for development of good airports diverted to Langkawi, MAS money spent on hotel land/yachts, more kedahans onto power levers of MAS and the government. Now we have a new DFO, another kedahan...nice fellow perhaps but can you see the pattern?
