Well with the kind of attitude that the Honourable ex PM shows , it's going to be impossible for MAS to turn a corner. Aviation can be a pretty unforgiving place and wherever someone has manipulated a system or put national pride and other petty things on top , the price has been pretty heavy. As in , the cost has been paid by human lives which is priceless. Someone should tell Mahathir Mohammed that his boys have run the airline this far and the results are there for all to see.It's time to give it to someone else , wether he is English , Arab , Chinese , Bhumiputra , African , Indian .....who cares. The question is can he deliver. And if the government and the people of Malaysia are serious of saving MAS and making it a world beating airline , they should be willing to be open minded and pay the price for it.Or maybe better , ask Tan Sri Tony to run the airline. He will be make baggage handlers and air hostess pilots and so forth. A few more runway overruns , crashes and ......well , the story never ends:
