Since when th local papers say the truth?

Idris Jala in Managing Asia interview on CNBC
 

Idris Jala came across as fairly level headed and focussed in bringing about a new paradigm in MAS........the recent turn around in profits is testimony to his efforts. We should all give this bloke a chance and the company a new lifeline!

Idris Jala's interview on CNBC
 

Does anybody know how or where to get the transcripts of that interview? Check CNBC website but nothing.............

If Masmamak is right, RM851miilion is a lot of money and employees should look forward to sharing that bounty before it runs dry.

Yeah yeah,

Give a bumi a hand out and he is your new best friend. No wonder they call this boleh land.

Idrus has had a tough job fixing the bloody mess your last CEO made, just look at the mess of your 330's let alone the crap you don't see in the accounts.

Wooblah.

Yo!,

Change is the only constant..

To the slackers that thinks life's always good,... take heed....:p

Idris Jala has only been around for 2 years or go....he's trying his level best to deal with a whole load of issues. Whether he succeed or not depend on how far MAS employees allow him to develop his corporate management and day to day running of the airline. As someone with no airline background ( even though Shell has an airwing ), it takes time for him to come to grips with the rot in MAS.
As for the ex MAS blokes who keep on sniping at our CEO, bear in mind that you guys contributed to the mess in MAS too....leaving when the company needed you most, not paying back your bond money when you broke the bonding agreement, double dipping when seconded to Jet Airways, etc. Dr Don went after Tajuddin with a corruption charge, he should also go after the bond breakers who refused to pay and the double dippers too!

Idris needs more time and should be given the chance to prove himself. He needs to get rid of the buffet train that feeds the fat cats that have all the contracts with MAS; restructure the airfare to cut off the filthy profits that goes to the GSAs. Lots and lots of things to do.......one more thing, kick out pilots who think the world owes them a living!

A skipper once told me; the only way to stop the rot in MAS is to close down operations, sack everyone and rehire on merit. The whole organisation stinks of gangrene and truly needs radical surgery!
