Di bawah adalah komen yang telah saya terima dari seorang pembaca blog, Sdr Ahmad Fathi Shah, yang saya hormati dan saya berharap sdr tidak akan membantah sekiranya saya berkongsi komen sdr sebagai satu artikel di dalam blog saya.
WAU! Tony had to leave MAS’s Exco?
AirAsia’s 2nd quarters net profit was down by 47% to RM104.26 million against RM198.93 million deferred tax charge. MAS posted a net loss of RM526.8 million. MAS called off its media briefing at the eleventh hour yesterday due to “unforseen circumstances” but continued with its analyst briefing. Tan Sri Tony Fernandes told analyst in a conference yesterday that the airlineswill be presenting their case to the Prime Minister in his bid to reverse airport operator MAHB’s to increase passenger service charge, aircraft landing and parking charges. As usual the press report on AirAsia was very rosy and will be flying to another majestic height and the future of MAS, of course, was very very bleak. Read HERE.
Tony says NO to aerobridges, MAHB & Khazanah say YES Sir!
Tony can now order MAHB, indirectly Khazanah Nasional Sdn Bhd, what to do. As can be seen in the case of KLIA-2 where the original plan was to build aerobridges for the convenience of the passengers including disabled person (OKU). When Tony snapped his fingers and say no to aerobridges, Tan Sri Bashir of MAHB had to also kow tow. Even Khazanah was in total silence. What a powerful man indeed? No wonder AirAsia had a good record of owing more than RM125 million in airport taxes since its inception until recently and MAHB dared not leave a finger to take actions. Read HERE. The outstanding airport taxes were only paid recently after the matter were brought up in Parliament several times. See how powerful is Tan Sri Tony Fernandes/AirAsia and now Air Asia X Sdn Bhd. By the way the original name of AirAsia X Sdn Bhd, which is a more suitable name for Ministry of Transport and Khazanah, was Fly Asian Express Sdn Bhd, in HERE.
Khazanah: AirAsia X Sdn Bhd is a 31.7% foreign owned company with a recorded loss of RM89.935 millions!
Perhaps on 8-8-2011, when Khazanah Nasional Bhd thumb printed its intention to purchase 10% of AirAsia X Sdn Bhd, as part of its attempt to save MAS from imminent collapsed, and commissioned Morgan Stanley Investment Bank to do a valuation of AirAsia X Sdn Bhd, it was totally ignorant of the corporate structure of AirAsia X Sdn Bhd that:
a. 31.7 % of its shares are foreign owned; and
b. sustained a loss of RM89, 835, 000-00 as recorded with the authority and etc.
Khazanah: Who are the business partners of Tony in AsiaAsia X, a private limited company?
In the Inquire Business report 0n 7-8-2011 quoted Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and his partner to have said in a joint statement that
“As the major shareholders of AirAsia Bhd and AirAsia X Sdn Bhd (which operates long-haul budget flights), we are committed to increasing shareholder value in both our core investments by continuously exploring various opportunities to enhance our franchise,” in HERE. The emphasis is mine. From this joint statement it was crystal clear that Khazanah Nasional Bhd, as the majority shareholder of MAS appeared to be very desperate to buy a franchise for these “special” brand names AirAsia and AirAsia X from Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and his business partners. With the pace and the way in which this so-called share swap was concluded with such utmost secrecy gave the impression to all Malaysians that Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar, Mohammed Rashdan Yusof and especially YB Tan Sri Nor Yacob, the Minister of Finance II under PM Abdullah Badawi were TOTALLY unaware of the Malaysian business partners of Tan Sri Tony Fernandes’ lucrative aviation business.
KLSE: Please investigate why no announcement when the “MAS-AirAsia” share swap was almost “MAS-AK”!
During the WAU exercise MAS, all the three famous personalities namely, Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar, Mohamed Rashdan Yusuf aka Danny (both from Binafikir Sdn Bhd, the super consultant company) and Tan Sri Dato Md Nor Md Yusof have played a very significant role. Tan Sri Md Nor Yusof, was the chairman of MAS then. A few days before the share swap, which was shrouded with utmost secrecy, Tan Sri Dato’ Md Nor Md Yusof was appointed the non-executive chairman of MAS. How co-incidental!
WAU! What a rosy report on MAS!
I read with great admiration the report card of BinaFikir Sdn Bhd with regards to the “Widespread Asset Bundling” (a.k.a. as “WAU”) restructuring of MAS. Incidentally, Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar and Mohammed Rashdan Yusof were co-founders of BinaFikir Sdn Bhd. During the WAU exercise, Tan Sri Mokhtar was the Managing Director and Mohamamed Rashdan Yusof was the chairman of BinaFikir Sdn Bhd.
SC should investigate whether there were insider trading on AirAsia’s shares
[Updates: As at 4 pm today (12-8-2011) the price of the AirAsia’s was traded at RM3.48. Prior to its suspension on 8-8-2011 the said share has hit an unprecedented high of about RM4.10 on Friday (5-8-2011 – 2 days before it was suspended from trading pending the formal announcement of the so-called share swap agreement being reached) only to be closed at RM3.95.
Ever since the lifting of the suspension of trading of AirAsia’s share, it has lost almost 50 Sen, equivalent to about 13%, as at 4 pm today. I believe that it will go down further in days to come. As I have said before, the AirAAsia share has been bullish since 21-7-2011.
I am certain that the whole transactions of the said AirAsia’s shares for the last few days were on the computer screen of the Security Commission and the record of which can be easily ascertain by the Security Commission. Food for thought for the Security Commission.]
Since 21-7-2011 AirAsia’s shares have been on the unprecedented upbeat hitting as high as RM4.16 per share, in HERE, and MAS registered a movement between the range of 40 Sen, in HERE. On Saturday the 6-8-2011,The Malaysian Insider, published a sources story with clinical accuracy and perfect timing, in HERE. On Friday, one day before that spot on sources story by the said Malaysian Insider, AirAsia’s share closed at RM3.95, in HERE, and MAS RM1.62. On Monday 8-8-2011 (2 days later) after the publication of that famous sources story both AirAsia and MAS were suspended from trading. How coincidental!
Now Everyone Can Take Over Control of GLC!
At long last, the sources story became a reality. The news portal and mainstream newspapers must have received the news from an extremely reliable source. Perhaps from the players directly. So the AirAsia/MAS share swap has been sealed at long last. At whose interests? MAS or AirAsia?
