AJ briefed PAC on 21-11-2011 about “HIS” New Business Plans to save MAS.



During the Committee Stage of the Budget Debate this evening (2-11-2011), yours truly had to bring up the secret MAS-AirAsia share swap again because the Minister of Finance II did not answer the points raised during the Budget Policy Debate.

Please look at the list of unreasonable charges imposed by AirAsia, hailed by Tan Sri Tony Fernandes as “No Frills Airline”. What a good lobbyist!

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.
