MOF II: MAS paid RM600,000 only for re-branding and designing fee for new MAS logo to Landor Associates & Ogilvy and Mather!

En Al-Ishal Ishak, the former SVP Marketing & Promotion of MAS. He resigned in September 2012 and joined AirAsia  

Updates on 23-10-2012: YB Datuk Awang Adek, the Deputy Minister of Finance, was replying to the points raised by MPs during the Committee Stage Budget 2013 debate this evening. He was unable to furnish Parliament with all the replies as he was not well and he has promised to provide written replies to all the points raised during the said debate. However, he managed to speak for about an hour. He did inform Parliament that a Special Task Force headed by the Attorney-General has collected all the information regarding the foreign fund from Mr George Sorros that was subsequently given to Suaram and Malaysiakini and asked MPs to wait for the actions to be taken on this matter. Yours truly will publish once yours truly has been given the reply on the points raised on the consultancy fees paid to Landor Associates and Ogilvy & Mather.

Yours truly has been questioning about the consultancy fees paid by MAS to Landor Associates and Ogilvy & Mather but the top management of MAS is not only keeping mum but hiding behind non-disclosure or secrecy clause in the agreement.   For the background information please read in   HERE. The re-branding of MAS was done in a haste without the approval of the Board  when En Al-Ishal Ishak was the  SVP Marketing and Promotion.  Yours truly has been informed by reliable sources that En Al-Ishal Ishak who left MAS last month has recently joined AirAsia.

Malaysiakini wilfully lied and led by nose to report off-target news and yet not any wiser!

Press Release by Wee Choo Keong, MP for Wangsa Maju, on 22 April 2010, at Parliament House.

Malaysiakini wilfully lied and led by nose to report off-target news and yet not any wiser!

The sad part about this news portal is that it had been continuously being made used of and has still not awoken to the fact. Or perhaps it has, unwittingly or wittingly, lost complete semblance of its independence and degenerated into doing dirty work for others.

The truth is I have been ignoring a series of reports in this news portals (and others) where it had made at least 4 false allegations that I was supposed to have resigned from PKR on various occasions. It had been missing the targets so many times that its reporting has become a joke and laughing stock for its readers.

Here’s the chronology.

Initially, I was supposed to have resigned soon after the resignation of the three MPs – namely YB Zaharain, YB Tan Tee Beng and YB Mohsin – and then followed by after the resignation of Adun YB Tan Wei Shu in Kedah. When these wild allegations were proven to be completely false, new wild allegations surfaced in the news portal that I was supposed to have resigned on Nomination Day for the by-election of the Hulu Selangor Constituency.
