NO to Share “SUAP”, NO to Rashdan, Shane Nollan, PlaneConsult, Rozman Omar, Azhari Dahlan, Nor Zalida & others

TS Azman Mokhtar, TS Tony F, Datuk K Meranun & Datuk Azman Yahya of SCOMI fame

Updates @ 3:55 pm on 9-5-2012: Yours truly has just been reminded by a reader Mr KL Ang that Mr Martin Barrow is another Mat Salleh that was brought back to MAS after the infamous Share “SUAP” and that he is just as incompetence as Mr Shane Nollan.  Mr Martin Barrow was brought back by AJ on 19-1-2012 to be Advisor to Group CEO and he also sit on the Board Safety & Security Committee and advise MAS on “Global developments on wide range of commercial issues”, in HERE.   

With such Mat Salleh Advisor and yet AJ and the top management of MAS are still in desperate need for the other consultant firms like PlaneConsult and others to think for them. No wonder MAS is BLEEDING due to the “TOP HEAVY MANAGEMENT”.  Please read “Time to bring real aviation experts onto MAS board”.

On 18-4-2012 MAS Board of Directors saw it fit to extend the appointment of PlaneConsult, which is also the consultant for AirAsia and AirAsia X Sdn Bhd (AAX), for another three months from 30-4-2012.  Similarly, Mr Shane Nollan, of PlaneConsult, as the Acting Commercial Director of MAS was also extended. Why are the TRIO and the Board of Directors of MAS were so bent in harbouring Mr Shane Nollan and PlaneConsult in MAS when both are tainted with glaring CONFLICT OF INTEREST?

AJ’s “THOUGHTS” on the unwound share swap and “COST SAVING”

Perhaps AJ does not understand the history and meaning of MH. It is Malaysia Hospitality and not “Musnah Harapan”.

Updates @ 7:30 pm on 7-5-2012:  En Aziz Bakar, the Chairman of AirAsia, has been quoted to have said today in Bernama that “Both airlines are looking at the right module and proposals on collaboration after the swap deal was dropped. We are creating a win-win situation. To us at AirAsia, whatever we do must be a win-win scenario, whether its a share swap or collaboration. If not why would we want to sign in the first place.”, in HERE.

It would be interesting to know En Ahmad Jauhari Yahya (AJ)’s “thoughts” about the said secret share swap and from his thoughts we could see what his so-called “Business Plan” was all about: Whether AJ’s “Business Plan” is to save MAS or AirAsia? Below was AJ’s latest circular:

Genuine collaboration needs no share “SUAP”!

"Now Everyone Can Not Smile"

Updates @ 9:00 pm 1-5-2012: TV3 Buletin Utama has made an informed speculation that the MAS-AirAsia share “Suap” will be reversed tomorrow. If it does happen tomorrow then those appointed after the said secret share suap must also be reversed or terminated. The appointment of ex-ArirAsia officers like En Rozman Omar, now CFO of MAS and En Azhari Dahlan, now CEO of MAS Engineering and Mr Shane Nollan of PlaneConsult, as Acting Commercial Director of MAS should be terminated forthwith. They are unfit to hold those key posts in MAS due to their apparent conflict of interest. PlaneConsult itself should be terminated forthwith if it has been renewed at the tail end of its contract by the present the TRIO or Board of Directors.  PlaneConsult is a consultant for low cost airline and also the consultant for AirAsia and AirAsia X Sdn Bhd.

The above actions are very necessary to ensure that the CCF is genuine and will be implemented transparently,  and more importantly to ensure no conflict of interest in all decisions, which are so rampant in MAS now.  Of course, Rahsdan and gang, and those members of the Board of Directors must also be removed immediately. It is hoped that after the announcement tomorrow, the members of Board of Directors will take the honorable step to RESIGN forthwith.  If those personalities remain in MAS after the secret share swap has been reversed by YAB Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak, another campaign will have to be launched to get rid of them. It is hoped that those unwelcome “GUESTS” in MAS will not overstay.  Rashdan, are you still around in MAS?

Ten months have elapsed after the MAS-AirAsia share swap and CCF, there is nothing positive came out of it except glaring conflict of interest. Genuine collaboration does not need a share swap deal to be successful.

“NOW EVERYONE CAN FLY MAS WITH LOW COST FARE” – Part 1

The architects of the MAS-AirAsia share swap and CCF

Updates 2 11:30 am 12-4-2012: Apparently the Special Rate Fare charged to AAX is ALL inclusive of the Airport Tax, Emission Tax for London and Paris sectors and Fuel Surcharge.  After the deductions for the taxes and Fuel Surcharge, the fare KL – London will be left with RM500  for MAS to cover its fuel cost!  It is definitely a rewarding deal to some! But losses to MAS. 

In Utusan on 12-4-2012, MAS latest promotions in to Hong Kong fare at RM809, Jakarta RM609 and Ho Chi Minh City RM709. Just compare them to the Special Rate Fare to London that MAS only received a mere pittance of RM500 for up-lifting AAX passengers.

 AJ has proudly told the MPs during the briefing on 26-3-2012 that AAX has paid RM20 Million to MAS as deposit. The RM20 million only covers an average cost of about RM570 per AAX passengers!

The share swap deal between Malaysia Airlines (MAS) and AirAsia has been a rewarding experience to date with good progress achieved in respect of collaboration, says AirAsia Bhd Group Chief Executive Officer, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes.

How MAS was “WAU-ed” under Tan Sri Md Nor

The Happy family. Tan Sri Md Nor, 4th from left in pic. Look how happy he was. He must be thinking of WAU-2!

Updates @ 6:45 pm on 21-3-2012: On 26-3-2012 at 1 pm A few of the members of the top management of MAS are coming to Parliament House to brief the BN Backbenchers Club (BN MPs) on the status of the MAS Business Plan. First and foremost, what Business Plans? It was a plan to import more and more AsiaAsia staff into MAS and to make life difficult for MAS Staff and etc. 

Md Nor and the other cronies should have a Town Hall meeting with the stakeholders i.e. the MAS staff to explain what they have been doing and what PlaneConsult and Mr Shane Nollan have been doing in MAS. They should tell MAS staff how many AirAisa X Sdn Bhd passengers have been lifted by MAS with “ZERO FARE”. 

How much consultancy fees that MAS paid to BinaFikir Sdn Bhd, which was owned by Amok and his crony, Rashdan, at the time of “WAU”? Md Nor should provide details of how MAS sold MAS Catering Sdn Bhd to a company owned by the brother of Tun Abdullah Badawi when he was the PM and MAS Komplek in Sepang was sold to Assets Global Network Sdn Bhd? Md Nor should also provide detail costings of the 25 years agreement and 57 lease agreement? 

It is too late to do damage control now because the MPs are all aware of the nonsense in MAS. Last session there were more than 50 MPs who spoke about this dirty share swap and CCF. There are more MPs speaking against it this time. Yours truly has been informed that Minister of Finance II, YB Datuk Husni was the Minister that help them to organsie this meeting to brief the MPs.

Yours truly would not have written this piece had Tan Sri Md Nor Yusof (Md Nor) didn’t try to be show that he is after all a crony by jumping in to blindly defend Tan Sri Azam Mokhtar (Amok) crony, Rashdan and En Ahmad Jauhari Yahya (AJ) in HERE.

AJ & Rashdan: “What Cost Cutting?” Part 2 – PlaneConsult

Updates @ 1:30 am on 15-3-2012: PlaneConsult is not the only consultant firm hired by MAS. Ernst & Young is another consultant firm that has been appointed to teach MAS Corporate Division how to do their work. It seemed that AJ and Rashdan, Amok’s crony and ex-business partner in BinaFikir Sdn Bhd, are heavily relying on consultants to do the thinking for them. It has been for some weeks that “two young sweet little” officers from Ernst & Young are in MAS Corporate Division. Quite frankly, it is a case of teaching “grandmothers how to suck eggs”.  MAS had to pay good money as salaries and perks to these two handpicked “corporate gurus” by Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar and yet they needed consultants to think for them. It is laughable.

Under the circumstances, saving MAS is a foregone conclusion! Perhaps it is also a case of “Kepimpinan Melalui Tauladan”. Under Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar leadership, it has became Khazanah’s culture to engage consultant firms to think for them. The Government must account to Parliament what is the total payment made to consultant firms during Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar’s reign In Khazanah from June 2004 until today.     

Updates @ 6:45 pm on 14-3-2012: YB Datuk Nancy, Batang Sadong MP, criticised the MAS – AirAsia share swap and CCF and called for the Government to reverse or cancell the them forthwith as it was not in the interest of the country.  Yours truly believes that there will more MPs calling for the said share swap to be reversed as it was a failure from day one. It is hoped that Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar, MD of Khazanah and the ex-business partner of Rashdan when they were together in BinaFikir Sdn Bhd, will take note. 

Cost cutting to turn around MAS said the TRIO. The TRIO consists of En Ahamd Jauhari Yahya (AJ) Group CEO of MAS, En Mohammed Rashdan Yusof aka Danny (Rashdan), who is Tan Sri Azman

Perjanjian MAS, AirAsia batal?

Tan Sri, who is your "winner" in the secret share swap?

Updates: 12-03-2012 @ 9:15 pm:  TV3 prime time news at 8:00 pm also gave a lengthy report with regards to the news of “reversing or cancellation” of the secret MAS-AirAsia share swap and CCF. Of course, Khazanah headed by Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar, the ex founder of BianFikir Sdn Bhd refused to comments on the news. Tan Sri Tony Fernandes of AirAsia Bhd, AirAsia X Sdn Bhd and Tune Air Sdn Bhd has tweeted to say that he was not aware of the said news.

Yours truly has read an interesting article in Utusan today at page 18 with the headline “Perjanjian MAS, AirAsia batal?”. It said “sebelum ini, pertukaran saham antara syarikat penerbangan itu menimbulkan banyak polemik sehingga Suruhanjaya Sekuriti (SC) dan Bursa Malaysia terpaksa menjalankan siasatan.” The most interesting of all is “… bahawa kerjasama hanya memberi keuntungan besar kepada AirAsia.” (“… that the said co-operation only benefited AirAsia.”).
