“Now Every Disabled is Charged RM60 For Wheelchair Service”
Updates @ 3 pm 7-1-2014: A disabled person called yours truly to publish the actual cost for using the wheelchair per trip so that the Government and the Ministry of Transport will be made aware of how AirAsia treated its disabled passengers. He was hoping that the Government will put a stop to this high charges as a form of indirectly discriminating against disabled person from travelling on AirAsia flights.
It cost a disabled person RM120 for one way and RM240 return trip for using the wheelchair service from AirAsia. It is to be noted that wheelchair service from check-in to the aircraft is provided by all airlines. Thank you MAS for providing free wheelchair service to its disabled passengers. Syabas MAS!
It was most shocking to learn that AirAsia is charging disabled person RM60 if he or she needs to use the wheelchair. Such astronomical charges amounted to indirect discrimination against the disabled person. It was reported in Sarawak Tribune. Please see below for the said report .

Subang Terminal 3's massive, quiet transformation
“Sky Park Terminal: Experience The Difference”
For the last 3 months apparently Terminal 3 at the Subang International Airport had been undergoing a massive transformation without much of the public being informed.
We hardly hear of this project in the mainstream media and the rakyat would be amazed how this seeming Home to Berjaya Air and Firefly, both budget airlines, would be accorded a contemporary and classy terminal soon. Perhaps this could also have been one of the reasons why Tony Fernandes had been so relentlessly pushy for his KLIA East @ Labu.
Even Khazanah says "NO" to KLIA East @ Labu
The “Rakyat’s Terminal” which Tony Fernandes apparently – in his fits of creativity and savvy marketing – had created, branded and tried pandering the term to the people in reference to KLIA East @ Labu had today received one of the loudest and most resounding “NO”s against the project.
