most company will retrench staff or offer vss to trim staffing cost.
this MAS remain high cost even in bad shape. either CEO don't know how to run the show or just take it from granted as free money flow in from taxpayer.

Former chairman advocates MAS to merge with foreign airlines





March 07, 2014




Former chairman of Malaysian Airline System Berhad (MAS) Tan Sri Dr Munir Majid has suggested that the national carrier considers the option of merging with other international airlines.

“MAS is a medium-sized company in the global aviation industry that is getting more competitive. They should look at mergers to move forward,” he said, responding to a question during the panel discussion held today in conjunction with the National Economic Summit and Dialogue with the Prime Minister.

Munir said three airlines had been identified as possible merger partners but he declined to disclose them.





He said medium-sized companies were reluctant to merge with bigger companies because they were afraid of losing major equity control.

"When small airlines merge with bigger airlines, they will get only 35% of the total company. They have to accept this as that is what it takes (in a merger)," said Munir, who is currently the chairman of Bank Muamalat as well as CIMB Asean Research Institute. – Bernama, March 7, 2014

better Singapore Airlines (SIA) takeover MAS ...temasek and SIA sure got money and can turn around MAS like crazy...i mean from craziness to excellent..hehe....this is better than plastic sovereignty of the country

but many of us malaysian may disagree as they would think disagreeind in this case is a characteristic of patriotisme even when our country's money is being depleted by MAS without any reasonable excuse???

merger between mas and sia...even if it means sia eat mas...will benefit both airlines and both countries...no doubt...this is what we call calculated "patriotisme"...@ calculated privatization !!!!

Go go go SIA

Nanning? Must be joking, if really landed and assuming all radio and communication equipments spoilt (possible given Malaysia's poor maintenance record), the pilots would have called using his hand phone to report the incident, right?

All the senior executives appointed after the management team of Tan Sri Aziz and Saw Lye Huat are robbers and looters. Aided by politicians with vested interests, that is why MAS is in the sorry states now.
