Regardless of all the news, latest news, gossips, predictions and wisdoms, MAS and all of its crew will forever be wishing what their counterparts in other commercially run airlines have and will have.. .The reasons for the establishment of businesses are many and varied. Profitability, Commercially successful, Quality Management, Attractive Dividens and strong earnings growth certainly aren't MALAYSIA AIRLINE's.. .. .With only naive taxpayers to fall back on everytime MAS stumbles, how can the company recover and how can staff welfare be looked at? Forget about the pay rise and comparatively it'll be the lowest in the world in the not too distant future.. .. .MAS surely falls inthe the categ of now defunct players such as SABENA and SWISSAIR, but bandaged and groused up to keep the flag flying. A bloody expensive excercise indeed. It's an empty shell and success is but a figment of imagination.. .. .Good Luck for the future guys and gals..

Echo of A..sses
I have just deleted a personal insult directed at Rodondo. You were warned once already about making personal attacks on this forum. I only give one warning..... Sick Squid, Far East Forum Moderator.
TR made 1.6 billion from selling of MAS at double the value at taxpayer expense of which 850 million goes to Naluri(former Malaysian Helicopter MHS ) Where the balance go?
Now he is letting go of Celcom to Telekom. Who run Telekom but no other than one of his old schoolmate.
The money actually goes round the same circle. The 'gang' from way up north.
Who the suckers actually but the gullible Malaysian public.

Squid,
Without Darth Vader, there wouldn't be a story, would it? On behalf of persons with time to waste such as myself, I appeal to you on Vaders behalf not to banish him to the galaxy far far away yet..please pretty please..
Nothing to add to the subject of MArse as have been extensively whinged about previously. It just another footy game as far as I'm concerned.
No one talks about women these days, boy it must be getting from bad to worse.
I'm off to fishing. Good Day boys.

Old News is still good news.
MAS seeks police probe on fund irregularities
Feb 18th, 2002
(AFP) Loss-making Malaysian Airline System (MAS) said today it had sought police help to investigate allegations of management irregularities at the national carrier.
"Malaysia Airlines confirms that a police report has been lodged and as this is now a police matter, we are not in a position to reveal further details," senior general manager for corporate services Mohamadon Abdullah said in a statement.
The airline was responding to a report in the Asian Wall Street Journal saying it lodged a police report last month accusing former chairman Tajudin Ramli and three former senior executives of management irregularities.
The police report filed by MAS followed an audit ordered by the new management after the government renationalised it in February.
MAS chairman Azizan Zainul Abidin was quoted as saying that the irregularities focused particularly on several transactions involving the cargo division during Tajudin's tenure as chairman from 1994 to 2001.
"It's now up to the police to decide on the next step," Azizan said.
Senior police officials confirmed that an investigation into MAS was underway, the newspaper reported.
Personal debt
It said the government was pushing for Tajudin to settle some RM1 billion in personal debt, which was now under government control through the Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional debt collection agency.
The debt is secured by Tajudin's stakes in Naluri Bhd and Technology Resources Corp Bhd.
In what was widely seen as a bailout, Tajudin early last year sold his 29 percent stake in MAS, held through Naluri, back to the government at a price more than twice the prevailing market value.
The deal was endorsed by then finance minister Daim Zainuddin, who resigned in the middle of last year.
The report said the moves against Tajudin were part of Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's drive to clean up some of the country's most heavily indebted corporations, many of which have avoided painful restructuring due to political connections.
MAS, struggling under some RM10 billion in debt, embarked on a restructuring plan last year to return to the black by 2004.
Last month, it announced it would be delisted from the stock exchange and that it would split its domestic and international operations as part of restructuring plans.

For people like Login they prefer the fiasco to be forgotten even though the government had promised full investigations to be finalised. They are hoping on Malaysian bad character, "over time things will be forgotten"
They had even changed Malaysian history on other matters simply because Malaysian had forgotten.
Marlin as usual had nothing much to contribute here except name calling, his last card.

Another Con-Job in MAS

A Malaysia Airlines (MAS) senior employee has lodged his second
police report against a Dhaka-based freight company for allegedly
under declaring the weight of cargo transported by the airline.
It was lodged at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport police
station late yesterday. He had lodged his first complaint on April
21.
MAS cargo senior general manager Ong Jyh Jong and corporate services senior general manager Dr Mohamadon Abdullah were unavailable for comment today, despite numerous attempts to contact them.
Police officials at the KLIA station refused to comment o?n the
matter.
Dangerous practice
Silkways is co-owned by member of Parliament for Shah Alam and
parliamentary Backbenchers Club chairperson Mohd Zin Mohamed. He could not be reached today, but had previously denied knowledge of operational matters.
The company, which is MAS’ general sales (freight) agent in Dhaka, was set up in September 2000.
In his report, the complainant claimed that Silkways Cargo Services Ltd committed fraud by under-declaring the weight of cargo and manipulating the shipment data.
He detailed instances of ‘cheating’. on May 22, he alleged, the
company had under-reported 1,919kg for three shipments of garments on a flight from Dhaka to Kuala Lumpur.
(Freight carried by MAS must transit at the KLIA, the national
carrier’s main operations hub, before being sent to the final
destination).
The discrepancies were between the information storage media (a set of documents processed from computer weighing reading at KLIA) obtained from MAS and the flight manifests obtained from Dhaka where the weight figures were recorded manually.
The complainant said that, at a rate of US$1.87 (RM7.11) per kg, the under-declaration of 1,919kg in this instance would have resulted in a loss of US$3,589 (RM13,636).
He also said Silkways had under-registered another shipment carrying 133 pieces of garments on the same flight, but this was detected in KLIA when the cargo was unloaded.
In his first report, the employee had alleged that between July 14
and Sept 29, 2001, Silkways had offered inducements worth RM1.1 million to several MAS officers to enable the company to slip
through the under-declaration in weight reporting.
Based on rough estimates, he said MAS may have sustained losses amounting to RM3.6 million over the past two years due to the alleged practice.
Under-declaration of weight could also pose a hazard to passengers as it can affect the balance of the plane.
Accountability required
Copies of the police report were distributed to reporters at a press conference called by DAP MP for Seputeh Teresa Kok at her office in Kuala Lumpur this morning.
An ex-MAS employee - who identified himself only as Muhamad - was present, but the complainant was not there.
Kok rapped Silkways for "continuing to commit fraud" while
criticising MAS for not acting against the company.
"Despite lodging a police report, highlighting the issue in
Parliament and forwarding a memorandum to the top-level officers of MAS, the national career is still keeping mum on the matter," she said.
"MAS top management should realise that it is no longer a private
company but a public company owned by the finance ministry.
Therefore, MAS needs to be accountable to taxpayers as well as to the government."
Kok who had exposed the issue at a press conference last month, had then submitted memorandum to the finance and transport ministries calling for a thorough probe.
Political influence
The DAP leader also accused Mohd Zin of using his political clout to
carry out "unscrupulous practices".
"Stern action must be taken against (him) because weight-cheating has caused huge losses for MAS," she alleged.
She said the ‘weight cheating’ had been highlighted in a joint
letter from six MAS sub-agents (freight forwarders) last July to the
national carrier. However, they have yet to receive any feedback.
Kok said MAS’ silence would only lead to public suspicion that
"certain MAS officials are abetting and trying to hide something".
"I will bring this matter up in the next Parliament sitting starting
from June 16," she told reporters.
MAS had earlier denied the claims after a one-day internal inquiry,
but refused to reveal any related documents.

There is a clause in the MCAR with respect to imperiling the safety of A/C.
Has anyone reported this to the aviation authorities?
The local law enforcement authority is quite restricted in their ability to pursue the matter.
I'm sure, what we have here is only a tip of the iceberg.
I find that there is a lackness in the adherence to the principles of ethics.
