Now that we got the information out of the way, I want to share a little about my personal experience in attending my first AGM and also the goodies that I got from it.
First of all, I was shocked to see so many senior citizens attending AirAsia AGM 2019. I reached the place at 8am and the registration line is already filled with uncles and aunties with white hairs. There were young peoples as well but we’re the minorities. One of the old man even tried to use his seniority to go into the meeting hall to get a seat early. He kept telling the stewardess “Oi, don’t let us old people stand here and wait lah”
Next, there were people who’re hoarding the annual reports as mentioned by my friend who worked in AirAsia X. I saw with my own eyes a lady holding 3 annual reports in her hands smiling with glee. Seriously?
In the meeting, I’m really impressed by how well-spoken Tony and Kamarudin is. They obviously know their things and is able to give clear statement and answers to the questions of the shareholders in attendance. It really felt great to be able to see them in person.
Most of the questions asked by shareholders in attendance are actually good questions and very meaningful. I heard rumors of shareholders asking really stupid questions or complaining about unrelated things in AGMs before. Luckily, it was not the case for AirAsia AGM 2019.
After the voting session, I was really happy that I got Tony to sign my copy of Flying High. I didn’t ask for a picture together because I don’t think it was appropriate at the moment. He was still sitting on the stage. I decided that right thing was to respect his personal space. After all, later everyone also wants a photo with him then susah lah. So I’m content with what I got.
Then, I move out the room to get some freebies. There was a lucky draw for people who have installed AirAsia BIG point app on the phone. All you had to do was give them your Big ID and use their lucky draw app and get a freebies. The line was excruciatingly slow because there were a lot of technologically challenged senior citizens in the line. I got a notebook and I heard there were people who won BIG points.
