guy..the minister already mentioned, the master developer of bandar malaysia must be fortune 500 company = MRCB not even qualify to submit the proposal unless MRCB team with another Fortune 500 company for the project. The highest chance to get the bandar Malaysia project now in fact is Sunsuria, with team with China CITIC group which is rank 163th in Fortune 500 and strong China government background.

Ring - depend on the last day closing price..

In my opinion, the biggest problem of MAS is the MAS management board did not think is their problem, in their mind, they are thinking the Malaysian not supporting, the government not care about them etc.
This exactly happen to other GLC.

Honestly speaking, only loser having such attitude !

If MAS really want to survive, in my opinion,

1. No politic interference. Now most of the GLC top management had confused their position, and still viewing themselves as public servant, not private sector CEO. Therefore, this could explain why they not really care about the profit and loss, and they don't really care about what the shareholder think. To them, what the minister thinking is utmost important, the rest, no issue.
If the government really want help MAS, return the MAS to shareholder.

2. Public mindset must change. Noted that some Malaysian having pride on Malaysian company, e.g Proton, MAS. Therefore even these companies is not competitive and money-losing, and being criticized, these so called patriotic citizen would jumped out and fight back.
We can pump money to keep these companies running, but how many time we going to do so ? To make thing worst, those top management would take this weak point (National Pride) to keep on demanding but not improving the company. If i can get the money easily from the government, why i need to work so hard to make profit ?

3. Business strategic. Noticed that the Firefly is child - company for MAS, but both flying the same route. I think it is not a wise move because the company going to suffer if the passenger pick either one.
Why don't MAS just pass over all the perhaps 1~2hour fly route to Firefly, and MAS focus on long distance fly ? I don't think the passenger need 5 star service for 1~2hours fly.

Lastly, don't always label some GLC companies as National Pride. Return to business reality, a money losing company had nothing to be proud of, because it had failed its mission.

Share a story with your guy, my US vendor visited me and he went to KL. Of course, he did visited the so called Malaysia landmark KLCC, which some Malaysian really proud of. But he is confused and asked me that: The twin tower was built by the Korean and Japanese company, the design was done by Argentina. So what exactly Malaysian role playing in twin tower construction, and why your guy are proud with something done by foreigner ? Because you able to purchase this tower and this make you feel proud ?
