Rashdan sworn in Allah’s name that he didn’t upgrade his maid to First Class

Updates on 30-3-2012: Please read an interesting article by ABITW entitled “As long as MAS is here, no fear”.

Updates @ 11:30 pm on 28-3-2012: Parliament ended at about 10:00 pm just now. Will post what YB Datuk Awang Adik, the Deputy Minister of Finance, has replied in Parliament as soon as yours truly got a copy of the Handsard. Of course, he didn’t answer all the pertinent questions raised by several MPs especially “why was there a need for CCF to couple with share swap?” and what yours truly have asked in HERE & HERE during the policy Debate on the Royal Address. He was skirting around.

Of course, he was in great pain to justify that CCF is good for both MAS and AirAsia. Like AAX Sdn Bhd stopped flying to London and MAS is the only airlines flying to London direct. MAS therefore, benefited from uplifting the passengers from AA X Sdn Bhd. He was so proud to state that MAS got paid RM20 million for it. Yours truly interjected and told him that it was not due to fuel cost that make AirAsia terminated its flight to Europe and India. The reason being that there is no such fuel called “LOW COST FUEL” and “HIGH COST FUEL”. And there are some other reason. Why other airlines could still fly to London despite the increased in fuel cost?

He was also trying to give the impression that all is well and the staffs are very happy. Hence, the Union signed a Collective Agreement (CA) and despite MAS is BLEEDING, MAS management still agreed to the 5% increment in salary. But he didn’t tell Parliament about the extension of the retirement age by two years and how the CA was signed. Yours truly told him how the CA was signed by En Malek of MASEUS without discussing the CA with its members and etc. Yours truly also told him that the total numbers of the affected AA X Sdn Bhd passengers are about 35,000 and not 30,000 as declared. The fare charged for these category of passengers was not based on full fare as what AJ told the MPs during the BRIEFING on 26-02-2012.

There was no bank guarantee provided by AirAsia X Sdn Bhd to MAS as a security to ensure
