14-03-2012 Questions Time: MYCC is investigating into MAS-AirAsia share swap & CCF

Updates @ 6:50 pm on 15-3-2011: blue sky has informed yours truly that Puan Nor Zalida Ahmad is the niece of Datuk Kamarudin Meranun, the Deputy CEO of AirAsia and after the secret MAS AirAsia share swap was inked by Tan Sri Mokhtar he was appointed  a director of MAS. By the way, she is also the sister of Zaman, AirAsia Customer Experience an Technology Officer.   

After the said secret share swap, Puan Nor Zalida Ahmad was employed by MAS. In a short span of time she was promoted to be the Head, strategic communication of MAS. Another recruit from AirAsia. Hopefully it was not coincidental again that she is one of the local individuals that have been handpicked by PlaneConsult, whose CEO, Conor McCarthy again by coincidence is also the founder and director of AirAsia Bhd. It seems that PlaneConsult has the only capability of identifying “good and capable” individuals from AirAsia! WHY? WHY? WHY? Mr YAB PM please take immediate actions before it is too late!

Updates @ 12:55 pm on 15-3-2012: MAS union officials and members of staff are in Parliament House to distribute letter to YAB PM to the PAS MPs. Syabas! It is high time that all the MAS unions and MAS staff must all stand up against the ill thought out policies and decisions made by AJ and Rashdan, Amok’s crony and ex-business partner in BinaFikir Sdn Bhd. Of course, En Rozman Omar, the new CFO of MAS, and En Azhari Dhalan, the new Head for MAS Engineering, who are both from AirAsia, are included. Now Rashdan is hiding behind the MAS board for all the decisions he has made. Presumably the arbitrary decision to pay RM18 million to sponsor QPR and the appointment of the mat salleh consultant firm, PlaneConsult, were also not his but MAS Board in HERE. Grow up crony, if you cannot stand the heat please leave the kitchen! MAS does not need its top executive to appoint mat salleh consultant to think for them!  

Puan Nor Zalida Ahmad, Acting Head, strategic communications of MAS wrote a letter to the Star today in an attempt to defend Amok’s crony in HERE. Is Puan Nor Zalida Ahmad related to any of the top guy in MAS or AirAsia?  Can anyone help? 

YB Tuan Wee Choo Keong [Wangsa Maju]meminta Menteri Hal Ehwal Pengguna menyatakan status siasatan oleh MYCC terhadap pertukaran saham di antara MAS-AirAsia / CCF, yang jelas bertentangan dengan kepentingan negara, dan sama ada MYCC juga mengambil tindakan terhadap AirAsia yang menerbitkan tambang mengelirukan dalam laman webnya dengan caj-caj terserlindung seperti Pertanyaan Telefon RM1.99 setiap minit, Bayaran Mudah RM8, Yuran Tempahan RM30, Fuel Surcharge RM90, Bagasi (Supersize) sehingga RM150,  Infant Seat Service Fees RM125, Peralatan Sukan sehingga 20 kg RM75 dan sebagainya dimana Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) telah memfailkan tindakan mahkamah terhadap AirAsia di Australia?
 YB Tuan Wee Choo Keong [Wangsa Maju] ask the Minister of Consumer Affairs to state what is the progress of the investigations by MYCC into the secret MAS-AirAsia share swap / CCF, which clearly was against national interest, and whether MYCC is also taking actions against AirAsia for publishing misleading fares in its website with hidden charges like Telephone Enquires RM1.99 per minute, Convenience Fees RM8, Booking Fees RM30, Fuel Surcharge RM90,  Supersize Baggage up to RM150, Infant Seat Service Fees RM125, Sport Equipment up to 20 kg RM75 and etc which the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) has filed a court action against AirAsia in Australia?

JAWAPAN

 Tuan Yang di-Pertua,

Suruhanjaya Persidangan Malaysia (MyCC) sedang meneliti rugutan orang ramai dan aduan mengenai penggabungan MAS-AIRASIA yang dikatakan mempunyai unsur-unsur anti-persaingan. MyCC juga sedang mengkaji dengan lebih mendalam samada amalan kedua-dua pihak tersebut melanggar peruntukkan Akta Persaingan 2010 baik menerusi perjanjian Comprehensive Collaborative Framework (CCF) atau sebaliknya.

 MyCC tidak akan mengambil tindakan terhadap AIRASIA semata-mata kerana menerbitkan tambang yang mengelirukan sebab ianya bukan suatu kesalahan dibawah Akta Persaingan 2010.
