Issue: Too Much?

KUALA LUMPUR, June 27 (Bernama) -- The Malaysia Airlines System Employees' Union (Maseu) has objected to the proposal to allow Malaysia's budget carrier AirAsia to operate from the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (LTAAS) in Subang.

Describing the move as "a bit too much", its executive secretary Mustafar Maarof said the government had already spent RM250 million to build the low-cost
carrier terminal (LCCT) in Sepang. The proposal also run contrary to the government's plan to develop Subang as the country's aerospace hub, Maseu said in a letter dated Friday and addressed to Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said. The copy of the letter was faxed over to Bernama.

Maseu was commenting on a report in the Utusan Malaysia daily yesterday quoting Azalina as saying that she supported the proposal for AirAsia to operate from LTAAS. Furthermore, Mustafar said several companies and agencies were already operating at the airport including the Syarikat Penerbangan Malaysia, Airod, Berjaya Air, Transmile Air, Civil Aviation Department, the air force and police air wing.

I find this situation rather funny because:

1. "RM250 million was spent to build the low-cost carrier terminal (LCCT) in Sepang."

~I'm not sure if they realise if AirAsia was given the rights to fly from Subang, the govenment would save RM250 million. The people would save more on transportation (to the airport). It will also encourage people to travel more and concurrently boost tourism industry.

2. "Several companies and agencies were already operating at the airport including the Syarikat Penerbangan Malaysia, Airod, Berjaya Air, Transmile Air, Civil Aviation Department, the air force and police air wing".

~Subang airpot used to operate as the main gate to Malaysia. I don't think having only 7 companies/ agencies operating from there is already too crowded for the airport.

I think the main point is; other airlines would face tremendous loss if AirAsia operates from Subang. And that's why it's not going to happen.

Just to avoid them from suffering, government have to spend millions building a low-cost terminal, people have to pay more on transportation and waste time & energy on the road.

Now isn't that too much?

My Toys

Sorry for the silence. There was just too much happening in my life now.

Let's put the stress aside and look at my new toys. Bought these when i was in Bangkok. First it was meant to be souvenirs to my beloved friends but for whatever reason, i just can't let it go. [Luckly i bought like ALOT of stuff from there!]

These stuff is so cute and loveable, up to the point where sometimes I feel it’s haunted. And I’m not the only one who feels that way. My darling Liena was obsessed with it too.

Since I love her so much, I let her keep one of it. She had a hard time deciding which one to take and at the end, settled with the one I KNEW she would. The little red devil.

I also bought some other stuff [initially souvenirs as well but decided to keep it!]

This Fairy reminded me of someone so much and I actually bought it for her. Just didn't have the guts to give it to her.

~Cheers!

Have you shop for Eid?

If you go out to textile house or visit a tailor, i'm sure you would notice that people are already shopping for Hari Raya (Eid).

Well, i did the same thing today. I've done my shopping for Eid. It was the MOST IMPORTANTand literally THE ONLY thing i need;

A return ticket to my hometown, Alor Setar.

With the crazy fuel price and funny announcements coming up everyday, i had to make full use of AirAsia's latest promo.

I logged on thinking there's no way on earth for AirAsia to make the promo fare available during the busiest holiday season. Apparently, i was wrong. I got a fantastic deal!

I did a little comparison on how much i have to spend between driving back and the ticket fare. It came up to something like this:

I think this is the best deal i ever got for my "Balik Kampung" trip. Thank you AirAsia!

P/S: I doubt there's much seats left for that period. If you are planning to fly back to your hometown, my advice is do it now or get stuck in the jam! Haha

On another note, look who pops up smiling when i purchased the ticket:

Too small? Below is a bigger pic:

Cheers!

We were on Harley!!

We were involved in the launch of "Harley Davidson Of Kuala Lumpur". The event went well and there were about 95 media turn-up (all local & international).

I must thank my team, Audrey, Desiree (wish u were there!) and Asha (My very good intern!)

Personally, i am contented because this is En. SM Nasarudin's first appearance since his appointment as Chaiman for NAZA Group.

Charlie's Angel

One of my great memories working at NAZA was to know the Charlie's Angels. I call them Charlie's Angel coz they are three dedicated ladies at the Chaiman's office.

Late Tan Sri Dato Seri Utama SM Nasimuddin

I must say that they are the most worderful people to work with. And i am blessed to still be in touch with them.

This is my dearest Kak Ranita. I've never met anyone that is as honest, hardworking and dedicated person as her. She would go extra mile to ensure her work is flawless. If you have an appointment her her, you better make sure you have everything prepared!

Kak Aida. She is funny. Always with a smile. She collect keychains. Just look at the pic below:

Kak Gee. She is the gatekeeper.

"THE OFFICE"

Family Outing!

We've been planning this for quite some time. My initial plan was to go back to my hometown but since it's school holiday, everyone wanted to come to KL.

I had so much fun. But honestly, i feel a lil bad as well. It was a busy weekend and i had to run here and there. I had a meeting on Saturday morning at Bukit Bintang, so my family went to Times Square for a while. I also had another meeting at The Curve, and luckly my mum wanted to go to Ikea.

It was a mixture feeling. I want to spend time with them, but my mind was somewhere else.

However, i manage to block my Sunday for them and we went to Wet World, Shah Alam. My nieces, Zulaikha and Tasneem had so much fun. We all had genuine, unadulterated fun just looking at them.

Zulaika never want to get out!

My dad & Sister was appointed to look after the kids.

Suprisingly, Wet World Shah Alam had a pretty cool rides! My siblings (and me of course!) were constantly in the queue. Haha
