What about ability? And what about that many more non-malays who are even more hardworking and even more talented?<br /><br />In case you don't know that chins company that is SIA gave the top job to a non-chino - a Mr JYM Pillay who is an Indian born in Malaysia. Who says chino company or Singapore does not give opportunities to minorities or non-chinos? The Indians are even more of a minority in Singapore than malays. Yet they are disproportionately represented in top echelons of Singapore - in business, civil services, judiciary, parliament, and even ministers.<br /><br />So, it boils down to talent. You don't "elevate" someone just because of his race or his hard work. The fact that you have to "elevate" someone says a lot.

Your comments are basically absurd....Anon 11:43 PM<br /><br />Your comments are basically absurd.<br /><br />Yes, Singapore is a business and financial hub (cue in accusations of "money laundering").<br /><br />But Singapore didn't rest on it's laurels, goyang kaki and adopt a "syiok sendiri" mindset.<br /><br />Recall that when Singapore was kicked out of Malaysia, there were those in Umno who rejoiced that Singapore wouldn't survive on it's own and would have to come crawling back to beg to be part of Malaysia again.<br /><br />That didn't happen, did it?<br /><br />Recall that Dr Mahathir, when he was the PM, had this strange notion of wanting to "sideline" and "marginalise" Singapore.<br /><br />Again, that didn't happen, did it?<br /><br />And so it was that SIA and Changi Airport continued to grow and prosper, regional competition notwithstanding.<br /><br />And it's an argument that defies logic that an airline has to do "national service" by operating unprofitable domestic and rural routes, and that it has to be subsidised with public funds to do so.<br /><br />Did the British government require BOAC (the predecessor of British Airways) to operate unprofitable routes in the UK?<br /><br />Did the Australian government require Qantas to operate unprofitable routes in the Australian continent?<br /><br />Did the US government require Pan Am and the other US airlines to operate unprofitable routes in the continental US?<br /><br />The answers to all of the above are "no".<br /><br />Again, did the British, Australian and US governments interfere in how their " flag carriers" set their fares?<br /><br />The answer, not surprisingly, is "no"?<br /><br />So, why is Malaysia and MAS an exception?<br /><br />Is it because the "bumiputera agenda" takes precedence over every other consideration, including sound business logic?<br /><br />It is also cavalier to dismiss the Tajudin Ramli episode in MAS as a mere footnote in history.<br /><br />Tell me - in which other country did the government privatise the national flag carrier to an individual and subsequently buy out that individual's stake in the airline at a not inferior price?<br /><br />Air India? Japan Airlines? Garuda? Philippine Airlines? Thai Airways? Royal Brunei? Qantas? Air New Zealand? British Airways? Air France? KLM? Lufthansa?<br /><br />And to bring in Iraq and Afghanistan is specious and shows how flimsy your arguments are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-35351108108873191522014-12-08T09:47:33.596+08:002014-12-08T09:47:33.596+08:00Looks like Air Asia will have to be on their toes ...Looks like Air Asia will have to be on their toes for this guy may try to save MAS at the expense of Air Asia!<br /><br />And he has the Government behind him!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-23406019451167844032014-12-08T09:04:42.327+08:002014-12-08T09:04:42.327+08:00Orang Malaysia memang bodoh, Tapi orang Khazanah p...Orang Malaysia memang bodoh, Tapi orang Khazanah penyamun bijak.
