Just Close Down MAS and Write It Off....!!

Adakah anda fikir MAS boleh diselamatkan? Jangan mimpilah!! Berapa chairman dah tukar? Berapa kali usaha untuk revive MAS dilakukan? Semuanya menemui jalan buntu. MAS dari hari ke sehari semakin jahanam.

MAS hanya cemerlang di zaman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Abdul Rahman. Sejak diambilalih oleh Tajuddin Ramli atas arahan Mahathir, biz MAS terus merudum. Ada orang kata Idris Jala hebat kerana berjaya mengurangkan hutang MAS. Sebenarnya Idris Jala telah menjual banyak asset MAS termasuk bangunannya di tengah2 Kuala Lumpur. Kalu macam tu, akupun boleh jadi Chairman MAS.

Jalan paling mudah ialah menutup MAS dan write off. Tubuhkanlah syarikat penerbangan yang baru jika perlu. Dengan kontrak perjanjian seperti di bawah ini, bagi tau saya macam mana MAS boleh dipulihkan? Ini baru satu perjanjian. Entah perjanjian apa lagi yang tidak kita ketahui agaknya??

Janganlah sentimental sangat....

Brahim's-MAS catering deal "remains intact"

PETALING JAYA (Oct 10, 2012): Malaysia Airlines (MAS) has backed out of plans to renegotiate its 25-year catering agreement with Brahim's Holdings Bhd, a move some quarters view as aimed at avoiding a possible financial penalty.

The airline is already bogged down by operating losses to the tune of RM408.8 million in the first half of this year.

A termination of the contract, which runs from 2003 to 2028, between Brahim's and MAS would have entitled Brahim's to a financial compensation from MAS.

In a statement today, Brahim's said its catering agreement with MAS "remains intact" following discussions with representatives from MAS, and will proceed to reconvene an EGM that was adjourned in September after MAS had indicated its intention to renegotiate the catering deal.

Shareholders were to have voted on Brahim's proposed acquisition of a 49% interest in Brahim's-LSG Sky Chefs Holdings Sdn Bhd from LSG Asia GmbH for RM130 million at the EGM, but had decided to adjourn the meeting until there was "greater clarity" on the status of its catering agreement with MAS.

About 92% of Brahim's revenue comes from its contract with MAS.

"We wish to inform that any operational issues will be reviewed and resolved progressively within the framework of the existing catering agreement. Brahim's will proceed with the needful to reconvene the EGM to relay its clarification with MAS to Brahim's Holdings' shareholders, that the catering agreement remains intact," the company said.
