Want a new Airport? Go get one from APPLE!

I would like to highlight 3 comments found on Kenny Sia's blog entry entitled "In support of KLIA-East @ Labu Airport"....

We can never talk sense into ignorant minds (unfortunately this blog is frequented by more than a few of them). I agree with Kenny on this issue (which is pretty much a non-issue to begin with). The consumers benefit the most from the development of this airport; not Air Asia, not MAS, period. Why should a noble cause be politicised in such a way that certain parties be allowed to gain personally from this hoo-ha? This genuinely reflects the unflattering side of Malaysian culture whereby time is wasted on petty debates (e.g. should we send another astronaut into space? of course not!) and people fail to see the "big picture". We must allow businesses to grow and compete on a leveled playing field. Air Asia is a true Malaysian success story and they continue to reinvent themselves with consumer value in mind. I'm not saying they're perfect as they do suffer from hiccups occassionally but they've been rather succesful in promoting the Malaysian brand internationally. Obviously, MAB and MAS have always been protected by the government but this is the wrong way to go and a change is long overdue. If we want Malaysian businesses to be able to compete globally, then we must first eliminate, or at least reduce, the benefits of commercial protection afforded to most GLCs. The current global downturn personifies the phrase "Only the strongest survives". This is just another episode of power struggle in the Malaysian "upper" society. I've no hope for our governmment, nor the opposition.

To all the people saying:

"Why not Airasia just cooperate with MAS and use LCCT"

"Why not everybody(Airasia, MAS, Simedarby, Malaysian Gov) just hug and kiss and make babies together in the LCCT/KLIA"

I would add:

"Why not the Israelis and Palestinians shake hands and stop fighting"

"Why not our local universities accept students purely based on meritocracy"

"Why as a student in my own country I don't deserve any scholarship but somehow Singapore finds me good enough to offer me a scholarship to study in their best university"

"Why is Singapore so far ahead of us economically when it has no natural resources and we have abundance"

Why?

Let's say this together:

Airasia cannot use KLIA because it would be held hostage to the governments protectionist policies in favour of MAS.In concrete examples: It will be charged too much for use of subpar facilities of the LCCT. It's needs will not be met in a timely fashion.

LCCT is such an eye sore to the locals, what more to say for foreigners??? The bus service is crap and rude! The taxi service is crap and rude! The ground staff are hopeless and pathetic! I think all these talk about building better airports are useless and fruitless unless we upgrade the services around it. the transport, the taxi, the bus services, the civic minded ness of the ppl. Is it just me or does it feel like a war zone once you are in LCCT?? PPl hounding you.."BOSS BOSS TAXI KAH?? PERGI MANA BOSS?? LENG CHAI LENG CHAI, HOU PIN?"

The malaysian community is such a disgrace. Corrupted politicians are worse of its kind.

MALAYSIA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY WHERE THE HEALTH MINISTER CAN BE A PORN STAR AND STILL BE A HIGH FIGURE POLITICIAN AFTER THAT

MALAYSIA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY WHERE A POLITICIAN CAN BANG HIS ASSISTANCE'S ASS AND SQUIRT SPERM ON HIS BACKSIDE AND TODAY BE IN THE RUNNING FOR PRIME MINISTER

MALAYSIA'S BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS ARE THE LAMEST IN THE UNIVERSE (WORLD'S BIGGEST MOONCAKE..WORLD'S BIGGEST BAK KUT TEH BOWL...WTF???)

MALAYSIA MADE CAR - PROTON (DESIGNS COPIED FROM MIBSTUBISHI AND OTHER JAP CARS, AND THEN FIT WITH A MOTORCYCLE'S ENGINE) ARE THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE WORLD, AND THE COST A BOMB FOR A M'SIAN TO BUY (HOW DOES SOMEONE WORKING IN McD CAN EVER AFFORD IT??) TOP GEAR DID A REVIEW OF THE CAR AND DECLARED IT THE WORST CAR IN THE UNIVERSE.
