Common sense tells us that when a company is doing so “well” year after year, it should give out dividend to tis shareholders but not AirAsia. But not in the case of AirAsia. However, it can afford to sponsor Lotus, football team in America and now buying QPR in UK but its shareholders can only enjoy the performance in the share market especially from 21 July 2011 until it was suspended prior to its suspension before the famous “share swap”, in HERE.
There was a sudden twist that Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and Dato’ Kamarudin Meranum of AirAsia and AirAsia X Sdn Bhd will be leaving MAS exco within the next two or three weeks. Why another two or three weeks? Both of them should not be allowed to be any where near MAS because of the glaring conflict of interests as both of them are owners of AirAsia X Sdn Bhd, which is the main competitor to MAS for international destinations, in HERE. But I am sure that YB Tan Sri Noor Yacob and the Khazanah management may see otherwise. I leave it to you to come to your own conclusion if Khazanah Nasional Bhd were to buy the said 10% share.
