WEE CHOO KEONG
When Tony snapped his fingers and say no to aerobridges, Tan Sri Bashir
of MAHB had to also kow tow. Even Khazanah was in total silence.
After all, a year or two after the inception of AirAsia, MAHB had to
rush to build LCCT and a few year later renovating it costing more than
RM200 million just to accommodate AirAsia. Of course, this was during
the honeymoon years after 2003 where everything in the nation was in SLEEPING MODE and Tingkat Empat was calling the shots.
No wonder Khazanah had to say yes to the dirty share swap, which was
hatched in absolute secrecy. Presumably, Khazanah had to also say “YES SIR” and quickly take up the 10% share in AirAsia Sdn Bhd, a private limited company with a debt of almost RM90 million, in HERE.
