Actually the share swap is between the major shareholders of MAS and Khazanah. For the minority shareholders there arent any effect at all besides maybe concerns that Tan Sri Tony now has to split his time managing two airlines instead of one.

The deal is not a merger.

Just share swap between Airasia & MAS shareholder only.
It doesn't affect business wise nor any dilution.

Just there is another deal that free warrant will be issued.

do u think AA will offer more low price flight to compete with MAS anymore..? when competitor become partner, they start monopolize the industry....

still got FireFlyx

I think TF is doing a bit of national service by "sitting" in the MAS Board (whether contributing or not) and getting the strings to create more wealth for Air Asia. The tie-ups in Japan and the booming economy in Indonesia will boost Air Asia revenue and profitability tremendously and with the gomen lobbying for more landing rights for them. Giving a small part to Khazanah is a small thing taking into consideration the expected and potential returns over the longer term.

Dont think that his interest in Air Asia is that low; you will never know their actual shareholding held under foreign nominees.

Airasia support strong at 3.5 ~
Looking good at AA ?

Not true at all:
Just look at the changes in MAS
The Chairman...New
Board Member: 6 new BOD
CEO: new

Airasia : nochange yet

If you couldn't see that you have to be half blind

Well, Since AA is doing well , i believe they will stick to the orignal board members. Why fix something which is not broken.

In other hand, It is a good thing that MAS had change their management team or else they are going nowhere. This will definitley bring up the confidence level of the investors.

i believe this so called " partnership" might do well in long term for both companies.

my 2 cents

Sorry again I don't agree.....
Khazanah belong to the ra'ayat and Tune Air is not.

"Angered by the airline’s resistance to change and worried by the looming cost of fleet renewal, the government has given up, forcing MAS to accept a deal."


The lazy, dreaming and lacking motivation ppl has to buck up and start working hard or else give them a hard kick to their arses.

I just have one very simple question here:
which free warrant you like to have. (2.5 Years)
1. MAS-WA conversion at 2.00 current price 1.72
2. AIRASIA -WA conversion at 4.99 current price at 3.54
If you say you wamt MAS-WA than khazanah had done a bad deal for us.

Nope, It got some implication:-

1) Tuna Air (Tony) hold 20.50% of Mas, therefore, Tony is one of the executive director of Mas, but he only got little influence to Mas direction. The power to run Mas is Khanazah. AAsia need to take Mas's profit/loss into its account(AAsia) (associate company). Therefore, to let AAsia to show good profit, the competition between Mas & AAsia will be minuize, this mean that the consumers will need to pay higher price for the air ticket fee in future.

2) Khanazah's hold AAsia 10%, this mean that Khanazah have some influence on AAsia direction, I mean political influence.

The consumers have to pay the price for this deal. How can enemy become partner...weird!

Doesn't seem that way to me.

I agree. Using rakyat's MONEY but not their opinion doesn't make Khazanah's voice part of the rakyat in any way.

If not ra'ayat who else ... politician?

I think he was/is part and parcel of the long plan and design to the very end.....

Heard that some rating agency is going to re-rate AA due to this deal. Probably that cause the drop.

Exactly bro .. how naive can people be to think that TF is doing national service .. this deal has made TF richer than he was before the deal ..

Besides - look at air asia .. stock price has risen up in past months but it has HUGE debt ..

The government-linked funds have perhaps pushed up AA to faciliate the deal. They have all the details but the public does not. Most airline shares all the world over are not performing.

U mean the government is trying to make TF richer, I think not. They are just trying the last effort to save MAS. If u can make yourself a millionaire, will you make others a millionaire also?
