" This is my Legend" Tony Fernandes.

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!

Benefiary

1) Tony
He has control over AA & MAS, now he is a superstar. So, he has the larger voice to get certain "visa" to be grant by gov't which previously could not (last time no power). e.g. Airport issues. I think he will award Tan Sri title soon. Now, Tony is a gov't crony.

2) Government
Indirectly, gov't still has a chance to rescue MAS.

3) Investor
Investor of AA and MAS, benefit from monopoly biz and thus profitable account.


Loser
You and me who buy air-line tickets as monopoly of air-line market emerge.
