On the contrary, we have gathered that: MALAYSIA Airlines (MAS) is perhaps the only Malaysian company that has undertaken the most number of restructuring exercises over the past decade to try to get back on its feet. A decade ago its books were severely tainted with red ink and had to be cleaned up via the Widespread Asset Unbundling (WAU) exercise where it became an asset light airline. But 10 years later it is still in dire straits and appears not too far from where it was a decade ago. The state-owned airline has already had two rights issues since Idris Jala took over, raking in RM1.6 billion in 2007 and RM2.67 billion in 2010 to fund its operations and fleet purchases. Industry experts said that a further injection of cash will not save MAS as operational fixes are required. Most of the past solutions for MAS, either the WAU or Idris Jalas business transformation plan, were financial in nature to keep the airline in the black. But what is needed are operational fixes. Its cash and cash equivalent have depleted to RM968.5mil as at Dec 2011 compared with RM5.2bil in Dec 2007, a rapid rate of cash depletion of almost RM4.3bil in four years. THE 2001 and 2003 ORGANISATIONAL DIAGNOSIS Since 2001, the WAU Team has not been able to fix "operational issues" in MAS

THE SHORT TERM GAIN, LONG TERM PAIN This is the fourth in a decade after WAU, Business Turnaround 1 and Business Transformation 2. The same people who crafted WAU are back hammering out a share swap without proper due diligence and based merely on judgment call instead. Had they put in place a long-term plan then, would MAS be in this state? The new team has taken a short-term view of MAS when they should have engaged with the experts from within to get to the root of the problem as the 2012 Business Plan does not address that. MAS' poor showing can be attributed to three factors; lack of good leadership management, people management and cost management in the last 15 years. An example of poor leadership can be demonstrated in the email below: Received from EN.XXX 87772344 06-12-05 13.01 -> IDRIS.JALA MD, IDRIS JALA MD/OFF -> MAS.$$MESA MAS EXEC STAFF ASSOCIATION -> MAS.CHAIRMAN DATO' DR MOHAMED MUNIR CHAIRMAN W'SALAM, Puan XXX/Bro XXX cpy Saudara Idris/Chairman/$$MESA, BERANI KERANA BENAR, TAKUT KERANA BERSALAH. InsyaAllah, together we can help our new MD to turn around this ailing and beloved airline even better than before. We have the ingredients, I can sense the honesty, sincerity and determination in our new MD.

First hurdle is to raise staff morale, another word we need morale booster. Second hurdle is to remove CANCEROUS ELEMENT. We can't afford to have enemy within. We have enough enemy outside. If we can go past these two hurdles, the turnaround will be very smooth. We have done it before; there is no reason why we cannot do it again and even better. The "Flying Buffet" if it is true, hopefully not, already created a lot of damage to staff morale. Leadership by example and accountability is very important in our organisation which fly national pride. Together we can do it. Rgds/XXXX. MESA President.
