You know, as a nation, we were once truly great. Really. Malaysia excelled in sports, especially football and badminton. Many MNCs invested here. The economy was booming. Then we lost the plot.
Malaysia Airlines, I think, best epitomizes the state of affairs in the country.
During it's heyday, it was ranked among the BEST IN THE WORLD... yes, in the world!!! Travellers often gave high marks for their service and menu. Other airlines send their cabin crew to be trained in MAS Academy. Even their catering service was one of the best. MAS was once held in high regards by all.
Today, one plane was "stolen" aka "lost" in mid-flight. One more shot down over Ukraine. And MAS itself is insolvent. Ironically, there's no accountability. Zero. It is nobody's fault that the airline was run to the ground. Nobody is responsible nor accountable. That, in a way, reflects the prevalent attitude of those in government as well as society in general.
Malaysian society has changed.
In the old days, you can see and even feel the energy within society, in the streets, and among the people. People had hopes. People had dreams. People were happy and proud. People had a bit more integrity. They had a bit more pride and ethics in their work.
Now, there's no accountability. There's no enforcement. There are no ethics.
We are broken.
Could MAS see the return of its glory days?
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flies thousands of passengers daily with many opting for the airline to enjoy the typical “Malaysian hospitality.”
The airline has won many accolades, especially for its in-flight services, thus it is not surprising that it was the number one choice for local and foreign travelers for years.
