YOURSAY | ‘Privatise it with proper management and ensure minimal meddling by the gov’t.’

The only reason why Malaysia Airlines is not sold is because of the emotional attachment to it as the national airline. We should let go.

For once, let those who manage it feel that it really belongs to them, and that losses will hurt their pockets. It may be convenient to point out that, apart from managing their respective macroeconomics, few governments of major economies in the West are involved in or have overextended their influence in the workings of business.

How long did the outsiders stay before calling it quits? Everyone is guilty of trying to make this a race thing. We are still talking about 1960s issues in 2019. Grow up. If you can run it at a profit, so be it. But do not try to treat MAS as a “save Malaysia’s face” issue. Billions of taxpayers' money had been spent to save MAS at least three times.Is the East Coast Rail Line viable? Look at what the possibility of it making money. Almost zero, if you ask me.

If they do not have a stake in this project, it will end up a white elephant because they will just build, make their money and leave. There is no guarantee that they will send cargo here and use the railway.
