00:07remaining staff to stay with the company, promising not to abandon them during this
00:11tough period.
00:13Aida Adora Ismail, whose late father founded the company, said she could have deserted
00:18them years ago if she had not cared about them.

00:26reminded employees that the company had made sacrifices for their benefit during the COVID-19
00:31pandemic, even when 70% of its business activities were disrupted.
00:36SAS ran into trouble when the Malaysian Aviation Commission did not renew its air service permit
00:42after it expired on February 29, for failing to remit millions in EPF and tax deductions
00:48over the past few years.
00:51On March 12, the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia suspended SAS' Air Operations
00:56Certificate for 90 days, as it failed to renew its ASP.

01:06permit.
01:08Aida assured the employees that business activities were already kicking in, saying this would
01:13help the company strengthen its financial position and catch up with all its dues.
