00:00Yes, we have reached out to MH. In fact, before these three incidents, we already launched
00:10an investigation. Because there were some other incidents before this. And CAM has already
00:15done a special audit on MAG. And I will report to Cabinet some of the findings of the audit
00:23this Wednesday. Of course, follow-up actions will be undertaken by CAM. We are taking very
00:32serious concern about what's happening in MAG. I'm also in touch with the Group Managing
00:39Director, Captain Izam. I've spoken to him. And I've asked him to make all the necessary
00:46follow-up to ensure the operations are smoother. And of course, safety is always a top priority.
00:57And they have taken steps to overcome the challenges. Some of the challenges are because
01:02of the parts supply chain. Supply of the parts were disrupted. And the personnel changeover,
01:12lack of staff and all that, that has affected some maintenance work. So that's why they
01:18have taken immediate steps by cutting down some flags. So to ensure that flags are lesser,
01:27so that the aircraft can be sent for maintenance and all that. So immediate steps have been
01:32taken to cut down some flags.
01:35The former Transport Minister claims that there is a confidence crisis involving the
01:43few incidents that happened to MAS especially. Do you think that there is a confidence crisis
01:50against our MAHB?
01:52Well, it's unfortunate for a former Minister of Transport to mention that. That is actually
01:58questioning the professionalism of MAG and MAS. For me, as far as I'm concerned, I have
02:05no doubt on the professionalism of MAG for even one minute. I've always believed in their
02:11professionalism. They will do everything possible to ensure safety and security. Safety is always
02:18a top priority. But of course, to the public, there are concerns. I mean, I'm not downplaying
02:23the concerns. That's why CAM has actually taken immediate investigation, even before
02:30this.
02:53That's why CAM has taken immediate investigation, even before this. That's why CAM has taken
03:00immediate investigation, even before this. That's why CAM has taken immediate investigation,
03:05even before this. That's why CAM has taken immediate investigation, even before this.
03:10That's why CAM has taken immediate investigation, even before this. That's why CAM has taken
03:15immediate investigation, even before this. That's why CAM has taken immediate investigation,
03:20even before this. That's why CAM has taken immediate investigation, even before this.
03:25That's why CAM has taken immediate investigation, even before this. That's why CAM has taken
03:31immediate investigation, even before this. That's why CAM has taken immediate investigation,
03:36even before this. That's why CAM has taken immediate investigation, even before this.
03:41That's why CAM has taken immediate investigation, even before this. That's why CAM has taken

04:01immediate investigation, even before this. That's why CAM has taken immediate investigation,
04:06even before this. That's why CAM has taken immediate investigation, even before this.
04:12Since January last year, there have been seven major incidents at least reported by the media.
04:20So the regularity of these occurrences, how do you plan to overcome all this?
04:28Yes, as I said, number one, CAM has done their investigation and they will follow up closely.
04:36In fact, the renewal of AOC has been shortened to one year.
04:41Previously, it was three years. So right now, we have shortened the AOC,
04:45so that more regular audits and more regular checks on MAG will be in place.
04:52But I want to stress this problem of some of the technical problems,
04:56not only plug-in marks. Many other airlines also face the same problem.
05:01Caterpacific also has it. Singapore Airlines also has it. Thai Airways also has it.
05:05All kinds of airlines have this technical problem.
05:08Let's not just single out MAG or MAS only.
05:13Many other airlines also face technical problems due to the disruption in terms of supply chain.
05:30Are we concerned? Yes, we are concerned.
05:33But let's not question the professionalism and efforts of MAG to deal with technical issues.
05:43They don't like to divert.
05:47You have to understand, for an airline to divert and to fly back or to come back to the airport,
05:53it is a major cost.
05:55The cost is high for them.
05:57Diversion alone will cause a lot of losses to the airline.
06:03But the action is taken for the safety of the passengers.
06:07Even though there is a little bit of doubt,
06:10the flight is diverted.
06:12It's better to do it slowly so that it's safe.
06:16Even though there is a disruption to the passengers,
06:18but I hope everyone understands.
06:20Let's not wait for a bigger incident to happen,
06:23and then we point the finger at MAG, the airline.
06:27So even though there is a correct diversion now,
06:29there were several incidents,
06:32but they made the right SOP,
06:36which is to divert,
06:37to ensure the safety of the passengers first.
06:40That is most important.
06:45The age of the aircrafts which faced the technical problems and disruptions.
06:49Sorry?
06:50The age of the aircrafts.
06:51The age?
06:52Of the aircrafts.
06:53The age of the aircrafts.
06:54Of course, there is.
06:55All the records are there.
06:56The year, when, when and so on.
06:59But of course, I have said,
07:01the full report I have to present it to,
07:03and all the particular incidents.
07:05Each particular incident has been compiled.
07:11I will report it to Cabinet this Wednesday.
