(Aug 12): AirAsia group chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes has criticised the appointment of two top Transport Ministry personnel to the Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) board of directors.

He said AirAsia has met with Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Abdul Aziz Kaprawi to express their unhappiness over the appointment of the ministry's secretary-general and deputy into the MAHB board.

"We met with Aziz and raised this issue of how the secretary-general of the ministry and deputy is in MAHB.

"As regulators, they should not be on the board," Tony told reporters after introducing renowned music producer David Foster as the new AirAsia ambassador in Kuala Lumpur today.

He said their appointment went against Khazanah Nasional Bhd's rules of procedure, which states that ministry representatives cannot sit on the board. – The Malaysian Insider
