“It is a big honour, we are very proud indeed, we beat Singapore Airline, China Airline, Cathay Pacific ... it shows that Malaysia can be the best," said Tony Fernandes when asked to comment on the company’s achievement. – Bernama

This is unlike Tiger Airways which is now infamous for atrocious service. On the 26 October, it left another group of passengers stranded in Hobart. They were naturally fuming with anger. What I find disturbing was that our local main stream media refused to report this incident. I guess they know they are gaining a reputation for leaving passengers stranded.
Once again congratulation to Air Asia. You have done Malaysia proud.
