SIA preparing to give eight months’ bonus, MAS good only for Government bailouts

KUALA LUMPUR, March 12, 2025: Singapore International Airlines (SIA) is reported to be preparing to give its employees eight months’ bonus after chalking up a record SG$1.98 billion profits.

So, what about Malaysia Airlines (MAS)?

Since SIA split from MAS following Singapore’s breakaway from Malaysia, MAS has been bailed out by the Government for at least three times.

Now under Malaysia’s Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF), Khazanah Nasional Berhad, MAS is still struggling and it will be lucky for Malaysian taxpayers if MAS does not seek another bailout.

So, what’s wrong MAS? Management incompetency and managing business and operations unprofessionally?

And MAS is also good only for complaining and lamenting why its employees and engineers are quitting to join SIA!

Here’s what is being shared in a post on Facebook:

 

Unknown Facts

Singapore Airlines is set to reward its employees with a bonus equivalent to eight months' salary following a record-breaking profit this year. This marks an increase from last year's bonus of 6.65 months' salary. The airline reported a record net profit of $1.98 billion for the 2023-2024 fiscal year, with total earnings surging 24% to $2.7 billion as of March 31, 2024. Revenue reached an all-time high of $19 billion, up 7%, while passenger numbers grew by 17.3%. Along with its budget carrier, Scoot, Singapore Airlines transported 36.4 million passengers throughout the year. The airline noted that air travel demand remained robust, particularly as North Asian markets, including China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan, fully reopened post-pandemic. Singapore Airlines isn’t alone in rewarding its workforce—Emirates also recently granted its employees a bonus equal to 20 weeks' salary after recording its own historic profits.

Bigots are not just clowns, they are a threat to national unity and harmony

KUALA LUMPUR, March 12, 2025: Pahang ruler and former Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah says Malaysians, particularly politicians, should strive to unite the people instead of being “clowns” and inciting conflict using the 3Rs (Race, Religion, Royalty), national news agency Bernama reported.

PETALING JAYA: Pahang ruler Al-Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah has urged politicians to stop fuelling polemics on issues related to the 3Rs (race, religion, and royalty), which would incite division among Malaysians.

The former Yang di-Pertuan Agong said political figures in particular should strive to unite the people instead of being “clowns” and inciting conflict using the 3Rs, Bernama reported.

“Engage in dialogue with reason and sincerity, rather than resorting to monologues filled with insults and hatred.

“I welcome the recent statement by Pahang menteri besar Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, who stressed that it is the responsibility of leaders to be peacemakers, not instigators of conflict,” he was quoted as saying.

Al-Sultan Abdullah said history had shown that racial and religious conflicts could lead to disastrous consequences if not handled tactfully, adding that Malaysians must not allow this to happen again.

“We must not allow history’s darkest moments to repeat themselves due to our failure to manage these sensitive issues with wisdom and prudence. Respect one another and be mindful of religious sensitivities.

“Let us not allow ignorance and arrogance to destroy what we have long safeguarded,” he said.

The Pahang sultan also expressed disappointment over certain parties who continued to undermine the sanctity of Islam, disregarding the boundaries of respectful speech and conduct.

He urged Muslims to unite in defending Islam to ensure that the faith is not arbitrarily disparaged by irresponsible quarters.

“Let not our gentleness and politeness embolden others to disparage our religion as they please. Islam does not teach us to submit to humiliation or oppression,” he added.

For decades, Malaysia’s GLCs – government-linked companies – have been central to the economy, controlling vast sectors from banking to telecoms.

But according to political economist Dr Edmund Terence Gomez, they are also at the heart of what he calls the political-GLC complex – a deeply entrenched system that allows the ruling elite to use these companies for political control, patronage and grand corruption.

Can the political-GLC complex ever be dismantled?

What are the police and Govt trying to hide in the death in the Finance Ministry?

KUALA LUMPUR, March 11, 2025: Customs Deputy Public Prosecutor Lim Ju Vynn was found strangled with his hands and neck bound by cables.

Yet, the police were super quick in classifying the death of Lim as “no foul play”, suggesting that Lim committed suicide?

Only the police sound ridiculous and stupid but not the rest of sane humans and the world.

Is it because Lim was found dead in his office in the Finance Ministry? A high-security location and thus super sensitive. After all, the Finance Minister is also the Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

What cases were Lim working on, especially perhaps senstivie cases involving high government officials?

What are the police and Government trying to hide?

Just like the Teoh Beng Hock case in which police claimed that Teoh had tied himself up and jumped from an office in the high-rise Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Shah Alam, the police are also claiming the same in Lim’s death!

Till today, there is still no justice and closure for Teoh who died while in the custody of the MACC.

As long as there is no further clarification by the police, Lim’s deaths remains unsolved like Teoh, no justice and closure.

And why is the DAP as quiet as a church mouse in Lim's death compared with Teoh's? The silence is really deafening!

Justice For Lim Ju Vynn : Strangulation Confirmed In Ministry Of Finance Officer’s Death – What Files Was He Working On?

· 10 March, 2025

The customs tribunal man who was found strangled to death was no ordinary officer. His name: Lim Ju Vynn. A Deputy Public Prosecutor. Why is the police making it sound like it was suicide? He was cable tied and strangled. Something is amiss. What files was he working on?

AS ex-MIC leader Balwant Singh chided DAP for its “deafening silence” over mysterious circumstances surrounding the recent death of deputy public prosecutor Lim Ju Vynn who was attached to the Customs Appeal Tribunal, call for justice has reverberated across the social media sphere.

This came on the back of the of the 45-year-old Ju Vynn’s funeral which is slated for today (March 9) at the Nirvana Crematorium in Shah Alam at 10.30am.

While sacked MIC Puchong division chief Balwant (he later refused an offer by the party to be re-admitted) had in a TikTok post questioned “the whereabout of the RCI (Royal Commission of Inquiry) into Teoh Beng Hock’s death” on July 16, 2009, one lady netizen pointed to the late Ju Vynn as “no ordinary officer”.

“Why is the police making it sound like it was suicide? He was cable-tied and strangled. Something is amiss,” penned Chrisanne Chin (@ChrisanneChin) on X. “What files was he working on?”

In a later post, the netizen went on to reveal that Ju Vynn was a senior federal counsel within the Malaysian Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC), highly ranked and often involved in significant cases, including appeals to the Court of Appeal and Federal Court.

“He represented the government on the Altantuya’s family appeal case! We need some answers as to why and how he died. Justice must prevail,” insisted Chrisanne Chin.

In a more comprehensive fight for justice, a self-proclaimed independent commentator and investigator for truths went on to bluntly question “what is the Madani (government) trying to hide” in the matter.

“Lim Ju Vynn, a customs arbitration officer, was found dead in his independent office within Malaysia’s Finance Ministry (MOF) in Putrajaya with his neck and feet tied with cable ties,” penned CondorHeroesReturns (@Condorretu58866) on X. “Yet PDRM (Royal Malaysia Police) said no foul play.”

Questioning the logic of how is it possible for “a man be found bound and strangled in a high-security government office and yet it is not considered a crime”, CondorHeroesReturns has demanded answers for the following:

· A full, transparent and independent investigation into the true cause of Ju Vynn’s death;

· An explanation as to why the police initially dismissed criminal intent despite clear signs of foul play;

· Assurance that this case is not being covered up to protect individuals with vested interests.

He further sought immediate action from the authorities:

· PDRM: Launch a comprehensive and transparent investigation into itself!

· The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC): Investigate if there were any foul play related to Ju Vynn’s role in customs arbitration.

· MOF: Provide full disclosure on how an officer in their own building could be found dead under suspicious circumstances.

· Malaysia Madani: Ensure justice is served and that no individual, no matter how powerful, is above the law.

“The public deserves to know the truth. We will not stand for vague explanations or silence on this matter. The integrity of Malaysia’s justice system is at stake,” added CondorHeroesReturns.

Irate Malaysians grill cops over “death by self-strangulation, no foul play” of treasury official

AS a retired editor rues present generation journalists lack probing prowess – notably the vital digging skill – hence letting cops get away with flimsy statements, netizens found themselves suddenly wearing the hat of a forensic pathologist in the death of a Treasury official who was found with his neck and legs bound with cable ties.

Pending a post-mortem, Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa has ruled out foul play in the “sudden death” of the 45-year-old tribunal officer assigned to the Customs Department in Putrajaya who was found unconscious at 10.56am yesterday (March 5).

Interestingly, a check on the comments section of a Buletin TV3 post on X which revealed “the discovery of a man’s body lying with his neck and legs entangled at the Treasury Office of the Finance Ministry” found 1,001 questions raised by ‘netizens-turned-coroners’.

In the post that have elicited 786K views at the time of writing, Rose Nor (Rose Abraham) (@MdmRoseNor) ticked off the police with “DO NOT INSULT OUR INTELLIGENCE “ while another commenter sought the opinion of forensic experts to expound on the “sudden death” classification (if it is inconclusive).

Insinuating a cover-up, one netizen sarcastically hit out at the suggestion that “the cable tie that entangled the victim itself has moved on its own”.

“Who are you trying to fool? Eh … am I the one who has no brains or …” she berated.

With speculation being rife on the identity of the deceased, a commenter shared an “insider’s information” that the deceased is a “Deputy Public Prosecutor. Pegawai Undang2 Gred L54. A Chinese guy”.

Demanding transparency and having conveyed his condolences to the deceased’s family, another expressed hope that “CCTV cameras in the area be as bright as the sun and capable of capturing the culprits”.

One commenter even recalled that this is not “the first time” that a customs tribunal officer has died during his call for duty.

In all fairness, however, another appealed to the public to accord the police space and time to investigate the incident in greater depth.

In other words, the “sudden death” classification is somehow a preliminary assessment on the cause of death prior to a post-mortem unless the autopsy report still states the case as “sudden death”.

Last but certainly the least, one commenter wondered if the case is somehow connected to the widely-publicised RM177mil ‘heist’ linked to ninth premier Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

Strangulation Confirmed In Ministry Of Finance Officer’s Death

A post-mortem examination has confirmed that the Customs Tribunal officer who was found dead at the Treasury building yesterday (Mar 5) died due to strangulation.

City police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa revealed that the autopsy was conducted by a forensic pathology expert from the Hospital Sultan Idris Shah Forensic and Pathology Department between 11am and 1.30pm today (Mar 6).

The cause of death was due to compression of the neck from ligature strangulation,” he stated.

Case remains under sudden death report (SDR)

Despite the findings, the case remains classified as a sudden death report (SDR). Datuk Rusdi urged the public to avoid speculation and emphasised that investigations are ongoing, as reported by NST.

The case remains under SDR classification for now, but it may be reclassified if further investigations and the post-mortem report indicate foul play,” he said.

Victim found with neck and legs bound

The incident, which took place at a Treasury building office, was reported to Putrajaya police at 10.56am via the MERS 999 emergency line.

A member of the public had discovered the 45-year-old man lying unconscious.

Upon arrival, officers from the Putrajaya police headquarters found the deceased on the office floor with his neck and legs bound using cable ties.

Authorities are continuing their investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Police intensify probe into customs officer’s death at MOF, says home minister

Police are conducting further investigations to determine the cause of death of a customs officer whose body was found at the treasury office of the Ministry of Finance (MOF) earlier on Wednesday.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the matter is being fully handled by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), and it is too early to speculate on the cause of death.

According to initial reports, the discovery was made on Wednesday morning, and police will proceed with further investigations.

“It is too soon for us to comment on this case. For now, we leave it entirely to the police to carry out their investigation,” he told reporters after attending a ceremony on the instilling of values with Home Ministry staff here on Wednesday.

Earlier, media reports indicated that a 45-year-old MOF officer was found lifeless on the office floor, with a cable tie around his neck and legs.

Meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa, in a statement, confirmed that the 45-year-old victim was found dead lying on the office floor.

He said the victim’s neck and legs were bound with a cable tie.

“So far, no criminal elements have been identified at the scene. The case has been classified as a ‘sudden death report’ (SDR),” he said.

Suffocated, legs and neck bound with wire, yet no foul play?

KUALA LUMPUR, March 8, 2025Customs Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Ju Vynn Lim was found dead in his office in the Finance Ministry (Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s ministry) with his legs and neck bound with wire.

And a post mortem confirmed that he was strangulated.

Yet, Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Isa said that based on the post-mortem report by Putrajaya Hospital’s forensic and pathology department, the case is still classified as “sudden death”.

So, Ju strangled himself with his legs and neck bound with wire?

Rusdi certainly needs to explain more to justify the police classifying the case as “sudden death” and whether Ju was working on an extremely sensitive high profile case.

Rusdi needs to look at the following comments posted on social media WhatsApp and seriously be more open/transparent about public concern on the case:

> Highest ranking Chinese DPP customs officer found legs and neck bound with wire causing sudden death in Customs office. Police say no foul play. Sounds like Teoh Beng Hock’s case?

> *It is deeply concerning that Lim Ju Vynn, a customs arbitration officer, was found dead in his independent office within Malaysia’s Ministry of Finance in Putrajaya, with his neck and feet tied with cable ties. Official reports confirm that he died from ligature strangulation, yet authorities have stated there are no criminal elements involved.*

1️⃣ A full, transparent, and independent investigation into the true cause of Lim Ju Vynn’s death.

2️⃣ An explanation as to why the police initially dismissed criminal intent despite clear signs of foul play.

3️⃣ Assurance that this case is not being covered up to protect individuals with vested interests.

PETALING JAYA: A post-mortem on a customs tribunal officer who was found dead yesterday morning revealed that the cause of death was compression of the neck due to ligature strangulation.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Isa said that based on the post-mortem report by Putrajaya Hospital’s forensic and pathology department, the case is still classified as “sudden death”.

“A pathology expert from Sultan Idris Shah Hospital in Serdang conducted the post-mortem. The cause of death was determined to be compression of the neck due to ligature strangulation.

“According to the post-mortem report and the pathology expert’s statement, the investigation remains under ‘sudden death’,” he was quoted by Bernama as saying.

The victim’s family members were present to claim the body. However, they avoided media personnel and declined to be interviewed.
