| MAS unveils new management structure Posted: 30 Dec 2011 05:51 AM PST KUALA LUMPUR: MAS has unveiled a management structure effective Jan 1, 2012 to rally its staff and steer the national carrier into a new era. Customer Experience, Operations, Human Capital, Network, Alliance, Strategy and Planning will now report directly to Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Ahmad Jauhari, who also takes on the role as CEO of Long-Haul. Deputy Group CEO and CEO of Short-Haul, Mohammed Rashdan, will lead the charge for the operations of Short-Haul, Group Finance, Aircraft Finance and Management, and in the interim, helm Commercial. "The organisation structure signals a new era for the Malaysia Airlines group that will further build pride among our employees and confidence for our customers and stakeholders. "It involves the setting up of several new business units and the re-naming of existing functions as well as the introduction of new leaders to take over from familiar faces who have decided to pursue other career opportunities," Ahmad Jauhari said in a statement Friday. He added that this will ensure both the smooth transfer of responsibilities and the successful execution of the business plan to enhance the Group's reputation and significance for its eventual entry into the one-world alliance by the end of 2012. Among the new and re-named business units are: Network, Alliance, Strategy and Planning, Programme Management Office, Communications, renamed Strategic Communications, Corporate Finance, renamed Aircraft Finance and Management; and Audit and Business Advisory which has been renamed Internal Audit. MAS said the new organisation structure proceeds with the departure of several leaders of the MAS team, including Datuk Dr Amin Khan (from Commercial Strategy), Mohd Roslan Ismail (from MAS Aerospace Engineering), Shahari Tan Sri Sulaiman (from MASkargo) and Datin Sharifah Salwa Syed Kamaruddin (from Revenue Management). "Moving forward, the group's leadership team will be strengthened with the entry of highly experienced talent, namely Hugh Dunleavy, to lead Network, Alliance, Strategy and Planning and Shihaj Kutty to lead Revenue Management," Ahmad Jauhari said. Hugh Dunleavy, with more than 30 years experience in the aviation industry, joins MAS with a solid reputation to deliver results in his assigned areas, including strategy and planning, revenue/yield management, airline alliances, decision support systems, operations research and regulatory affairs. Meanwhile, Shihaj Kutty has over 15 years experience in aviation, specifically in sales and revenue management, as well as managing reservations and ticketing offices for major European and Gulf carriers while based in the Gulf region. Both Hugh and Shihaj will report for duty at Malaysia Airlines by mid-January 2012. BERNAMA Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
| Special police team to probe dumping of pig heads at mosque Posted: 30 Dec 2011 04:32 AM PST JOHOR BARU: A special team has been set up by Johor police to investigate the dumping of several severed pig heads in plastic bags near the Al-Falah Mosque in Taman Desa Jaya here. State police chief Datuk Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said the pig heads were found by the mosque's congregation early Friday when they turned up for the dawn prayers. "The team, which is headed by Johor deputy police chief Datuk Ismail Yatim, will seek the culprits until they are found," he said. Mokhtar, who visited the scene of the incident, urged all parties to be patient, refrain from speculating about the incident and not to take the law into their own hands. The mosque's committee chairman, Kassim Darim, 62, said residents in the area initially found a plastic bag believed to contain pig parts near the rear fence of the mosque at 5pm Thursday. He said it was the first time such an incident had occurred in the area. A police report was lodged at the Desa Cemerlang Police Station, he said. Meanwhile, about 100 people, including from non-government organisations, held a peaceful gathering in front of the mosque to protest against the act.
