The jury may still be out whether Malaysia Boleh, cos as the days and months pass by, it seems the country's situation is just worsening in terms of governance as well as attractiveness as a place for business and secured comfy living.
This afternoon, I surfed into MAS (thats Malaysia Airlines)'s website to checkout prices of tickets to a particular city in India. I've had plans for a long time to re-visit but circumstances had not permitted.
There I was keying in the dates, sometime in April this year being the planned dates, for a 2 week trip. Being away from KL meant I had to have connecting flights from this small cowboy border town to KL. 3 adults and 2 young ones. The fare amount came up to RM26,005.00 inclusive of taxes!!!!!! Bloody shit, I can fly to europe at cheaper prices. Surely something was wrong.
So I avoided multi-stopover menu, and checked out the direct flights. Here to KL and back. KL to India and back.
Here to KL and back totalled to RM1310 only. (damn expensive in comparison to Air Asia!). Surprise surprise! The return fare KL to India was RM7,080.00 The total fare amounted to RM8390.00. Thats RM17,615 more cheaper!!! In other words, RM17,615 was the cost of getting them to carry my luggage between connecting flights!
As Madnoh would have said.. tiuuuuuuuuu! to MAS.
