Action urged to restore MAS image

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's prime minister has called for
immediate action to restore the image of the national carrier
Malaysia Airlines following allegations of illegal practices
committed by former senior executives, a news report said on
Sunday.

Abdullah Ahmad Badawi was responding to a police complaint
made in May by a director of Malaysian Airline System Bhd. about
suspected irregularities in the awarding of a cargo project.

Abdullah said police informed him that investigations were
underway, the Sunday Star newspaper reported.

"There are bound to be various reactions from consumers,
passengers and the public," Abdullah was quoted as saying.
"What's important is that whenever we know of a problem, we must
take immediate action to address the problem."

The image of the carrier must be restored to make it among the
best airlines around, Abdullah added. -- AP
