This time around, several prominent personalities in Malaysia normally seen at loggerheads find themselves on a common ground. Invasion on Gaza by Israel?? No, not that issue. They stand united in objecting the decision of the government to allow AirAsia and Sime Darby jointly opening up a new LCCT in Labu. We know that people like RockyBru, Wee Choo Keong, JeffOoi, and even the former PM are from different camps. They are popular bloggers, opposition-in-power, ex-prime minister, but strangely this time, they speak in one voice in opposing the construction of a new low cost terminal in Labu.
All considerations and technical limitations highlighted in the blogs of the respective opposers make practical sense. However, if AirAsia needs a bigger airport so that it can further expand its cheap services to the people, what so wrong with it operating its own airport in Labu? Not that they are going to use taxpayers' money to build the airport. Or some people simply oppose to it as they worry that the son-in-laws of somebody may stand to benefit from this project?
To common people, it's all boils down to dollar and cent. If AirAsia can provide very much cheaper alternative to what offer by MAS, why should we oppose to it? After all, what so wrong about converting an oil palm estate into a low cost terminal? Not that it will cause someone to lose their land or lose their livelihood or what not. It is timely for AirAsia to work on its expansion plan as it is overly crowded in the current LCCT more so because of the on-going upgrading work. Sometimes, the LCCT looks like a wet market as it is so crammed due to limited space.
