The success of private airline AirAsia is proof that Malaysians aren't the ones incompetent at managing aviation, but BN is the one at fault said DAP.

In a statement today, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said he "strongly disagrees" with  former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's claim that MAS had to appoint an expatriate chief executive officer because Malaysians are, in the ex-premier's words, " stupid ".
