Just a quick one.
I find the idea of having another airport very near to two of our international airports in Sepang very peculiar.
The choice of location in Labu, Negeri Sembilan was indeed a poor and last minute decision to make.
This is because, Melaka is already developing an international airport in Batu Berendam. Therefore, within 2 years time, we will have 4 international airports within less than 100km stretch of each other!
The Batu Berendam International Airport will be operational by May 2009. The project, which was launched in 2006, is scheduled to complete by this year at a cost of only RM130 million.
The original plan in 2006 was only to cater for small flights but Air Asia themselves urged the government to upgrade the project so that it can cater for Boeing 737s and Airbuses.
This will enable Air Asia to capture the Melaka – Indonesian destinations market.
Hence, the project was upgraded by extending its runway to allow those specific aircrafts to take-off. Several more millions were poured in just to cater those demands.
The airport would also be a direct destination to and from Nanjing, China. Up till now, the ariport can cater for flights from Indonesia, Kota Kinabalu and Langkawi.
Currently, this airport is under the direct supervision of MAHB.
Therefore, we can safely say that this Melaka Airport is an international airport designed to cater for flights from China and South East Asian countries for years to come.
To me, LCCT Labu is just another last minute midnight regulation by Pak Lah and his cronies. Surely no detailed extensive study had been made before they hatched this devious idea. Because if they had, they would have considered the proximity of Batu Berendam International Airport too!
This airport in Melaka was conveniently forgotten and will become redundant if those greedy people are successful in their bid to have yet another airport.
Somebody has to answer for this ludicrous shenanigans.
Update 13 January : Interesting news reported by the AFP here. It is amazing that due to the management’s own incompetence in managing the company, it has to sacrifice the national pride to foreigners in order to bail themselves out. Be sure to take note that this deal may come effective before April 2009. Oh, and the shareholders (and their proxies), being the main beneficiary of sale will definitely do not want to miss out on this ‘cash out’. Complete with a legal firm producing recycled S&P document but at the same time, charging its clients an obscene amount of fee :p
I really hope I am wrong.
Clarification : After the news got people down south salivating for the economic prospects, Proton issued out a press statement citing ‘misquoted communication’ as the reason for the earlier confusion. Rocky also wrote about it here. I am glad I was wrong.

Malaysians are experts in building airports, like the ones in India but that doesn’t mean that we need that many in such a small country.

Dulu dengan sekarang tak sama. Semasa Mahathir cadangkan benda2 ni dulu ianya belum ada, kalau ada pun tak menepati standard keperluan kapasiti akan datang (eg Subang Airport, Jalanraya Persekutuan etc etc). Sekarang kebanyakannya (eg KLIA, PLUS – and other expressways) sudah pun ada dengan master plan menyediakan kapasiti yg boleh bertahan utk keperluan 20-30 tahun akan datang bahkan mungkin lebih lama lagi. Yang perlu sekarang ialah menyenggara dengan sempurna dan menambahbaik apa yg sedia ada. Bukannya dengan membina airport baru pada jarak hanya 10 km dari airport yg sedia ada – belum sebut commercial viability lagi, safety (air traffic control) pun dah gagal! It’s a pretty dumb idea. ICAO tidak akan mengiktiraf KLIA-East.

Picking up from comments from Tony, I wonder why Air Asia (be it X, Y or Z) need its own runaway. And why is it then we need yet another express rail route to connect KL to yet another airport? As I can recall it was already in the plans a couple of years back by MAHB that they intend to build a new LCCT with an extension of the ERL to this new terminal. What rubbish did Tony speak when he said that MAHB has never presented an idea for a new terminal. He further said that MAHB only said about the new terminal AFTER they presented about Labu Airport. That is not correct.
Instead of a totally new airport all it needs now is a new terminal. Correct me if I am wrong here but if runaway is a problem I think KLIA has reserved land to build 2 more runaways to make it 4. Use the existing infrastructure to enhance the place and not build an entirely new airport, and roads, and hotels etc etc etc. (See how much other spinoff can be derived from this?).
I think we have done well to get Sime Darby to change its mind about taking over IJN, we can do the same to get Sime Darby to change its mind about allowing their land (actually in a roundabout way, tax payers land) to be used to build the airport.
On that note on a totally different subject, what is it about Malaysian leaders that they are always bent on destroying or reducing the legacy of another leader’s legacy. Looking at the state of Proton, wanting to build a new airport, jambatan scenic that was cancelled etc etc etc, isn’t that a not so subtle way of getting rid of a person’s legacy? What next? Yet another twin tower to be called triple tower to tower the Emirates Tower? 50 to 100 years from now new generations will only get to see ruins or rubble what was once some leaders legacy. Never maintained and left in disrepair just because it is not the leader of the present’s legacy. Sad.

The fundamental principle in valuing the worth of a public project is whether it serves the INTEREST OF THE NATION. LCCT @Labu although PFI driven is a public project. Otherwise, it would not have gotten the approval of Pak Lah, MOF, EPU as well as other government agencies. Why LCCT @Labu attracts widespread interest in the first place is because it will be carried out within the vicinity of KLIA which was built to cater for 125 million passengers, international and domestic.
The current capacity at KLIA has yet to breach 25 million passengers. This means KLIA is overly underutilised. Then why the need to have another LCCT and runaway? Are we to ignorantly believe that when LCCT @Labu was hatched by Sime Darby and Tony Fernandez, they were benevolently talking about serving and protecting public/national interest. Theirs are purely commercial considerations. Like what Sime Darby tried with IJN. To also claim that LCCT @Labu will not involve a single sen of public money is complete fallacy.
LCCT @Labu is against national interest as it run contrary to KLIA Master Plan. Evaluated against this yardstick, LCCT Labu is deemed to be a wasteful project. Importantly, when there is a conflict between national and commercail interest then national interest should prevail. If this fundamental principle is being overlooked, then the public has the right to question Pak Lah’s decision to approve the LCCT project.
The Fourth Airport has little value because commercial interest has superceded national interest.
The next recourse is to get Parliament to discuss the LCCT project. Let the truth prevail.

Greetings JMD,
Shah’s comment is interesting as we can see ancient ruins all around South East Asia, Borobudur in Indonesia, Angkor Wat in Cambodia, etc. Does it reflect a regional culture of building megastructures by leaders during the height of their rule only to be neglected by later generations because it was impractical in the first place?
The problem with such projects is that is has become terribly obvious why they are approved in the first place. It has become a culture of build this and that, without care for its practicality, eg. the many reports of abandoned markets and shop complexes meant for petty traders. One of the reasons include the lack of integrated planning, bad design, taking into account location, accessibility, public transport, and even people’s perception, etc.
And not forgetting the quality of the place, with cracks appearing here and there as soon as its handed over to the occupants, haha. And the compulsory leaks from the roof when there’s a heavy downpour.
When will the contractors start taking pride in what they do and deliver quality, affordable and well thought out buildings that are useful for the community instead of just ripping off the rakyat’s money to make a quick buck for themselves?

An airport, especially one of international status, is important for any country. Its use is not only confined during peace but also, war.
For one to build another international airport within 100km of one which will be operational soon is rather strange. Worse still within two years, there will be four international airports within 100km of each other for such a small country like Malaysia.
Malaysia is never a hostile country and will never dream to conquer other countries, by land, sea or air. It appears the foundation is now being laid for UFOs or Martians to easily land and attack Malaysia from the air. Very likely, someone in Malaysia now has some ties with this personality from outer space.
The more international airports the quicker will Malaysia be subdued by the aliens’ mighty air power. We will then have a new ‘boss’.

//We at AirAsia and AirAsia X appreciate your patronage in choosing us for your travel. As a regular user of the Low-Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) in Sepang, we have heard your concerns and complaints about the cramped facilities at the LCCT. Many of you may not be aware that the terminal is owned, operated and managed NOT by AirAsia but by Malaysia Airport Holdings Bhd., a government-linked company.
To help serve you even better, AirAsia – together with Sime Darby Bhd. – proposed to the government that we be allowed to construct and operate a new terminal to cater to the airline’s exponential growth. The Cabinet approved our request for the new terminal – KLIA-East, or as we like to call it, The Rakyat’s Terminal – to be located just a short distance from the KLIA Main Terminal. The new terminal in Labu, Negeri Sembilan, is scheduled to be in operation early 2011. //

Thanks Jebat for this article, and especially to TamilHero for his comments.
I had tried to put my thought forward when AirAsia used ‘Rakyat’ in their lobby emails (I’d called them Spams). Since when did AA become a non-profit NGO, or a political party, that they can claim that their asset bulding is a project for the ‘Rakyat’.
I have taken other low cost carriers, and my opinion of AA is that they are an airline that profits from people’s misary. Think about it, if you can’t make the 1 hr deadline, you lose all or bulk of your fare, you pay additional fee per bag, you have to make sure that your family gets to the aircraft fast to ensure that the family can sit together (despite the headstart-and to some, even charge a fee for the headstart). Aerobridge is expansive and not a for a LCC, maybe… but to some LCC, they actually assist in elevating the elderly and the challanged to the plane (and some actually use an airport with an aerobridge).
All these coming from a profit oriented company that claimed they are having the ‘Rakyat’ in mind.
I would have probably let it be, except when they started to use ‘Rakyat’ and started to send emails and asking the Rakyat to support them….

It’s mindbogling to think that they propose to spend billions on, and the authorities allow, the Labu Airport project.
It’s not possible that the authorities say, “Si Luncai nak terojun dengan labu-labu nya, biarkan, biarkan”! Obviously, some other motives.
The capable and experienced officers at the Economic Planning Unit, PM’s Dept, must have called for local and/or foreign consultants and it’s strange that they, even at pre-feasibility study level, appear to have found an airport so near to KLIA (which has so much extra space) and Berendam feasible.
I agree with Dr Mahathir’s and JMD’s views on this.
It is possible that EPU has reservations but, as Government Officers, they can only state their views, then have to carry out decisions made by the political masters, even their proxies, the 4th Floor boys. Hopefully there are not many of the kind hoping for Datoships and Tan Sriships who may have stated their views differently.
Much has been said about Musa Hitam’s Chairmanship of Sime Darby, which owns huge tracts of land in Labu, and the attempt to take over Institute Jantung Negara.
The measure of a man is not his physical build, his money or power, or brains (there are many cunning fellows creating havoc in the world). It is his heart. And you have no heart if you want to take over or privatise IJN.
I urge sane, rational and responsible Malaysians to speak up against acts and ideas that will compromise the healthy and orderly development of our nation. We have been having a hard time building this nation – the Sri Vijaya and Majapahit wars pre-Malacca Sultanate years, the walloping by the Portuguese and the Dutch in Malacca, the rape of the economy by, and the forced terms and conditions of, the British colonialists (don’t agree, no Merdeka), etc. Let’s continue to build it in a responsible manner.
If the mainstream media won’t print our views, let’s use blogs. State our views firmly, responsibly, explain, persuade, without inciting people to break laws, etc.
Best wishes.
