Good Luck MAS.. i hope the new CEO is as good as Idris.... Dont forget the pass.....


"Idris will complement, support and report to Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon, minister in Prime Minister's department in charge of National Unity and Performance Management," said the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak in a statement Thursday.

Najib informed the Cabinet of the appointment at the Cabinet KPI Workshop held in Putrajaya Thursday and the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin had consented to the appointment.

Idris would be sworn in as a senator at a later date.

"Dr Koh continues with his task on formulating and executing the overall policy and strategy on performance management and organisational transformation with special focus on National Key Results Area (N-KRA). He will be the chairman of the PEMANDU board which includes the Chief Secretary to the Government and other senior officers.

"Idris who will also assume the deputy chairmanship of PEMANDU board, will be responsible for specific N-KRAs and National KPIs (N-KPIs) and advise on Ministerial-KRAs (M-KRAs) and M-KPIs.

"He will focus on sharing his expertise and experience in Shell and MAS and driving implementation of performance management in the Federal government," said Najib.

He added that Idris would report to Dr Koh on matters relating to KPIs and directly to the Prime Minister on other duties to be assigned to him as a minister.

The board of Malaysia Airlines would announce separately the new chief executive officer and managing director of the airline.

ya, all the best to him, he is really a great leader... he always gives ppl a confident impression... wish him successful in his next stage of his career, obviously he is going up up and up.
He doesn't show any CEO/MD ego style, he is very humble and patient to listen to you. He can sit with person like me together and have a nice tea talk.

Thank you, Dato' Sri Idris Jala for listening to my problems, and thank you for being at MAS when MAS need you the most. I will never forget such a great leader like you.
We wish MAS to continue successful and welcome to the new CEO.

All the best.

yup. hopefully. seems like political issues involve in MAS rite now. hmm
