Malaysia ‘New’ LCC Terminal – Government make stupid decision for their people all the time
Mar 13th, 2007 by AhYap
Our government built the LCC Terminal (Low Cost Carrier Terminal) for Air Asia last year. It took less than a year for Dato Seri Chan Kong Choi to approve the project and have it fully built! A full terminal with terminal run way, car park, McDonald and toilets built in LESS than a year!
Air Asia thanks Chan Kong Choi so much that they advertised a FULL page ‘Thank You Dato Chin’ shoe-rubbing advertisement in all major newspaper, calling him the ‘Minister Of AirLine’ (航空部长）.
Everything looks good from the news, until I went to LCC last November myself. Wow! The LCC is so small and the place is so crowded. Even the toilet is so crowded. Boarding zone are so small that many people have to stand because there are not enough seats. The guard chase you out of the airport once you check-out to make space in the airport (there is no air-con outside of the airport).
And last month, LESS than a year the LCC is launched, Air Asia and Dato Chan announced that current LCC is too small and is not able to support the capacity and extension is required!!!
How come the government could make such a poor decision and planning on this? Shouldn’t they do more research and planning before they decide what to build? We are not playing Sim City, we can’t just demolish a building with a click and build a new one in 1 seconds. Everything cost a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$ and time.

At LCCT, I had to wait 1 hour before my bag comes to the carousel. Geez.
