back in shah alam in the morning..suppose to enter the office but i was too tired for that..ended be in the office at 3pm. and the hectic part starts. its the last day of visit for the zimbabweans, that means we shall send them to the airport. taking air asia to johore because UTM is their next destination. that means..we will need to go to recently opened LCCT (Low Cost Carrier Terminal). and thats where the story begins...

you know, to get to LCCT you got to take the different route. and it is comparatively cost you more distance (and of course, more fuel) to get there. and you might won't like the outcome you will find a zink-walled building..a quarter U shape..with a big 'M' sign from the McD that you will never miss as you drive passing the departure hall. the only thing that made it look a lively were the extensive amount of lights they put on. made it look a bit classy, but still the moment you walk in the building, two things comes to the mind...1- hell, its such a small space if this terminal is hoped to be a hub for low cost carriers in coming years..or in a smaller scope to look at it..the moment Air Asia flies MAS's current domestic route..NO WAY it can accomodate the coming traffic. even with the current traffic they have..lots of complaints were there already. 2- i personally feel this is a kind of opression or maybe a kind of on-going campaign for people not to use low cost carriers to fly because they will also receive low cost treatment from the MAB (Malaysia Airport Berhad) ..and that particular short visit to LCCT just gave me an idea to search more info and write a dedicated posting in this beautiful blog of mine. just wait for it people. it'll be there. just give me some time. an opinion from a transport practitioner, dedicated to a so-called 'development to the betterment of the industry'-my ass.

should stop now. getting angry.
