Idris Jala named minister in PM’s dept to oversee KPI initiative

Malaysia Airlines (MAS) chief executive officer and managing director Datuk Seri Jala has been appointed as a Minister in the Prime Minister’s department Thursday.
He would be the chief executive officer of Performance Management and Delivery Unit (PEMANDU), the organisation that oversees the implementation of the Key Performance Index (KPI) initiatives.

Sarawakian Leader

Datuk Seri Idris Jala, who is from the Kelabit ancestry, is the current Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Malaysia Airlines.Before that, Idris used to work for Shell. In 2005, the Malaysian government elected him as CEO of Malaysia Airlines due to massive losses of the company. In February 2006, he announced the airline's business turnaround plan from a 9-month loss of USD400 million in 2005 to achieving a record profit of USD260 million in 2007.
In May 2008, Idris appeared on national television announcing the airline's first ever 'zero fare' for domestic and a selection of international flights, a move that raised his spat between him and AirAsia’s boss, Tony Fernandes to a new level.
Idris Jala is a Kelabit from Sarawak and is a Christian. He was the first non-Malay non-Muslim to be appointed to head a GLC, as part of new government reforms.

Who is Ninoy?

Benigno Servillano "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr.(November 27, 1932 – August 21, 1983) was a Philippine Senator, Governor of Tarlac, and an opposition leader against President Ferdinand Marcos. He was assassinated at the Manila International Airport (later renamed in his honor) upon returning home from exile in the United States. His death catapulted his widow, Corazon Aquino, to the limelight and subsequently to the presidency, replacing the 20-year Marcos regime. In 2004, the anniversary of his death was proclaimed as a national holiday now known as Ninoy Aquino Day

Who is Corazon Aquino?

Corazon Aquino rose to prominence when her husband,who was seen as the main figure opposing the Marcos regime, was shot dead.

The soft- spoken Aquino rewrote the country's constitution and freed all political dissidents jailed by Marcos.

I would love to read your comments.

Today I read about Corazon Aquino.

Her courage is an inspiration.
