An all Malaysian run now? All de best cos today just really had a bad day with the customer service. A more than 1 week old problem still can't solve yet.

So anything wrong if it is run by Malaysians? Are you implying locals are less capable than foreigners?
I don't understand why some people still make a distinction on "local vs foreigner". Let's hire the best managers to run the company (if the foreigners can do it better, then so be it), but ultimately we need to make sure that the country to gain from it (ie, retain equity ownership and our young managers can learn from the external hire).
