KUALA LUMPUR – National carrier Malaysia Airlines intends to make changes to the sarong kebaya of its air stewardesses this year, but aviation experts say the plan could divert attention from more pressing issues like making the airline more efficient and cost-effective.
In the poll called “Malaysia Airlines Uniform Survey” sighted by ST, MAB asked if the members were in favour of a more “modest twist to the iconic kebaya” and whether female cabin crews should be given an option of donning a hijab on both international and domestic flights. The state carrier, which cut its debt burden by more than half as part of a restructuring agreed with creditors in 2021, hoped to return to a profit in 2023, Malaysia Airlines CEO Izham Ismail told Reuters in June 2022.“Before the pandemic, MAB’s accumulated losses from 2015 to 2019 were around RM4 billion. And it also recorded losses of around RM1 billion from 2018 to 2019 alone,” said aviation consultancy Endau Analytics’ founder Shukor Yusof.
The national carrier has 25 Boeing 737 Max Jet deliveries on order, with some due for delivery in 2023. Lawyer and activist Siti Kasim slammed the survey in an Instagram video, saying the airline should improve its customer services and focus on the welfare of its employees. On the flip side, Dr Suriani Sudi, head of Malaysia’s ultra-conservative Islamist NGO Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia, suggested MAS to be brave to change the dress code for flight stewardesses to a “more polite” one.
