Transport Minister Anthony Loke warned his predecessor Wee Ka Siong not to create panic over an alleged confidence crisis in Malaysia Airlines (MAS) after a spate of incidents involving its aircraft.

While acknowledging there is concern among the public, Loke (above) said there is no need to question MAS and Malaysia Aviation Group’s (MAG) professionalism in handling such situations.

“For me, I do not doubt MAG’s professionalism.

“I have always believed they will ensure everything is done safely. But of course, we are not downplaying the concerns,” he said in a press conference at the Transport Ministry in Putrajaya today.

Last Friday, Wee said MAS appeared to be suffering a confidence crisis and urged the government and Transport Ministry to intervene.
