| The Consumers’ Association of Penang is strongly against the Ministry of Transport’s decision to merge the Malaysian Aviation Commission and the Civil Aviation Authority Malaysia .
This decision by the ministry is highly disappointing as it shows the minister’s shortsightedness. Let us not forget that when CAAM was downgraded, the Institute of Malaysian and International Studies of University Kebangsaan Malaysia came out to say that they had done studies on the regulatory body and they found that CAAM lacked manpower and the staff that they had were inexperienced and underpaid.
So why is a self-sufficient regulatory body that is functioning as it should be being disbanded in favour of a regulatory body that is struggling, inefficient and incompetent? We also believe that Mavcom can function as a good check and balance on the ministry as they do not answer to the minister but straight to Parliament. This would be in line with the government’s policy to promote good governance and not by bringing it under the control of the ministry. They also do not get funding from the government but are funded by just RM1 from every outgoing airline passenger.
