State tourism minister: Sarawak wants to take over MASwings, but not its liabilities

KUCHING, June 28 — The Sarawak state government is still negotiating with the federal government, particularly on liabilities, before making a final decision on the take-over of MASwings from Malaysia Airlines , state Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said today.

“However, we cannot just grab it. Are we going to take over the liabilities of MASwings as well?” he asked during a press conference to announce the date of the inaugural umrah flight from Kuching to Saudi Arabia. He said if eventually, the takeover does take place, MASwings will be incorporated into an airline that the state government will set up through the existing state-owned Hornbill Skyways Sdn Bhd.
