Malaysia Airlines won the World’s Best Cabin Staff award at the World Airlines Award 2007 taking the top position in this 11 month survey, conducted between August 2006 and June 2007, in a closely contested survey between the final top 3 airlines.
Malaysia Airlines Managing Director / CEO, Idris Jala said, “I am very proud of our cabin crew and their outstanding performance. Our crew treat our customers as guests in our own home. They are natural, spontaneous, determined and willing to demonstrate the best of Malaysian hospitality.” “Throughout the year, our crew worked very hard to improve our service delivery as part of our airline-wide initiative to enhance customer experience, and I am delighted that their efforts have been recognized by the customers. This will go a long way in building our brand, customer value and relationship.” The cabin staff showcased their winning ways, and regained the award which they won for several years in the past.
Focused on the quality of onboard customer experience, the survey also looked at the “soft service” provided including cabin staff friendliness, enthusiasm and attentiveness, sincerity as well as consistency in service delivery, in addition to the usual general service efficiency.
Commenting on the survey result, Skytrax CEO, Mr Edward Plaisted said “For the last 4 weeks of this survey, we have seen the winning position move around between the final top 3 airlines several times. In the end, Malaysia Airlines’ passenger support saw them through to the 2007 title, and we congratulate them for this worthy achievement.”

Dataran Merdeka or Independence Square is smack in the middle of Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia. I was taken there for a walk there pre-Indpendence by my late mother. There was then a quaint old fountain at the corner near Jalan Pasar Besar. Now that had been replaced by some structure which include the “tallest flagpole in the world”. Below is a wide photo of the pre-war Royal Selangor Club in front of the padang or grass field

The oldest part of the club is towards the left. In the background at the top of the hill is Bukit Aman Police Headquarter. Here is the main section of the Royal Selangor Club itself which is the newest part of the club:

Facing the Royal Selangor Club, on the right side of Dataran Merdeka, is the Saint Mary Cathedral, an Anglican Church:
