READING MATERIAL

Many years before, not many people would recognize the name Tan Sri Anthony Francis
Fernandes but now he is none other than the entrepreneur who rose to prominence by turning AirAsia, a
failing commercial airline into a successful budget airline company and introducing the famous tagline
Now everybody can fly.
th

Tony Fernandes was born on 30 April 1964 in Kuala Lumpur. He completed his secondary
education at Epsom College, London and graduated from London School of Economics in 1987.
Fernandes was admitted as Associate Member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants
(ACCA) in 1991 and became Fellow Member in 1996.
Upon his return to Malaysia, he became the youngest Managing Director of Warner Music and
subsequently became the South East Asian Regional Vice President of Warner Music Group. Fernandes
then left to pursue his dream of starting a budget airline. In 2001, he had the opportunity to meet with
Tun Dr. Mahathir who advised him to buy an existing airline rather than start a new one. Fernandes
mortgaged his home and used his savings to buy AirAsia.
Fernandes was named Malaysian CEO of the Year in 2003 and has since been named the
recipient of other prestigious business awards around the world. He has also been honoured by the Yang
Dipertuan Agong of Malaysia and the governments of France and Britain. He has indeed done the
country proud. He is not likely to rest on his laurels and is definitely destined for greater success in the
future.

NEWS BREAK by Max Fatchen

Now why so loving, darling.

Today, you are a lamb, love.

And why the sudden kiss?

Where yesterday a rebel.

Youd help me with some little jobs?

For goodness sake, whats this?

But surely youre some stranger,

No rage or hullabaloo.

Your face is clean for once, dear.

Come closer, let me look, dear.

Your clothes without crease.

Can this be really you?

You saved your luncheon money?

Will wonders never cease?

Now were you struck by lightning

Or were you stunned at sport?

No dropping of your school books,

Ah now I see the reason.

No shrieking, childish treble.

Youve brought your school report!
