Greetings to all members and readers,

Malaysia Airlines, the only Malaysian full frills carrier that
continues to serve complimentary inflight meals since 1972, will roll
out its new Indian menu effective 1 November 2008.
The new menu items continue to remain complimentary in all classes of
its international medium and long haul flights irrespective of fare
paid.

Malaysia Airlines General Manager Inflight Services, Puan Hayati Dato
Ali said, "We aim to deliver outstanding inflight food and beverage
offerings in our efforts to position our brand as a Five Star Value
Carrier using the most creative, innovative and exceptional inflight
meal standards as well as quality set along the HALAL benchmark".

"This Customer Value Proposition initiative is one of the outcomes of
our established partnerships and relationships with internationally
renowned brands, restaurants, celebrity chefs and catering
personalities for related premium products and services to be
featured on our flights. Through this initiative, we hope to create
better and positive passenger perception of our food and beverage
products via stronger focus on route specific needs," she added.

Conceptualised with the joint effort of Malaysia Airlines' main
caterer LSG Skychefs and Chef Satish Arora and Chef Kannan from
TajSATS, India the new menu cycle will see a refreshed array of
authentic Indian vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals served inflight
on all Malaysia Airlines' flights between Malaysia and India.

Among others, passengers will get to relish cuisines like Chettinad
chicken, Kerala Vegetarian curry, Kodaikaanal mutton, Chettinad
cauliflower/mushroom curry, Gongra lamb, Chettinad Garlic chicken and
Vegetable rice Briyani depending on the actual meal cycles applicable
on each flight.

In conjunction with this new menu roll-out, Chef Satish was on board
Malaysia Airlines flights from Mumbai to KLIA on 22 October 2008 and
from KLIA to Mumbai on 24 Oct 2008, where he personally presented the
new menu meals to the delight of passengers on both flights.

During this onboard customer engagement, quality checks on meals
served were conducted. The valuable feedback from the passengers on
both these flights was also incorporated in the new menu for roll out
effective 1 November 2008.

One of DK Malaysia's main goals is to promote investment, business
opportunities, trade, travel and tourism in Malaysia and to assist
MIDA, MITI, MATRADE and Tourism Malaysia achieve their goals and
objectives. I look forward to hearing from all of you and have a
great day.
