Hello to all members and thousands of daily readers,

Malaysia Airlines has launched its MAS Stimulus Package offering something for
everyone with 9 deals covering first, business and economy class travel.

This is good news for the travelling public as the extensive offering covers 7
deals for economy class travel, 1 for business and 1 for business and first
class. The best time to travel is Now with the MAS Stimulus Package.
In addition, the MAS Stimulus Package covers domestic, ASEAN and international
travel.

Malaysia Airlines Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer, Dato' Sri Idris
Jala said, "This is the best time for the public to travel as such incredible
offers are given only during a downturn! Customers are the ones to truly benefit
during this time as we are looking for innovative ways to boost load factors and
revenue.

"Never waste a good crisis. While we cannot control the operating environment,
we can control the way we run our business. These deals have been tailored to
meet what the customers want and stimulate travel demand.

"Based on the public's support to us during our travel promotions, we can see
that if they are given a choice to fly with us, they will definitely do so as we
offer the best value for their money."

Customers enjoy the benefits of flying with a full service carrier and the
service of the World's Best Cabin Crew.

This year, Malaysia Airlines' crew has won the World's Best Cabin Crew award by
Skytrax for the 6th time, and the World's 5 Star airline award by Skytrax for
the 4th consecutive year.

During the recent MATTA Travel Fair, Malaysia Airlines' revenue increased about
3X to RM11.7 million from RM3.4 million. The Malaysia Airlines Travel Fair in
February recorded a 36% growth to RM95 million in 2009 compared to RM70 million
last year.

"The MAS Stimulus Package is in line with our vision to transform into The
World's Five Star Value Carrier. It's absolutely necessary to change your
business model, and you need to change it radically to survive and win in such a
tough operating environment.

"We have been relooking at everything we have been doing since last year, making
radical changes to increase revenue. For example, in May last year, we launched
Everyday Low Fares or ELF where our online revenue grew 150%. We have been
following this through with many other initiatives and today, we unveil the MAS
Stimulus Package, offering something for everyone," Jala added.

"In just slightly over a month, sales for Grab-A- Deal and Balik Kampung have
hit more than RM17.5 million – RM12 million for Grab-A- Deal, and more than
RM5.5 million for Balik Kampung. That's incredible considering the economic
situation we are in. This shows that if you give the public what they want –
