Malaysiakini reported today that Malaysia Airlines (MAS) is increasing its fuel surcharge by 10% to 30% on all international sectors effective from today.
With this new increase, a travel from Malaysia to India, on a single journey would be increased from RM288 to RM406 while to Australia or New Zealand be increased from RM457 to RM643 and to Britain be increased from RM575 to RM771.
It was reported that MAS had fore-warned a few days ago that it would be a “very tough” ride ahead for air travellers.
MAS Managing Director Datuk Seri Idris Jala was quoted as saying that the increase in fuel surcharge would be “competitive” since it comprise of 40% of the airline cost while jet fuel had hit a record of US$173.55 (RM560.56) a barrel on May 27 before falling to US$161.85 (RM522.77) in Singapore last Friday.
Travel Operators have expressed their disappointment on the increase in surcharge since it would affect their business.

Nostradamus Quatrains on Malaysie
In the year of the great games started by the greeks
Hosted by the nation of heavenly emperors of times before
In a land called Malaysie
Great turbulence and strife engulf
A land where a Genghis Khan’s Descendant was shred to bits
Blown by the winds to the heavenly clouds
Where the accused are finally crowned
Amid great trepidation and acrimony
Then arose among men of honor
A man of the faith of Mohammedans
Kings and Rulers let him reign
And a new nation was born
Great leaders bring forth divination and revelations
A land of many tribes divided was thus united
The color of men was blurred and lost
By great competition to give their best
Herein lies the destiny of men
Who showed the meaning of democracy and humanity
Religions and languages flourishes as times before
A land as peaceful as Shangri La
Malaysie, a stopping point of travelers must see
Back to the days of great Sultans and Rajas
Nations and men afar come to seek their wealth
Knowledge, trade and life flourishes as before
