It's August 13, 2008 when this piece of good news for Malaccans was published by Bernama and everyone was looking at the timely expansion of the decades old airport.
2 years down the road after all the mega-spending to expand the airport, we have yet to see Air Asia and MAS planes landing on the newly laid airstrips of Batu Berendam airport.
Have the RM131.5million public funds been wasted? Are all the announcements pure marketing gimmicks?
Or the newer Airbus and Boeing 737 planes acquired by Air Asia and MAS proves a little too much for the runways despite the additional RM40million allocated by Federal Government to expand the runway to 2,200 metres.
Well, Melaka folks are still waiting till today for Mohd Ali to fulfil of what he had promised on airport handling 1.5 million tourists and rake in RM1 billion revenue when it is fully operational.
