Like one other airlines that starts with an M and ends with an S,&quot; Fernandes told the audience.&quot; <br /><br /><br />Yes, I admit. I am a true blue AirAsia fan. It&#39;s obvious that AA has helped shaped the local airline industry landscape. Tony obviously understands the Malaysians very well. He knows we all love to travel like mad and he makes our dreams come true. Hats off to you my man&#33; You definitely deserve the Malaysian Brand Icon <!--emo&:clap:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/rclxms.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rclxms.gif' /><!--endemo--> As you rightly put it - &quot;Leading brands are innovators and not IMITATORS&quot;.
