Travelling Malaysians != sign of economic recovery
Headlines in the NST today: travel tsunami. It seems lots of people fly away during the Lunar New Year period. And they equate this to a sign of good economic times. A few thoughts:
1. A lot of families take trips during CNY. Schools are off for a week. Closing down the house and taking a much needed vacation is what people do. 2. Airline tickets are virtually free now that we have budget airlines like AirAsia. And with MAS realising they need to compete, their prices have dropped too. With some early planning, truly, everyone can fly ;)
