Question 4
Read the article about a famous personality.

SULIT

Not many people would recognise the name Tan Sri Anthony Francis Fernandes but he is none other than
the entrepreneur who rose to prominence by turning Air Asia, a failing commercial airline into a successful
budget air company and introducing the now famous tag line Now everybody can fly.
Tony Fernandes was born on 30 April 1964 in Kuala Lumpur. He completed his secondary
education at Epsom College, London and graduated from the London School of Economics in 1987.
Fernandes was admitted as Associate Member of the Association of Chattered Certified Accountants
(ACCA) in 1991 and became Fellow Member in 1996.
Upon his return to Malaysia, he became the youngest Managing Director of Warner Music and
subsequently became the South-east Asian Regional Vice-President of Warner Music Group. Fernandes
then left to pursue his dream of starting a budget airline. In 2001 he had the opportunity to meet with Tun
Mahathir who advised him to buy an existing airline rather than start a new one. Fernandes mortgaged his
home and used his savings to buy Air Asia.
The purchase occurred just after the September 11 terrorist attacks in America and many people
thought that Fernandes was crazy to venture into airline industry at such time. Yet one year after his
takeover, Fernandes broke even and cleared all his debts. The rest, as they say, is history.
Fernandes was named Malaysian CEO of the Year in 2003 and has since been named the
recipient of other prestigious business awards around the world. He has also been honoured by the Yang
Dipertuan Agong of Malaysia and the governments of France and Britain.
He has indeed done the country proud. He is not likely to rest on his laurels and is definitely
destined for greater success in the future.
