State investment fund Khazanah Nasional Bhd should get its hands off Malaysia Airlines (MAS) or any other airline, the National Union of Flight Attendants Malaysia (Nufam) said today.

Since taking over MAS in 2002, Khazanah has had little to show for, except a succession of management changes and short-lived chief executives, Nufam president Ismail Nasaruddin said.

Ismail called for MAS to be placed under another party that is familiar with the running of an airline – even through privatisation, if necessary.
