Congratulation to Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes

Congratulation to Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes of being conferred the Commander of the Order of the British Empire award by Queen Elizabeth II in London yesterday (March 31, 2011).
We are proud of Datuk Seri and wish continued success as the AirAsia group CEO.
Info: The CBE is the second major award conferred on Fernandes in Europe.
In 2010, the French government conferred upon him the title of Officier of the Legion d’honneur, the highest award for non-French national, for his outstanding contributions to the aviation industry.
Fernandes was also recently named “Asia Businessmen of the Year 2010” by the international magazine Forbes.
The CBE award is given in recognition of his “services to promote commercial and educational links” between the United Kingdom and Malaysia.
Fernandes said in a statement “More than a personal honour, the award will serve as a catalyst to further enhance relations betweeen the two countries, particularly in the areas of business, culture, and education”.
