Air Asia highlighted that three incentive schemes highlighted by MAHB, namely the Airlines Recovery Plan (ARP), Airlines Incentive Programme (I) and Airlines Incentive Programme (II), were applicable to all airlines, not just to AirAsia.
The low-cost airline is commenting to the statement titled “Low-cost travel growth in Malaysia boomed in the last decade” made by Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) on 24 July 2018 claiming AirAsia has benefited from incentives to the tune of RM376 million up until 2017.
The Association of Banks in Malaysia (ABM) and National Cards Group (NCG) reassure the public that the unauthorised contactless transation via POS terminal incident did not occur in Malaysia and that such fraudulent activity is unlikely to happen due to the stringent merchant onboarding process undertaken by the banks and/or financial institutions.
Reference is made to a video circulating on social media platforms recently which features a man using a portable Point-of-Sale (POS) terminal to perform an unauthorised contactless transaction by tapping the POS terminal to the pocket of the cardholder which contains a contactless payment card.
