Is roti canai that expensive nowadays?It is said that the price of a roti canai is equal to the price of an airplane ticket to Singapore.
AirAsia group chief executive officer Datuk Tony Fernandes, who flew on the inaugural flight into the island republic, likened the cost of travel between the two countries now to the "price of a roti canai". AirAsia will be plying the route with two flights daily.
If anybody buys from AirAsia for an air ticket to Singapore and pays more than the price of roti canai they should report it to the Consumer Compliant Bureau. This statement made by the CEO of AirAsia must not be intended to mislead the people or to misrepresent the true facts of what it is which runs contrary to the provisions in the Misrepresentation Act 1967. All what is needed is that a claimant had believed in the statement, which is a promise, and had taken it as a true statement, acted upon it by offering to pay for the ticket at the price of a roti canai, which constitute a detriment, and of which it will become unconscionable for the promisor to renege from his promise.
Have a good holiday to Singapore by flying AirAsia!

He will probably back track on that and say that he meant before fees, taxes, surcharges and what have you !!!
The Mamak stall owners will not take too kindly to this remark.
you don need to be serious with his statement, don't you.
look at the bright side, without him not many ppl able to travel by plane at low cost. he has made malaysia proud to have most successful no frill airline in the region. and he's giving free tickets away to singapore, isn't this consider cheaper than roti canai, although is short period of time ?
According to what Tony Fernandes said, roti canai must cost an average of RM 118.50 each! (if buying the 'free' fare ticket).
Is inflation that bad?
I blogged about this too, and got the real cost of the AirAsia air tickets to/from S'pore from AirAsia web site.
A blatant misinterpretation indeed.
Pratta Please,
That's the trick of No-Frills!
Denzook,
If we look on a bright side, a side that is opposite MAS, then, yes, you are right.
But if we look only a possible brighter side, whereby the govt opens up the sky, then you'll see another side of this misrepresentation.
Mindful Mariner,
You speak the facts; it's factual, that is, there's clear misrepresentation and misleading the public. I do not disagree that AirAsia is giving the public something that is uncommon with MAS, but that does not mean it should mislead and misrepresent itself.
"If anybody buys from AirAsia for an air ticket to Singapore and pays more than the price of roti canai they should report it to the Consumer Compliant Bureau. "
For real? We can do that?
Oh man, if it is the price of Roti Canai, I will go there every other weekend. Great shopping over there.
you sure it's misinterpretation act thing?
LOL. Yeah right, price of roti canai , with ToC(Terms of Condition) apply, read the fine print ;)
Zewt, there is misinterpretation act for advertisement. However, ToC apply ;) Many consortium and government itself always get away from false advertisement.
Constant_Drama,
Ya; take the newspaper and the online quote of $0.00.
Zewt,
I mean it.
Moo_t,
There are sufficient legal grounds.
Fly for a price of roti canai & while on board, buy a roti canai for a price of an airline ticket... :)
