In the context of the USA, Miss Satya and Miss Indra are both pendatang or immigrants but yet went on to head two icons of the USA - Microsoft and Pepsi Cola because the board of directors believed they are the best persons for the job. What else can be deemed more American than Microsoft or Pepsi Cola ? Now, in the case of Malaysia Airlines, do we want the best talent in the world to be in charge of making Malaysia Airlines the best global airlines in the world or do we want the best talent in Malaysia to make Malaysia Airlines the best (and most profitable) airlines in Malaysia?
