The Transport Minister has announced the appointment of Nungsari Ahmad Radhi as the new Executive Chairman of Malaysian Aviation Commission, MAVCOM, effective immediately.



Nungsari will assume all executive duties formerly undertaken by the former Executive Chairman, General Tan Sri Abdullah Ahmad, who left the commission in early July.



The new MAVCOM Chairman's allowance will be capped at RM15,000, the same as the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia's, CAAM Chairman. 



Loke added that the appointment has received the approval of Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.



The Prime Minister had ealier given instructions for the statutory body to have salary review after the quantum of allowance of its Executive Chairman, became an issue when it was revealed that Tan Sri Abdullah's 
monthly salary was RM85,000.



On the appointment of Nungsari, the Prime Minister said he was confident that Nungsari, a holder of a PHD in Economics, would be able to discharge his duties well considering that he had been a member of MAVCOM.

We streamline the allowances of chairmen of the two statutory bodies. So both chairmen will have their allowances streamlined to RM15,000 each. Streamlining the allowances of chairmen of statutory bodies is our new policy.)
