PUTRAJAYA, Issues involving mechanical components and a lack of skilled workers are among the factors in the recent incidents of technical problems involving Malaysia Airlines Berhad (MAB) aircraft.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke said that was the result of an investigation by the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) on MAB including MAB Engineering Services (MABES) from June 24 to 28.

He said the findings were also presented at the Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim here today.

“CAAM found that a total of 63 employees out of 411 MABES employees who can certify the safety of aircraft have resigned and moved to other places,

“It is likely due to the lucrative salary offer provided by other maintenance companies,” he said in a press conference here today.
