Question 4
Read the article about a famous personality.
Not many people would recognise the name Tan Sri Anthony Francis Fernandes but
he is none other than theentrepreneur who rose to prominence by turning AirAsia, a failing
commercial airline into a successful budget air company and introducing the now famous tag
line “Now everybody can fly”.
Tony Fernandes was born on 30 April 1964 in Kuala Lumpur. He completed his
secondary education at Epsom College, London and graduated from the London School of
Economics in 1987. Fernandes was admitted as Associate Member of the Association of
Chatered Certified Accountants (ACCA) in 1991 and became Fellow Member in 1996.
Upon his return to Malaysia, he became the youngest Managing Director of Warner
Music and subsequently became the South-east Asian Regional Vice-President of Warner
Music Group. Fernandes then left to pursue his dream of starting a budget airline. In 2001 he
had the opportunity to meet with Tun Mahathir who advised him to buy an existing airline
rather than start a new one. Fernandes mortgaged his home and used his savings to buy
AirAsia.
The purchase occurred just after the September 11 terrorist attacks in America and
many people thought that Fernandes was crazy to venture into airline industry at such time.
Yet one year after his takeover, Fernandesbroke even and cleared all his debts. The rest, as
they say, is history.
Fernandes was named ‘Malaysian CEO of the Year’ in 2003 and has since been
named the recipient of other prestigious business awards around the world. He has also
been honoured by the Yang DipertuanAgong of Malaysia and the governments of France
and Britain.

7. TERHAD
He has indeed done the country proud. He is not likely to rest on his laurels and is
definitely destined for greater success in the future.

Question 5
Read the poem below carefully. Then, answer questions (a) – (d).
The River
The River's a wanderer,
A nomad, a tramp,
He doesn't choose one place
To set up his camp.
The River's a winder,
Through valley and hill
He twists and he turns,
He just cannot be still.
The River's a hoarder
And he buries down deep
Those little treasures
That he wants to keep.
The River's a baby,
He gurgles and hums,
And sounds like he's happily
Sucking histhumbs.
The River's a singer.
As he dances along,
The countryside echoes
The notes of his song.
The River's a monster
Hungry and vexed,
He's gobbled up trees
And he'll swallow you next.
