New management vows to pay unpaid salaries of existing and former staff.
PETALING JAYA: The new management of the Automobile Association of Malaysia says it will get the troubled company back on track in six months. The company, popular over the decades for its auto-assistance services, is now known Stoper AAM.
Its CEO Asa Fan told FMT: “I am giving myself six months, even though it seems like a long time, but I hope many things can be changed.”
It had been reported that AAM failed to pay the salaries of some 300 staff for three months and that many customers had not renewed their memberships.
Asa said former and existing staff who were still owed their wages would be paid.
“I promise that everyone who has worked for AAM but has not been paid will get their salaries owed to them, although not all at once.”
Asa said some 101 people still worked there and he welcomed former staff, who worked under the old management, to return.
“We are here to help turn things around. This is our only motive. Once everything is okay, we will leave,” he said.
Asa, who is also the CEO of Stoper Industries Holdings Sdn Bhd, a defence equipment supplier, said he believes AAM’s woes stemmed from poor management.
“I visited several branches and was shocked to hear that no CEO or chairman had ever visited the branches.
“Looking at the situation, I cannot help but feel sad, and my team and I are determined to turn things around.”
Earlier this week, it was reported that Stoper Industries had completed its takeover of the debt-ridden AAM.
