KLIA2 Delays and The Blaming Game

Fiasco in the KLIA is nothing new. When the airport opened on 27 June 1998 a week before the Hong Kong's opening. The truth was, the airport was not ready. That time I was still working with MAS, and spent weeks in KLIA, doing the volunteer jobs to help ease up the system. The gate allocation system did not work yet. So yo can find pilots were looking around for their aircraft. The airlines staff were having problem to identify which aircraft were for which flight. 
The bag tagging and sorting system did not work. The aircraft departs without the bags. You can find thousands of passengers bags laying to be identified.
In most countries that care for safety and passengers comforts, rather that records of achievements, would not open such airport.
