Tony Fernandes holds to his promise, free tickets to Bangkok

Social media users anxiously waiting for the ‘surprise’ promised by AirAsia Group Chief Executive Officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes in his tweet last night, were finally furnished with an answer on Friday. In his tweet at 10am, Tony said he will be giving away free tickets to five best dressed Harimau Malaya fans who posted pictures on Twitter to witness the final match in Bangkok. This includes their lodging at Tune Hotels in the Thai capital.

Okay I gave 5 free tickets to harimau fans who are best dressed to support Malaysia in final.
