• The Low Cost Carrier Terminal, or LCCT, is a project specifically designed and built to accommodate the high growth of passenger movements for the Low Cost Airlines, especially the passengers of Malaysia's first 'no-frills' airline, Air Asia.
• Located about 20km away from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport's Main Terminal Building (MTB), the 35,290 square meters LCCT was constructed on a fast-track basis at the beginning of June 2005 and it's fully operational on 23rd March 2006. The total construction and other related costs of LCC Terminal are about RM108 million.
• The LCCT is supported by the existing parking apron and additional infrastructure such as surface access, curbside road, car parks, and other utilities are available. In observance to the Low Cost Carrier (LCC) business model, it is designed to facilitate the passengers' movement of international and domestic departures and arrivals within a single floor operation area.
• This terminal is managed and operated by Malaysia Airports (Sepang) Sdn Bhd.

BERITADARIGUNUNG: It cant always be fair, if a person is seen guilty by association. Like what Steve Martin said in Pink Panther ; "Crime is like a jigsaw puzzle, you have a jig, and you must have a saw. But where is your saw?" .

Even Shahrir Samad noticed that early on, but he was quick enough not to ask probing questions and shut his mouth and the case.
