Have emailed MAS as well as tweeted the question as to whether the F lounge has a date to re-open. No answer unfortunately.
According to the agents - it's supposed to be the end of the month. Problem is this: In January and early February, there are a whole bunch (i mean a LOT) of public holidays in Malaysia.
Jan 1: New Year's day
Jan 14: Maulidur Rasul (Prophet Muhamad's birthday)
Jan 14: Yam Tuan of Negeri Sembilan's birthday, which spills over into the 15th (I hear some of the work is done by a Negeri Sembilan contractor)
Jan 17th: Thaipusam
Jan 31st: Chinese new year
Feb 1st; Chinese new year
Feb 1st: Federal Territory day
On all these days, no work is done, and it's hard starting and stopping work rather than going continuously throughout. I predict a date closer to Mid Feb knowing how things work around here.
