Tony Fernandes meets Pope Francis
BY P. DIVAKARAN
PETALING JAYA: AirAsia group chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes has asked Pope Francis to pray for Malaysia so "that all races could love each other and together build a better country".
In an Instagram post on Sunday, Fernandes said that although he has met many leaders, monarchs and celebrities, meeting the Pope was "incredible", adding that his father would have been "super happy".
Fernandes also posted a picture of himself shaking hands with the Pope during his recent visit to the Vatican.
"He (Pope Francis) gave me encouragement that business leaders can make a difference to society and gave me the energy to continue. Simple, humble, smart, outspoken, a man of the people," he said.
Fernandes said that he had asked the Pope to pray for Malaysia "so that all races could love each other and together build a better country".
"He (Pope Francis) opened my eyes and gave me energy and strength to continue to do good," he added.
Earlier in the week, Fernandes said he was looking forward to his meeting with Pope Francis, asking Facebook followers for ideas on what he should say or ask His Holiness.
