The Apprentice Asia : Masih ingat lagi rancangan The Apprentice yang pernah ditayangkan dulu? Masih ingat lagi dengan ungkapan “You’re Fired” yang terkenal itu? Kini, AXN menerusi saluran Astro 701 menampilkan rancangan baru bertajuk The Apprentice Asia dan program itu dikatakan bakal menarik perhatian penonton-penonton Asia pada 22 Mei 2013 ini.
Siapa yang pernah lupa dengan rancangan asal The Apprentice yang dihoskan oleh jutawan terkenal, Donald Trump dulu yang telah berjaya menjadi salah satu rancangan hangat di seluruh dunia sejak ditayangkan pertama kali di Amerika Syarikat pada tahun 2004. Pendek kata, setiap kali rancangan The Apprentice ni bersiaran, pasti ramai yang terkaku di depan televisyen.
Kadang-kadang tu bukan pasal apa.Sebab nak tengok siapa yang kena “You’re Fired”.
Mengetengahkan konsep yang sedikit berbeza dari cerita asal, The Apprentice Asia akan dihoskan oleh hartawan syarikat penerbangan dari Malaysia iaitu Tan Sri Tony Fernandes dan diterbitkan oleh Fremantle Media Asia yang juga menerbitkan The Apprentice edisi Indonesia dan Australia sebelum ini.
The Apprentice Asia : Tony Fernandes
Tan Sri Dr. Tony Fernandes
Group Chief Executive Officer, AirAsia
Wow...akak baru tau yang Tony Fernandes adalah seorang pemegang Ph.D.
Tak perlulah akak cerita banyak pasai beliau. U olls semua pun lebih
mengenali beliau kan? Taikun bisnes yang amat dikenali di Malaysia ini.
Group Chief Executive Officer, AirAsia. Tan Sri Dr. Tony Fernandes has a personal credo – “Believe the unbelievable. Dream the impossible. Never take no for an answer”. He graduated from Epsom College, UK, London School of Economics and has been the Group CEO of AirAsia since December 2001.
Prior to AirAsia, he was the Financial Controller of Virgin Communications London before joining Warner Music International London in 1989. He was promoted to Managing Director, Warner Music Malaysia in 1992 and to Regional Managing Director, ASEAN, Warner Music South East Asia in 1996.

Amongst the many awards Tony has received, the most recent award is: Honor of the Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, conferred on him for services to promote commercial and educational links between the UK and Malaysia. He was named as one of the world’s most creative people in business for 2011 by New York-based business magazine Fast Company, and awarded the Inaugural ‘Travel Business Leaders Award’ winner by CNBC.
Seperti yang umum ketahui, Tony bukanlah calang-calang ahli korporat perniagaan. Beliau telah berjaya mengangkat nama AirAsia ke persada dunia dan berjaya dipilih sebagai Best CEO for Malaysia oleh Corporate Governance. AirAsia sendiri berjaya memenangi anugerah World’s Best Low-Cost Airline dari tahun 2009 hingga 2012.
