In a mobile footage shared on Facebook by one of AirAsia staff, Tony is seen asking his airline staff to "look after bags better, ok?".

He tells them that every day someone complains to him "about bags".

"Please look after bags better. Ok? Every day I got someone emailing me about bags.

"Don't throw the bags anymore, kiss the bags," Tony says in the video that was uploaded on Facebook on Thursday, 15 February.
