Poser over flammable batteries in MH370's cargo

The spotlight has once again fallen on the cargo of the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 after authorities today confirmed the aircraft was carrying lithium-ion batteries which can be highly flammable.

The confirmation by MAS chief executive officer Ahmad Jauhari Yahya today comes just four days after he denied the aircraft was carrying any hazardous goods and instead highlighted the "three to four tonnes of mangosteen" on the plane.

"We carried some lithium-ion small batteries, they are not big batteries and they are basically approved under the ICAO (The International Civil Aviation Organisation) under dangerous goods.

"It (lithium-ion battery) is not dangerous goods per se but in terms (of) they are (being) declared as dangerous goods under ICAO," he told a daily briefing on the search of MH370 at Sama-Sama Hotel, KL International Airport.

Jauhari insisted the lithium-ion battery cargo was checked “several times” to ensure it was packed in accordance with ICAO guidelines.

“Airlines do that all the time, it is not just Malaysia Airlines. These goods are being flown by many airlines as cargo anyway, (which) is based on ICAO’s ruling,” he added.

According to the US-based Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a total of 141 air incidents involving batteries carried as cargo or baggage were recorded between March 20, 1991 until Feb 17 this year.

‘Battery fires caused crashes before’

In rare cases, entire aircraft have been destroyed as a result of fires started from lithium-ion batteries, with the most recent cases being Asiana Airlines Flight 991 and UPS Airlines Flight 6, though both incidences involved cargo aircraft.

In the case of UPS Airlines Flight 6 which took off from Dubai to Cologne, Germany, it crashed after attempting an emergency landing at Dubai International Airport on Sept 3, 2010, killing the crew members.

The United Arab Emirates’ General Civil Aviation Authority, in a 322-page report of the incident published in 2013, concluded that the crash was linked to fire started by lithium-ion batteries in the cargo.

The report said the pilot had to leave his seat in search for portable oxygen on the smoke-filled flight deck after which the Boeing 747-400F lost communication.

“It is possible that a lithium-type battery or batteries, for reasons which cannot be established, went into an energetic failure characterised by thermal runaway and auto ignited, starting a chain reaction which spread to the available combustible material,” the report said.

Following such concerns, the ICAO last year imposed a new rule requiring any shipment containing more than two lithium-ion batteries to comply with a detailed hazardous goods requirement.

‘Possibility overlooked’

The possibility of fire as a result of lithium-ion batteries that led to the loss of Flight MH370 was first raised by CNN on Mach 14, but little attention was paid to it as authorities declined to reveal the content of the plane’s cargo.

Flight MH370 on the KL-Beijing route lost communication with traffic control on March 8 at 1.30am over the Gulf of Thailand.

The plane’s loss triggered a massive search in the South China Sea, but it was revealed by military data that the plane had made a turn-back and flew into the vast unknown.

Investigators have established that the aircraft’s last-known location to be somewhere between the borders of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan to the northern Thai border, or from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean.

However, after 14 days of a multinational search involving 26 countries, the plane had yet to be found.

Anwar: Who leaked info to Daily Mail?
K Pragalath
| March 22, 2014

Anwar Ibrahim has questioned how the UK Daily Mail found out about his family links with the pilot of ill-fated MH370.

Anwar Daily Mail UKKAJANG: Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim said someone had tipped off information to British newspaper Daily Mail on his links with captain of MH370 Zaharie Ahmad Shah and news was immediately picked up by Umno cybertroopers.

“The minute the newspaper published the information Umno cybertroopers and mainstream media went to town with it,” said the PKR supremo during Himpunan Reformasi 2.0 assembly at Kajang Stadium last night.

“Who passed the information to The Daily Mail that Zaharie is related to me?” asked Anwar.

The Daily Mail is the first newspaper that reported Zaharie’s links to Anwar. Zaharie is a distant relative and a life member of PKR.

Earlier, Anwar called for Defence Minister Hishamuddin Hussein’s resignation for failing to ensure the security of the nation.

The MH370 flight carrying 239 passengers and crew members went missing on March 8. The Beijing-bound flight made a U-turn and is believed to have headed out towards the Indian Ocean.

Himpunan Reformasi 2.0 assembly was held to show solidarity support for people who have been victims of selective persecution and to shore up support for Anwar’s wife Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

Azizah, who is also PKR president, is contesting against MCA vice-president Chew Mei Fun for the Kajang state seat tomorrow.

The Kajang state seat fell vacant following the resignation of incumbent assemblyman Lee Chin Cheh of PKR on Jan 27.

The state seat comprises 39,728 registered voters. In the last general election in May 2013, the seat saw a voter turnout of 87.9% with 541 spoilt votes.

Anwar tells Hisham to quit
K Pragalath
| March 22, 2014

In making the call, PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim says the Defence Minister failed to secure the nation's security evident from the missing MH370.

hishammuddin anwar ibrahimKAJANG: Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim late last night demanded for the resignation of acting Defence Minister Hishammuddin Tun Hussein for failing to secure the nation’s security in the wake of the missing MH 370.

“Why was the Marconi radar not working? The government purchased that radar but there was no mention of it in the reports.

“If this question cannot be answered, then the Defence Minister must resign. National security is at stake,” Anwar told about 10,000 supporters at the Himpunan Reformasi 2.0 rally in Kajang here..

The Marconi radar was purchased by the government when Anwar was the Defence Minister in mid-1990s. The radar is located at Gong Kapas, Terengganu.

Flight MH370 flight carrying 239 passengers and crew went missing on March 8 on a routine flight from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport to Beijing, China.

The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft went missing on civilian radar, heading for Vietnam, as it was passing the South China Sea. An hour later the plane was spotted by the military radar in the western side of peninsula Malaysia, near Pulau Perak, heading towards the Andaman Sea.

Search and rescue teams from 27 countries are currently scouring through the Andaman Sea, the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean to find the runaway plane.

Anwar also called for Hishammuddin’s resignation for the failure by the military to identify MH370, when it was spotted on military radar.

He said the government should not cast any aspersions on the pilot of the ill fated flight Capt Zaharie Ahmad Shah.

“It is you who is complacent and failed to maintain the radar. Do not blame Zaharie. He is competent and professional,” said Anwar.

The Opposition Leader, just after the plane went missing, denied knowing the pilot but later retracted the statement when it was made known that Zaharie was an uncle of his daughter-in-law.

The PKR supremo also said the government’s handling of the whole MH370 fiasco showed that it lacked transparency.

“This is the first time China has come out strongly against us. You failed to share information and this caused China and its people to be upset,” said Anwar.

The Himpunan Reformasi 2.0 rally was held to show solidarity to Anwar and DAP national chairman Karpal Singh who are seen as victims of selective persecution and to shore up support for PKR candidate Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail in the Kajang by-election which will see polling tomorrow.

The theme for the assembly is ‘Return justice and end tyranny’. Similar assemblies are in the pipeline throughout the nation and the final rally would be held in Kuala Lumpur.

As for the Kajang by-election contested by his wife, Azizah and MCA vice-president Chew Mei Fun, he urged voters to avoid scuffles.

“Don’t cause traffic congestion as we have concerns that some parties may use that as a reason to sabotage the by-election,” he said.

The Kajang state seat fell vacant following the resignation of incumbent assemblymen Lee Chin Cheh of PKR on Jan 27. Early polling would be held on March 19.

The state seat comprises 39,728 registered voters. At the last general election in May 2013, the seat saw a voter turnout of 87.9% with 541 spoilt votes.

Good morning, friends. The search for ‪#‎MH370‬ has entered its 14th day. We're hoping and praying that the aircraft will be found as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, UK tabloid the Daily Mail wonders if the cargo of Li-Ion batteries on board the plane could have anything to do with its disappearance. Read about it here: http://bit.ly/1djY9Ae

Posted by micchen > 2014-03-22 12:15 | Report Abuse

I was puzzled when the french reporter asked Hisham "Are you protected?". Later she clarified she was asking is Hisham being protected from being fired. Now Anwar is calling for Hishammuddin’s resignation for the failure by the military to identify MH370....WOW WOW WOW.

Is it just me? Do you guys see a big plot underway to destroy the incumbent government? and Malaysia as a country? Anwar + Foreign Power. I strongly believe South East Asia will become the next target of American military expansion and wars. In Malaysia, Anwar is helping them, as he wants to be KING of Malaysia.

The BIG QUESTIONS...

1. Does Anwar Ibrahim have a hand in the disappearance of MH370?
2. Does he know the plane's whereabouts?
3. Did United States and its allies help Anwar with this conspiracy?
4. Does every entities I mentioned above have their own interest kidnapping the plane full of Chinese Nationals?

Why I'm asking all these question, see below...

Clues:
1. Anwar Ibrahim denied entry into Japan. Was it pre-planned by Anwar Ibrahim by not following Japan's immigration procedure. Why??
2. Anwar Ibrahim has demanded Putrajaya to explain the role it played in his forceful denial of entry into Japan. Why??
3. Hoping to play as a victim of dirty politic and try to gain support of his supporters to riot in KL city? Maybe...
4. Anwar Ibrahim to quit as Permatang Pauh MP if he wished to contest the vacant Kajang state seat to become the Selangor Menteri Besar. Why?? Because..
5. Anwar sodomy trial result will potentially cost him his Malaysia Prime Minister dream, and cost his chance to take revenge of those who put him through the miseries back in late 1990s. He hope his supporters will riot when he is disqualified.
6. Coincidentally the missing flight of MH370.
7. Zaharie is the Captain of flight MH370. Is it a Plan B by Anwar Ibrahim?
8. Zaharie is Anwar's in-laws, good friend, and life membership of political party under Anwar Ibrahim.
9. Zaharie Ahmad Shah attended Anwar sodomy trial hours before flight MH370 took off.
10. The surface of the reports of Flight MH370 landed at a secret CIA Base at U-Tapao, Thailand? and lies of the US Governments and the cover up.
11. Was Zaharie Ahmad just a patsy like the Kennedy's assassin? Did Anwar betrayed his in-laws for his own sake, as Anwar don't want to go to grave without achieving his life goals.
12. Did Boeing override the MH370 control panel and remote control MH370 landed somewhere, and ultimately hide the plane? Was it a false flag, was the New Zealand oil worker a false witness seeing the plane goes down in flames, giving the world a perception the plane was shot down by Vietnam Air force?

------------------------------
Before you give me the answer, do ask yourself....
Why there're so many coincidences as mentioned above involving Anwar with the missing of flight MH370?
Anwar has so many political friends like United States, who have a big interest in getting South East Asia in chaos, as they did it before, together with George Soros during the Asian economy crisis.

When I'm connecting all the dots, the leads is pointing towards UNITED STATES, AGAIN!!!!!

The final big question, what is United States doing, are they planning big wars in South East Asia???? As they couldn't get their was going in the Middle East?

Malaysian Airlines today confirmed that flight MH370 had been carrying highly flammable lithium-ion batteries in its cargo hold, re-igniting speculation that a fire may have caused its disappearance.
The admission by CEO Ahmad Jauhari comes four days after he denied the aircraft was carrying any dangerous items and nearly two weeks after the plane went missing.
He said the authorities were investigating the cargo, but did not regard the batteries as hazardous - despite the law dictating they are classed as such - because they were packaged according to safety regulations.

Now maybe we know why they have so much to hide..

5 Eyes in the Sky: The TRUTH about Flight MH370 and SPOOKSATS

By Simon Sharwood
The Register
21 Mar 2014

Comment That the US and other nations operate spy satellites capable of taking very detailed photographs of Earth is not in doubt. But the idea that those satellites have been pressed into service to find downed Malaysian Airlines flight MH370, and that it is therefore possible to infer some of the satellites’ capabilities, is very debatable.

That’s not stopped some of the media from suggesting that the reason Australia’s Maritime Safety Authority did not mention the source of the images it used as the basis for its decision to explore the Southern Ocean, was because to do so would reveal that they came from a military satellite.

In these post-Snowden days, such hints are serious stuff. The public knows a lot more about the scale and scope of US surveillance efforts than it did this time last year. Interest in such information remains keen.

But speculation the candidate MH370 debris was found by spooksats is obviously dubious, because the images ASMA has released are clearly marked as having their copyright assigned to DigitalGlobe, a US-based outfit known to operate at least three imaging satellites and which last year boasted it can, on request, photograph anywhere on Earth every 12 hours.

Also a well-established fact is that the US imaging satellite operators like DigitalGlobe are prevented from letting the public access the highest-resolution photographs their craft can capture. Those restrictions are made by the US government and DigitalGlobe appealed against them in September 2013.

As this report to a US Senate committee illustrates, that request has been taken seriously, largely for commercial reasons:

The Committee understands that a commercial data provider has requested licensing approval to collect and sell on the open market, electro-optical imagery with a ground sample distance of 0.25-meter. Recognizing the ability of U.S. commercial imagery providers to contribute more substantially to the national security mission at a lower cost point, and consistent with the U.S. policy of enabling U.S. companies to maintain a leadership position in this industry, the Committee encourages the GEOINT functional manager and the DNI to promptly review this licensing request. The Committee is concerned that foreign commercial imagery providers may soon be able to provide imagery at or better than the currently allowed commercial U.S. resolution limit of 0.5 meters. As foreign firms approach or surpass this level of resolution, current restrictions on U.S. commercial imagery data providers put the United States at a competitive disadvantage and may harm an industrial base that is important to national security.

Perhaps DigitalGlobe’s fleet can do even better than .25 metre resolution. If it can, it is entirely reasonable to assume it would be shared with the US’s partners in the “Five Eyes” intelligence-sharing alliance, one of which is Australia. And Australia operates a Defence Imagery and Geospatial Organisation (DIGO) that boasts its capabilities include “the process of examining an image collected from satellites or aircraft to identify features, describe activity and interpret what is occurring at a given place on the Earth’s surface.”

AMSA has cited DIGO as a source.

For what it is worth, it is known that the US government rents satellites. In 2013 it even leased a Chinese satellite, according to US News.

It’s therefore entirely plausible that DIGO and its ilk around the world regularly receive 0.25 metre or better resolution images from a DigitalGlobe or other commercial satellite and that its find of the “credible” candidate for MH370 debris is the result of business as usual, not special efforts.

It is conceivable that US authorities spotted the candidate debris using classified, never-for-public-eyes sources and then made it known where those searching for MH370 should look. It’s also a little bit plausible, because while DigitalGlobe has created a crowdsourced image database to help the search for MH370, it appears that effort is not the source of yesterday’s find.

If the US went to such lengths to conceal its capabilities, that’s a matter for wider debate.

Posted by moneycome88 > 2014-03-22 12:45 | Report Abuse

But speculation something secret has been pressed into service is just that. It’s also worth considering the track record of the media outlet offering this analysis, as it has twice of late jumped to alarmist conclusions about intelligence matters. Fairfax media, the source of the notion that MH370 was found by spooksats this week, followed Crikey by reporting in July last year that a subsidiary of Telstra, Australia’s dominant telco, had agreed to US surveillance of voice traffic on a submarine cable. The “secret document” Crikey uncovered was actually a pro-forma document any submarine cable operator landing in the US signs. Those documents all authorise surveillance, so the notion Telstra alone had thrown open its digital doors was dubious.

In November 2013, another report suggested Telstra’s purchase of deep packet inspection products represented a surveillance effort. As we pointed out at the time, it would be of more interest if a major telco did not operate deep-packet inspection kit as the absence of such tools would indicate lax management of mission-critical networks.

The Reg, and your correspondent, make mistakes. But mistakes like the ones recorded here are particularly unhelpful if they heighten public paranoia.

Happily, the source of the spooksat speculation has calmed down and reported on the existence of DigitalGlobe and even extracted a confirmation it is the source of the images that are sparking so much hope for information about MH370.

If only that story had come before the spooky speculation.

I have just watch the video above. In the video, I found another coincidence.

Anwar mentioned that he knows the country have bought a sophisticated radar system back during the time he was the finance minister. The radar system is able to track any unauthorized plane flying across South China Sea to the Indian ocean.

This is what he said later in the speech. "Was the radar system turned off?". This is key.

Did he knows the radar system will be off? Did he passed this information to Zaharie the captain of MH370? Which is why Zaharie knows the radar system will be off, that's why Zaharie choose to pass through 4 provinces of Malaysia going to Andaman Island, instead of choosing a shorter path cutting through Thailand?

BECAUSE the captain knows he won't be detected as the radar already off!!!! Otherwise, cutting through Thailand it will be shot down immediately!!!

Malaysia Airlines: 'This is not a normal investigation'
Malaysia's vanishing airplane catastrophe exposes the country's political and social fault lines.

The crisis over Malaysia's missing Flight MH370 would surely test any government. But Malaysia's handling of the search, investigation and communication with the outside world has thrown it into an uncomfortable spotlight and caught it severely off guard.

The catastrophe is exposing the deep fault lines characterising the country's political economy. Since independence from the British in 1957, Malaysia's ruling elite have built and reinforced a political system that has institutionalised their cultural and economic dominance.


Inconsistency

The system is so entrenched, it shapes and permeates all layers of Malaysian society. Now we're seeing it play out in how the administration is managing and communicating the investigation to the rest of the world.

A catalogue of backtracking is defining the investigation thus far, frustrating the families of those on board and provoking a backlash of anti-government feeling.

We've seen Malaysian officials contradict each other over vital early details about MH370's satellite communications systems. Acting Transport Minister Hishamuddin Hussein and Malaysian Airlines CEO, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, have disagreed over whether the system was switched off before or after the flight's co-pilot uttered the now infamous signoff: "Alright goodnight" to ground control on the morning of March 8 when the plane disappeared.

Consequently, the pilot and co-pilot, Zaharie Shah and Fariq Ab Hamid, became the first suspects, in a possible plot to sabotage or hijack the Boeing 777, which led to bewilderment and distress amongst the families.

Inconsistencies also stood out in the police investigation. At one point, Hishamuddin said police officers had visited the homes of the pilots as early as March 9, the day after the aircraft vanished. But police chief Khalid Abu Bakar then confused the issue by saying officers had in fact not gone to the pilots' homes.

Things were muddled from the start. The hunt for the ill-fated jet began on March 8 in the South China Sea, was abandoned and diverted to the Andaman Sea and Indian Ocean.

Malaysians are concerned about the state of readiness of their military, after radar tracked an unidentified object moving west over peninsular Malaysia on March 8 and the air force took no further action to ascertain what that object was.

Sources close to the government have said, off-the-record since they are not authorised to talk to the media, that they are unsure how to manage the message.

Sure, it is a trial that would test any government, agency or communications team. With a daunting search involving more than 20 countries and stretching across some 6.2 million square miles, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Yet, there are some fundamentals here that Malaysian government agencies aren't following. What they should be doing is: Verify the incoming information; unify the message; decide which agency takes control of its dissemination and keep the families informed at all times.

The baffling stream of information must be heart-breaking for the relatives of the 227 passengers and crew. Of those, 154 are Chinese, a ratio which has prompted the mainland to rally behind their cause. Families of the victims have been filmed shouting at Malaysian officials as their grievance builds over the lack of information and disorienting turn of events.

China's Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Hong Lei, has even urged Malaysia to provide, "comprehensive and correct information".


Malaysian government under microscope

Let's put it into context.

The global glare of publicity is landing on an administration deeply uncomfortable with any level of scrutiny.

Malaysia's ruling party keeps tight control of all aspects of domestic media - it is either state-sponsored, choked by authorities, or opposition-led. Media outlets or editors that dare question the administration perish by the wayside, or are ordered back in line.

At election time, the New Straits Times newspaper, a mouthpiece for the ruling coalition will be awash with barely rewritten government press releases, eulogising about the "achievements" of those in power.

What has this to do with Flight MH370? This stranglehold on free expression has nurtured a government unused to being cross-examined in public and more accustomed to changing its mind and message at will.

Moreover, the lack of oxygen given to rational democratic debate within Malaysia has fostered a cosseted leadership that either goes on the attack or retreats to its ideological ivory tower when it feels imperiled.

To enforce its intolerance of dissent, the Malaysian government deploys powerful tools of control. Until September 2011, the Internal Security Act (ISA) was a catch-all deterrent to those who spoke out openly against the government.

It sanctioned detention without trial and swept many opposition members into solitary confinement. In its place, authorities have of late been commandeering the Sedition Act to silence critics with increasing vigour.

This insidiousness has come to haunt the Malaysian government in its current time of need. True, as Hishamuddin said, "This is not a normal investigation".

But his and his cohorts' mishandling of crisis communications has made the government look shifty instead of perhaps being just plain incompetent, adding rocket fuel to the plethora of theories on the plane's whereabouts.

Hishammuddin - himself - is political royalty: He's the current prime minister's cousin, the son of Malaysia's third prime minister and nephew of its second. With his blood ties, he could easily be Malaysia's next prime minister.

Ethnicity and connections are highly likely to determine one's fate in Malaysia. Lucrative affirmative action policies promote ethnic Malays over the more than 30 percent Chinese and Indian minorities. The situation translates into each Malaysian being born with a semi-pre-ordained destiny - boosted by state coffers - that will decide which university you choose, what jobs you get, how many children you have, or even whether you end up in the cabinet.

Meanwhile, the elite have enriched themselves through a cosy network of crony capitalism that venomously lashes out at those who threaten its existence. Malaysia ranks third, behind only Russia and Hong Kong, in The Economist's crony capitalism index 2014, a list of "countries where politically-connected businessmen are most likely to prosper".

It's a sad indictment for a country that was once celebrated as having as much economic potential as South Korea.

Seize control of the situation

Social media, Asia's rising economic clout and irreversible globalisation mean the insular behaviour of the Malaysian government is long past its sell by date.

A Malaysian love of communication has neatly translated into a wholehearted adoption of the internet and social media - and with great effect. More and more Malaysians are turning to alternative web sites like Malaysiakini, The Malaysia Insider and Free Malaysia Today to source their news.

Indeed, the opposition's popularity partly rests on the delivery of its message through Facebook, SMS and whatsapp. Last year, the opposition's frontline social media campaign helped it wrestle away the government's crucial two thirds parliamentary majority, needed to change the constitution.

It's time the ruling coalition acknowledged that its supremacy - which has benefitted the few at the cost of many - needs a serious overhaul.

As a communications professional, my message to the government would be: Yes, this is not a normal investigation, but instead of playing victim to events, leverage the nexus of abnormality, tragedy and interest in the story to recreate a new Malaysia.

Panda dude. It seems that you're fast running out of things to criticise me. My English is consistently bad and horrific, aye? And how about yours? You can't even spell the word 'credibility' correctly

You're not even like the pot calling the kettle black. At least if you're like the pot it wouldn't have been so bad. You tried to bullshit us about living in England, but when you can't tell me about your English gf, whom you should have had at least one if you'd been living in England for years, then you call me a bully.

Ha ha. What wimpy, geeky, weedy logic that is. Just like you. Go on, dude. Just admit it. You're just plain, downright jealous, aren't you?

Where did Malaysia go wrong? Asalkan Bukan Umno activist Haris Ibrahim grills the ex-PM Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad, asking him if he has driven around Kuala Lumpur and saw the poor. You'll probably clap at Mahathir's reply though: http://bit.ly/1hLzYaN

Airliner crisis compounds Malaysian government’s woes

Malaysia's missing-plane crisis has exposed the shortcomings of a ruling regime already wrestling with a rapidly shrinking support base, fierce racial divisions and international criticism of its tough handling of political opponents.

The same government has ruled since Malaysia's birth in 1957, and political observers said its much-criticised response to the jet drama is symptomatic of years of institutional atrophy under an ethnic Malay elite known for cronyism.

Analysts said rancour over the still-unexplained disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 and its 239 people, two-thirds of whom were Chinese, could also complicate plans to draw closer to China – Malaysia's biggest trading partner and a growing source of tourist revenue.

"The general level of Malaysian political performance, competence and adequacy has plummeted," said Clive Kessler, a Malaysia politics researcher at the University of New South Wales, who cites a "long, slow, protracted crisis of governance" over the past decade.

Experts stress that any country would struggle to cope with the plane's baffling disappearance on March 8, and Malaysia denies mishandling it.

But allegations of incompetence and evasiveness have clearly unsettled the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) government.

BN is unused to being challenged by Malaysia's meek, state-dominated press and has basked in decades of admiration of Malaysia as an economically successful melting pot, despite longstanding criticism over policies that discriminate against non-Malay minorities.

But ashen-faced officials have been subjected to daily grillings by combative foreign media in daily briefings in sometimes tense scenes beamed live in Malaysia and around the world.

"This is not a good look for Malaysia. I do think that the Barisan government has done some serious damage to its international reputation," said Michael Barr, an Asian politics expert at Australia's Flinders University.

The affair also has trained attention on BN's bruising political tactics, particularly its treatment of opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.

Anwar, who accuses the government of hurling false criminal charges against him in a bid to halt the stunning recent successes of his opposition alliance, was convicted of sodomy and sentenced to five years in jail just hours before MH370 took off.

The verdict, denounced by rights groups and questioned by Washington, was dragged into the MH370 media glare after it was revealed that the flight's captain, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, was a member of Anwar's political party.

"With an international audience watching, this is showing that what (Malaysia's government) thinks is acceptable here, is not at all tolerable by international standards," said Bridget Welsh, a Malaysia politics analyst at Singapore Management University.

BN is routinely rapped by anti-graft groups for widespread corruption and cronyism – Defence and acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein, the government's face on MH370, is the cousin of Prime Minister Najib Razak.

Even China's opaque Communist Party leadership has criticised Malaysia's perceived lack of transparency, while Chinese relatives of passengers angrily allege a cover-up.

Pragmatic Beijing is unlikely to upset mutually beneficial trade links, but the plane drama will certainly cause economic worry in Malaysia, said Welsh.

Exports to China have become critical to maintaining the growth BN banks on for support.

Bilateral trade has soared – up 11.8% in 2013 to US$106 billion (RM350.7 billion), according to Chinese figures. Najib and China's President Xi Jinping last year pledged still-cosier ties and targeted US$160 billion in trade by 2017.

The flow of Chinese tourists to Malaysia also has accelerated, hitting 1.8 million in 2013, up 15% year–on–year, behind only Singaporean and Indonesian visitors.

"This will require a significant effort to rebuild Malaysia's credibility abroad," Welsh said of the potential economic impact.

"Once you lose it, it takes time to win back."

The crisis comes at a bad time for the mild-mannered Najib, who launched a reform drive three years ago in a failed bid to shore up voter support. That has been abandoned under pressure from conservatives in his ruling party, and Najib appears weakened.

Malaysian voters have deserted BN at an accelerating pace over corruption, rule of law concerns, and a sense of drift.

Anwar's opposition won more votes than BN in May 2013 elections but the ruling coalition retained parliament thanks to seat allocations that favour its rural Malay base.

In particular, Malaysia's sizable Chinese community – whose industriousness is a critical component of growth – increasingly chafe under a decades-old system of preferences for Malays.

Racial tensions also have flared in recent months over disputes between the Muslim majority and Christian minority.

Analysts said BN could turn things around by successfully appealing to national unity amid the crisis – especially if the plane is found.

Hishammuddin outlined that hope yesterday, saying the MH370 situation "cuts across race, cuts across religion and now it cuts across boundaries amongst Malaysians." – AFP, March 22, 2014.

ANWAR THE MASTERMIND OF MH370 DISSAPEARANCE????? You be the judge!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36Sved9zx1Y

I have just watch the video above. In the video, I found another coincidence.

Anwar mentioned that he knows the country have bought a sophisticated radar system back during the time he was the finance minister. The radar system is able to track any unauthorized plane flying across South China Sea to the Indian ocean.

This is what he said later in the speech. "Was the radar system turned off?". This is key.

Did he knows the radar system will be off? Did he passed this information to Zaharie the captain of MH370? Which is how Zaharie knows the radar system will be off, that's why Zaharie choose to pass through 4 provinces of Malaysia going to Andaman Island, instead of choosing a shorter path cutting through Thailand?

BECAUSE the captain knows he won't be detected as the radar already off!!!! Otherwise, cutting through Thailand it will be shot down immediately!!!

There's a Chinese saying, "tak ada hantu, orang tak akan mati". There's a big plot to bring down Malaysia as a nation.

Anwar is the mastermind, with the help of his hantu-hantu in the government, and his foreign allies. I hope his supporters let alone Malays, Chinese or Indians hear what i said.

Panda dude. You called me Shit Man, constantly accused me of having multiple accounts, rubbished all my posts, attacked my honest, friendly anecdotes about life in England without any provocation from my side, then now you're calling me a bully. You know, your behaviour is like that of a spoilt little brat. So now we know.
