MALAYSIA - April 2014

MH 370 - A shocking Malaysian experience. Like 911, the plight of MH370 shocked Malaysians in many complex ways. The ongoing search has baffled the public and professionals alike. Was the flight path mechanical in nature or man made. Of course we have many other theories, ludicrous as some may sound, needs a sound rebuttal. Lets start with the first week of the flight's plight.The search in the south china sea and a Malaysian general in somewhat broken English say about a ping heard near ButterWorth-Penang. Well no one believed him, and search went on near s.china sea with picture from china's radar; further complicated the search. Only after a week with radar reading from other countries were put together by immarsat and of course from spy satellites;did search change to indian ocean. Malaysia was not prepared because we did not have the technology nor felt the need in investing in national security issues. Its not about submarines that cant float :). But it was sad that countries who had the technology to scientifically figure this out; were stuck in trust issues. It took time and we are there with Australia leading the direct search. Perhaps its our attitude, a traditionally friendly nation. We don't need hardware but software - people. Need basic sea controls/etc..if we can't handle the pirates in the straits of Melaka. wtf Lets talk about some theories;
