TIDAK APA Attitude by Our Malaysian Military When an UNIDENTIFIED AIRCRAFT Flies over the Country ?? Is That What Happen? Read here in malaysiakini m.malaysiakini/news/257320 When any unidentified aircraft flies over the country, the natural reaction is to scramble jets to intercept the possible threat, but this was NOT THE CASE IN MALAYSIA. In fact, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 flew westwards after making a turn back over the Gulf of Thailand, undetected by the military, across peninsula Malaysia and the country’s second largest city in Penang, according to a report by the New York Times. Not only did the team at the Malaysian Air Force base in Butterworth NOT notice or FAILED to report a blip on the defensive and air traffic radar, the crew at two radar installations at Kota Baru also FAILED TO REPORT the apparent INTRUSION. The New York Times report said the MALAYSIAN MILITARY ONLY BECAME AWARE OF CONTACT ON THEIR,OWN RADAR AFTER reviewing the recordings several hours after Flight MH370 vanished from civilian radar at 1.21am over the Gulf of Thailand on March 8. “Inside a Malaysian Air Force control room on the country’s west coast, where American-made F-18s and F-5 fighters stood at a high level of readiness for emergencies exactly like the one unfolding in the early morning of March 8, A FOUR-PERSON AIR DEFENCE RADAR,CREW DID NOTHING about the unauthorised flight,” the report said. THIS FAILURE was not only a BREACH IN AIR SPACE SECURITY WHICH WOULD MAKE MALAYSIA VULNERABLE TO ATTACKS, breach in air space security which would make Malaysia vulnerable to attacks, but it also meant the country lost a precious opportunity to intercept Flight MH370 which had then flown into the vast unknown. “If the aircraft ended up in the southern Indian Ocean, as some aviation experts now suggest, then floating debris could have subsequently drifted hundreds of kilometres, making it extremely hard to figure out where the cockpit voice and data recorders sank,” it said. Malaysia Air Force chief Rodzali Daud had ONLY ACKNOWLEDGED THE RADA DATA ON THE FIFTH DAY of a fruitless search for MH370 in the South China Sea. Reason for the long delay: the military needed time to verify whether the blip was in fact MH370.
