Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370:
Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim accuses
government of concealing information
In an interview with The Telegraph, he said that
he had personally
authorised the installation of “one of the most sophisticated radar”
systems in the world, based near the South China Sea and covering
Malaysia’s mainland and east and west coastlines, when he was the
country’s finance minister in 1994.
It was “not only unacceptable but
not possible, not feasible” that the
plane had not been sighted by the Marconi radar system immediately after
it changed course. The radar, he said, would have instantly detected the
Boeing 777 as it travelled east to west across “at least four” Malaysian
provinces.
Mr Anwar said it was
“baffling” that the country’s air force had “remained
silent”, and claimed that it “
should take three minutes under SOP (standard
operating procedure)
for the air force planes to go. And there was no response.”
He added: “We don’t have the sophistication of the United States or Britain
but still we have the capacity to protect our borders.”
It was “clearly baffling”, he said, to suggest that radar operators had been
unable to observe the plane’s progress........
“Unfortunately the manner in which this was handled after the first few
days was clearly suspect,” he said. “One fact remains. Clearly
information
critical to our understanding is deemed
missing.
“I believe the government knows more than us. They have the authority
to instruct the air force … or Malaysia Airlines. They are privy to most of
these missing bits of information critical to our understanding of this
mysterious disappearance of MH370.”
Mr Anwar indicated that it was a possibility that officials on the ground
were complicit in what happened on the plane.
However, he later added that “the realm of possibilities is so vague,
I mean, anything can have happened”, adding: “
Whether they (the
authorities) are complicit in a terrorist act, I’m not in a position to
comment.”...........
