The Malaysian Government has absolutely no interest in finding MH370 – ten years after it disappeared with 239 on board on March 8, 2014.
Numerous presentations and updates have been provided to the Malaysian Government by the UK search company Ocean Infinity and spokespersons of the relatives of those lost on a “no find no fee basis” based on the breakthrough WSPRnet work of UK aerospace engineer Richard Godfrey.
However, the Malaysian Government continues to say there is no new evidence to support a search.
It is incomprehensible given a “No Find No Fee” offer that Malaysia will not agree to a contract unless they do not want to find the aircraft.
At stake of course is that finding the resting place of the Boeing 777 will also open the Malaysian Government to compensation claims as it is almost certain that the perpetrator of this tragedy is Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah.
In 2018 AirlineRatings.com published findings by Paul Toohey of New Corp on a dark side to the Malaysian Airlines captain. You can read the full story here.
The News Corp investigation also revealed that a psychologist believed that Zaharie, the pilot-in-command when MH370 flew to its doom, “exhibited self-destructive and obsessive online behaviours that should have raised a red flag with Malaysia Airlines”.
Malaysia’s final report into the crash of MH370 released in July 2018, made no mention of Zaharie’s obsessive Facebook activity. A Royal Malaysian Police report does mention Zaharie visiting the FB pages but does not mention what he said or how many times he accessed the pages. They simply dismissed the matter as not important.
Toohey found that “across 2013, Zaharie posted 97 separate Facebook comments to the page of the Penang-based model Qi Min Lan, also known as Jasmin Min, who turned 18 that year. Zaharie did not know her personally, but was fixated.”
Another dimension of the captain was his political views. “Zaharie was not merely politically active, as some have said. He was virulent, at one point labelling then-prime minister Najib Razak a “moron” on his Facebook page.’’
In April 2013, in the lead-up to the elections, Zaharie posted 119 comments under his name, all reflecting his disgust with Najib’s government as he urged citizens to action said Mr Toohey.
Godfrey’s groundbreaking work has been peer-reviewed and refined and the location of MH370 has been identified within a 30km radius about 1560km west of Perth Western Australia.
The location is just outside the previous search area and is consistent with the Inmarsat Satellite data and the debris drift analysis of the University of Western Australia.
Malaysia has a responsibility to international aviation to find MH370 and if it does not, the International Civil Aviation Organisation, the UN governing body of aviation should sanction the airline and mount its own search.
