The little napoleons in Khazanah love COLLABORATION/CCF so are the babies!

It took MAS 10 hours to hold a press conference to announce that MH 370 was missing. MAS could have easily ascertained the status of MH 370 when it did not arrive in Beijing at 6:30 am 8-3-2014 as scheduled. Further, MH 730 has fuel to fly up to about 8:30 am. By 9:00 am, if not earlier, MAS should have been able to make a public announcement that MH 370 was missing but MAS chose to drag its feet until 12 noon. Continue reading

Any person with modicum of intelligence could get the numbers over night if one just to embark on slashing of the fares with no other plans in hand.
