Tomorrow, Nazri will visit China's Ambassador to Malaysia, Dr Huang Huikang, as a mark of respect over the fate of the Chinese passengers involved in the MH370 incident.

Last year, tourists from China made up the third largest group after Singapore and Indonesia, with a record 1.6 million people.

In conjunction with the 2014 Visit Malaysia Year, the government targeted 28 million tourists to visit Malaysia.

Its just not the Tourism Ministry..

The whole of Malaysia has taken a giant hit right from Finance to Defence..

MH370 has demonstrated to the world that we neither have the capability nor credibility...

This is going to affect Malaysia for a very very long time and that too more damage may yet come if details of the black box reveal even more damaging information.....

See that MAS...how much damage you have done to the tourism industry of Malaysia.

The income and the reputation of the nation.

It will all be different if someone Bow and Apologise to show the sensitiveness, the humanity of the 239 missing and the seriousness & concern for the next-of-kin.

A reverse bow was done...I would say is too late now...sigh.

Aku merasa agak hairan juga tentang mengapa pihak kerajaan Barisan Nasional semacam ‘takut dan bimbang’ memberikan taklimat kepada pihak pembangkang sedangkan taklimat yang serupa telah pun disampaikan kepada penyokong kerajaan. Dan pihak kerajaan sentiasa melaungkan ke seluruh dunia mengatakan bahawa tidak ada apa-apa yang perlu disrorokkan mengenai kehilangan pesawat MH 370. Semuanya telus belaka. Dan sekiranya begitu keadaannya mengapakah ternampak semacam ‘takut dan bimbang’ untuk mengadakan taklimat berkenaan.

Malaysia's reputation has already received an undeserved "bruising" at an international level.

I personally believe that Malaysia has done the best that it can do under the circumstances. (It is sad to see that instead of being defended by it's own citizens, Malaysia is being defended by it's international partners.)

MAS is the national carrier and before this unfortunate and tragic flight, there have never been any questions about the flight safety record of MAS.

MAS has been around for a very long time and has provided employment to alot of people as well as opened up employment opportunities at a host of other supporting industries. I'm very sure that alot of us know or have relatives and friends who are still employed by MAS or who were employed by MAS at one time or another.

Don't the current employees of MAS deserve some support from their fellow Malaysians?

Whatever happened to national pride?

Dan pihak pembangkang pula dituduh dengan berbagai tuduhan yang aku kira tidak wajar. Kononnya ada dikalangan pihak pembangkang yang seolah-olah mengkhianati negara. Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim mengatakan bahawa perbuatan sedemikian sebagai perbuatan tidak bermoral. Selanjutnya beliau mengatakan, "Dari segi moral ia sudah pasti tidak bermoral. Di mana bumi dipijak di situ langit dijunjung, Kalau sekiranya tempat kita makan, (dan) berak di tempat itu, (dan) kita mengotor tempat tersebut, itu perbuatan tak bermoral”.

Tetapi soalanya pihak kerjaaan seolah tidak mahu diajak berbincang mengenai kehilangan pesawat MH 370 ini. Sehingga kini belum ada lagi jawapan dari pihak kerajaan sama ada bersetuju atau tidak diadakan taklimat untuk pihak pembangkang. Hal sebegini juga dianggap pelik oleh negara luar dimana seolah-olah pihak pembangkang merupakan ‘orang luar’ dalam pentadbiran sebuah negara. Sepatutnya pihak kerajaan menganggap pembangkang sebagai ‘part and parcel’ sebuah pemerintahan kerajaan Malaysia yang sama-sama bergerak ke arah untuk memajukan sebuah negara. Ini seolah-olah tidak berlaku di Malaysia.

Sudah berapa kali ‘dipohon’ kepada pihak tertentu agar diadakan taklimat untuk pihak pembangkang. Belum ada jawapan tegas lagi. Dan kesan ekoran dari keengganan kerajaan untuk mengadakan taklimat ini tentulah mencalarkan imej negara. Seolah-olah pihak kerajaan begitu takut untuk berhadapan dengan pihak pembangkang. Atau pun seolah-olah pihak kerajaan BN tidak ikhlas dalam usaha untuk menangai kemelut MH 370 ini bersama-sama dengan pihak pembangkang.

The government, particularly the minister responsible for this affair, Hishammuddin Hussein, appears to be avoiding us and our questions….We wanted this closed-door briefing to ensure a meaningful and thorough dialogue takes place, and so that we can raise our questions to the minister…..This wasn’t supposed to be about the information already out there in the media, but the questions we raised in the Dewan that still remain unanswered.”

Pihak kerajaan sentiasa menegaskan bahawa mereka tidak pernah menyembunyikan sesuatu fakta yang berkaitan dengan pesawat MH 370 ini. Pendek kata semuanya telus. Tetapi YB Mahfuz Omar tidak berpuas hati dengan penegasan demikian. “If they are not hiding anything, then why the problem in briefing Pakatan MPs? If they can arrange a briefing for BN MPs, then they should be able to do the same for Pakatan,” kata Mahfuz. Sememangnya DS Hishamuddin Tun Hussein telah memberikan taklimat khas kepada penyokong kerajaan pada 18 Mac yang lalu. Lojiknya sekiranya taklimat sedemikian boleh diberikan kepada penyokong kerajaan, apakah taklimat yang serupa tidak boleh diadakan untuk pihak pembangkang?

Tindakan sebegini pastinya ditertawakan dan boleh membayangkan yang kerajaan BN merasakan bahawa tanggungjawab terhadap negara ini hanya diserahkan kepada Barisan Nasional sahaja. Membayangkan juga bahawa pihak pembangkang ( Pakatan Rakyat) adalah merupakan ‘orang luar’. Apakah begitu tanggapan mereka? Tidak salah sekiranya YB Mahfuz Omar mengemukakan persoalan, “That’s why I want to ask the government: why are you avoiding the opposition?”

Tentulah tidak adil rasanya menuduh pihak pembangkang sebagai ‘tidak bermoral’ apabila ada isu-isu yang dibangkitkan dianggap oleh pihak kerajaan BN sebagai ‘tidak bermoral’. Tidak ada langsung isu yang dibangkitkan memberikan bayangan yang pihak pembangkang dengan sengaja memburuk-burukkan imej kerajaan, sedangkan sekiranya diteliti dengan sehalus-halusnya seolah-olah pihak kerajaan sendiri cuba memalukan kerajaan dengan jawapan-jawapan yang kadang-kadang ‘flip-flop’ dan menggambarkan bahawa kerajaan Malaysia kurang bersedia dalam menyampaikan sesuatu taklimat.

Pihak tertentu dalam kerajaan juga seharusnya berpendirian bahawa sebarang teguran dan kritikan terhadap kerajaan tidak pula bermakna bahawa tindakan sedemikian sebagai tindakan khianat dan memalukan negara. Sebenarnya itulah amalan demokrasi dalam erti kata yang sebenarnya.

美國有線新聞網絡報道，失蹤的馬航MH370客機正機長扎哈列（Zaharie Ahmed Shah），是最後一個人與空中交通管制員通話，說出「晚安MH370」的人。消息人士稱，他當時的聲音沒有異常，也沒有任何受壓跡象。

另有參與調查人士透露，警方曾將通話錄音，播給5名馬航機師聽，他們均認識失蹤客機的正、副機師，但就沒有發現當中有第三者的聲音。

Number One: Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak. Two words describe the MH370 “investigations”: Mismanaged. Mishandled. (MM).

MH370 may have been an unprecedented incident but the crisis management team was shambolic, with several people issuing contradictory official statements. Our confidence and trust has been shaken to the core despite all the big talk and the hundreds of billions of ringgits spent on military hardware and sophisticated equipment. We may have the best machinery that money can buy, but are monkeys operating them?

Number Five: The Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) director-general Azharuddin Abdul Rahman. Azharuddin contradicted the statements of the home ministry and the inspector-general of polcie (IGP). More worrying than this is the lack of communication between the military and civil aviation authorities.

The MH370 investigation has lacked transparency and is mired in intrigue. This incident has reminded us of the question, by the opposition MP Nurul Izzah Anwar in June 2012, about the roles of the DCA and the Transport Ministry in the award of the contract for the supply of the RM128.4 million air traffic control system to a minster’s family through “closed tender”.
