There is confusion along the Corridors of Power of our northern neighbours. While the Minister says there were four passengers on the doomed flight, an aviation officer insisted there were only two. Come on guys. This is no time to play masak masak. Lives have been lost by people who flew your national carrier and here you are issuing misleading statements. You buggers better resign and leave the reins to someone who is more capable. It appears the minister is only good at making rabble rousing chauvinistic speeches to arouse his clan.

Malaysia launches terror probe over vanished jet
Malaysia on Sunday launched a terror probe into the disappearance of a passenger jet carrying 239 people, investigating suspect passengers who boarded with stolen passports, as relatives begged for news of their loved ones.

After it emerged that two people boarded the missing flight with stolen European passports, Malaysia's transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein said
he was looking at four suspect passengers in all.
He declined to offer details, saying authorities were examining "the entire manifest", but confirmed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was dispatching personnel to Malaysia.
"At the same time our own intelligence has been activated, and of course, the counter-terrorism units... from all the relevant countries have been informed," Hishammuddin said, refusing also to rule out the possibility that the plane may have been hijacked.

A Malaysian civil aviation official said authorities still so far believe only two passengers had used stolen passports and were examining CCTV footage of them.
"There are only two passengers on record with false passports," department of civil aviation director general Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said.
