This a hearsay story.
When SilkAir Flight 185 crashed into the Musi River near Palembang Indonesia in December 1997, our local paper broke the story to the public, apparently after many international agencies had already caught and published the news.
But according to the story told, a Cabinet Minister in the crisis meeting following the revelation, banged his fist on the table and lambasted the reporter for announcing it to the public without prior consultation with his ministry.
Anyone heard the tale?
