New Zealand family criticises Malaysian authorities over MH370 text message
The family of a New Zealand passenger on board Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has criticised the Malaysian authorities for the "incredibly insensitive" way it had handled the crisis.
Danica Weeks, whose husband Paul Weeks was a passenger on the flight, had been one of the family members who received a text message from Malaysia Airlines on Monday informing her of the fate of the flight, just before Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced that flight MH370 was feared to have ended in the southern Indian Ocean, said The Sydney Morning Herald (SMH), quoting an AAP report.
"The whole situation has been handled appallingly, incredibly insensitively," Paul's sister Sara Weeks, who heard the news from her mother, told Radio Live in New Zealand today.
"Everyone is angry about it.
"The Malaysian government, the airline, it’s just all been incredibly poor.
"Who’s to say they couldn’t have located the plane the day that it happened."
Sara said she was called at 3.30am by her mother, who was worried she might hear the news of her brother’s death from the media.
Following criticism by Chinese and international media, Malaysia Airlines defended its move to send out the text message to families of passengers and crew.
MAS chairman Tan Sri Mohd Nor Mohd Yusof and chief executive officer Ahmad Jauhari Yahaya both stressed that the airline had always put the needs of the families of passengers and crew members of the MH370 first since the plane went missing on March 8.
"Let me be very clear on the events of yesterday (Monday) evening. Our sole and only motivation last night (Monday night) was to ensure that in the incredibly short amount of time available to us, the families heard the tragic news before the world did," Ahmad Jauhari said at a press conference.
"Wherever humanely possible, we did so in person with the families or by telephone, using SMS only as an additional means of ensuring fully that the nearly 1,000 family members heard the news from us and not from the media."
Sara said a lot of information seemed to have been withheld and took a long time for it to be released, the AAP reported.
Najib announced on Monday night that the plane carrying 239 passengers and crew, which disappeared almost three weeks ago, had ended its flight in the southern Indian Ocean thousands of kilometres west of Perth.
Paul, a 39-year-old mechanical engineer based in Perth, was travelling to Mongolia for his first shift in a fly-in-fly-out job.
Sara said in a radio interview that it had been a nightmare not knowing what happened to Paul, and the family still didn’t have any closure as so much was still unexplained.
"The not knowing is awful and, to be honest, we still don’t know. They haven’t given us any tangible evidence on how they know that plane is there," she told More FM in New Zealand.
(nota FC sendiri : nampak tol laaaa hai .. omputih pun duduk bawah tempurung.. dier dok p pom pang kat More FM tu boleh.. nak carik detail ngapa negara kita kata ended kat lautan hindi pun tak tau.. hampes hampagas )
"To just... say everyone’s dead, that’s where the plane is, without offering up any sort of evidence, it has been really difficult."
The SMH report said Malaysia Airlines will fly Sara to Perth to be with her sister-in-law Danica and Danica's two sons Lincoln, 3, and Jack, 11 months.
Paul had left his wedding ring and watch at home before setting off, Danica said.
Danica and Paul, who was one of two New Zealanders on the plane, had moved to Perth from Christchurch after the earthquake of 2011. – March 27, 2014.
Part of the social media debate also centred on how Chinese anger against Malaysia could be pushing the Southeast Asian ally closer towards the United States.
Microbloggers cited a Twitter message posted by the US embassy in Kuala Lumpur, saying: “Not giving up. We're with you Malaysia."
“Even if the US was only pretending to be friends [with Malaysia], I think it might be working,” one microblogger wrote.
The difficult search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 began after it disappeared from civilian aviation radars on March 8. Tensions have flared between aggrieved Chinese families staying in Beijing and Malaysian authorities since.
Mainland travel agencies have reported a sharp drop - some as much as 50 per cent - in the number of Chinese visitors to Malaysia compared to the same period last year.

Penyidik Malaysia Yakin Pilot MH370 Sengaja Terbang ke Samudera Hindia
Kapten Zaharie Ahmad Shah (The Star)
Kuala Lumpur - Sorotan terhadap pilot pesawat Malaysia Airlines (MAS) MH370, Kapten Zaharie Ahmad Shah semakin tajam. Hasil penyelidikan sementara meyakini bahwa Kapten Zaharie sengaja membawa MH370 berubah jalur dan terbang menyimpang hingga ke Samudera Hindia.
Informasi tersebut disampaikan oleh seorang pejabat tinggi pada Kepolisian Malaysia yang terlibat dalam penyelidikan hilangnya MH370. Namun si pejabat tinggi ini enggan menyebut namanya, dengan alasan dia sebenarnya tidak berwenang mengungkapkan hal ini kepada publik.
Sumber yang ada di Kuala Lumpur ini berbicara kepada media Amerika Serikat (AS), USA Today dan dilansir nydailynews.com, Kamis (27/3/2014). Menurut sumber ini, kepolisian Malaysia kini dalam posisi meyakini Kapten Zaharie (53) dengan sengaja mengarahkan pesawat ke Samudera Hindia setelah lepas landas pada 8 Maret lalu.
Kepolisian, menurut sumber ini, tidak menemukan bukti adanya kegagalan mesin atau pembajakan yang dilakukan oleh penumpang dalam MH370 yang membawa total 239 orang tersebut.
Sejauh ini, Kepolisian Malaysia telah menginterogasi lebih dari 100 orang terkait penyelidikan hilangnya MH370. Menurut sumber ini, kini kepolisian Malaysia tengah berusaha menggali informasi lebih dalam dari keluarga dan kerabat Kapten Zaharie, terutama terkait perilaku Kapten Zaharie menjelang penerbangan pada 8 Maret saat itu.
Meski tidak menemukan kaitan antara Kapten Zaharie dengan kelompok terorisme manapun, kepolisian tetap mencurigai Kapten Zaharie.
Sumber ini menambahkan, Kapten Zaharie diyakini merupakan satu-satunya orang di dalam MH370 yang memiliki kemampuan dan pengalaman mumpuni untuk mengendalikan pesawat tersebut. Kepolisian Malaysia, lanjut sumber ini, tidak meyakini bahwa sang kopilot Fariq Abdul Hamid (27) memiliki kemampuan tersebut

Saya yakin, pasti jutaan orang percaya bahawa gambar dibawah ini adalah rakaman semasa operasi mencari pesawat MH370 (Ops SAR) di lautan hindi kan?
Baiklah, disebabkan saya terjumpa akan pautan ini, lebih baik saya kongsikan daripada ramai lagi yang tertipu dengan propaganda alam maya ini. Sambung baca dibawah...
Here's a ship in a heavy storm as seen from the deck, going through giant waves. As seen from this screenshot, it was claimed to be a footage of Indian Ocean.
The video first appeared on a Facebook Page named 'Salha Zain'. Very rapidly, the video was posted and reposted across the Internet. Post by Salha Zain.
However, the video was taken by Ivan Zakryzhevskiy on Jan 19, 2013 in an operation during Hurricane
According to the YouTube uploader, the video 'was taken in Atlantic, West Coast of Portugal, about off 60-80 miles'
The ship seen in this video is the liquid pressurized gas tanker 'Venere' near a hurricane, on January 19, 2013. Watch the original video:

another loophole..
big potential/security/company/goverment akan receive 'survey' calls. caller akan bagi tau diorg from company x (company besar). soklan yg akan ditanya. eg:
network sys yg digunakan (router, server, etc.)
no of pc connected
software/version installed
os/version installed
no of users
etc..
tindakan yg perlu diambil
please do not entertain that call
kalau bosan, nak entertain gak (sbb awek yg call), do not give right answer.
check you called id (caller prefer calling to your fixed line)
suh caller hantar email on that survey (usually caller x kan hantar, kalau caller hantar, time nie korang bleh hantar 'hadiah', atau register email tu kat multiple porn website - that website will automatically spam them everyday)
reason
if caller really from x company (n distributor), semua rekod client dah ada. x perlu buat survey.
company x (n distributor), menafikan yg diorg tengah buat survey (sbb diorg dah ada rekod client).
by knowing these information, your network r easier to hack.
