MH370: 'Harapan semakin tinggi' untuk rungkai misteri, kata PM Australia
SDYNEY: Perdana Menteri Australia, Tony Abbot telah menyuarakan harapan yang semakin tinggi untuk merungkai misteri pesawat Malaysia Airlines (MAS) MH370 dan 239 penumpang di dalamnya selepas beberapa serpihan yang tidak dikenal pasti dijumpai di kawasan pencarian.
"Ia masih terlalu awal untuk menjadi kepastian, tetapi jelas kita kita kini telah mempunyai beberapa petunjuk yang sahih dan terdapat harapan yang semakin tinggi,” kata Abbot.
Abbot berkata demikian selepas beberapa objek yang belum dikenal pasti ditemui di kawasan pencarian untuk pesawat tersebut, kira-kira 2,500 kilometer ke barat daya Perth.
Apabila ditanya mengenai butiran objek tersebut, Abbot berkata "beberapa objek kecil berada agak rapat di dalam zon pencarian Australia, termasuk, sebuah, palet kayu."
Komen berkenaan diberi tidak sampai beberapa jam pihak Berkuasa Keselamatan Maritim Australia (AMSA) membuat pengumuman pada Ahad bahawa "usaha akan terus dibuat untuk menentukan sama ada objek yang ditemui ada kaitan dengan MH370”.
Walaubagaimanapun, Abbot tidak mengkhususkan imej satelit Cina bertarikh 18 Mac, yang dikeluarkan pada Sabtu, menunjukkan sekeping serpihan besar yang terapung berdekatan dengan imej-imej satelit yang dikeluarkan sebelum ini.
Abbot turut berkata keyakinannya bertambah dengan peningkatan asset yang digerakkan untuk tujuan mencari pesawat itu.
"Jelas sekali, lebih banyak pesawat dan kapal laut yang kita ada, kita lebih yakin untuk membawa naik apa-apa objek yang ada di bawah sana.
“Dan jelas sebelum kita boleh mengkhususkan apa-apa kemungkinan, kita perlu membawa naik apa-apa objek-objek ini.
Pesawat MH370 terputus hubungan dengan Pusat Kawalan Udara Subang awal pada pagi 8 Mac lalu.
Sejumlah 239 penumpang dari pelbagai negara termasuk anak kapal berada di dalam penerbangan tersebut dan ia masih belum ditemui lagi.

Kapten Zaharie Terima Panggilan Daripada Wanita Misteri Sebelum Berlepas
PETALING JAYA: Kapten penerbangan MH370 yang hilang menerima dua panggilan daripada wanita misteri dua minit sebelum berlepas menggunakan nombor telefon mudah alih di bawah identiti palsu, lapor sebuah akhbar Inggeris.
Ia merupakan panggilan terakhir yang dibuat kepada atau daripada telefon mudah alih Kapten Zaharie Ahmad Shah sebelum Boeing 777 meninggalkan Kuala Lumpur pada 8 Mac, lapor The Mail, Ahad.
Penyiasat melihatnya sebagai satu potensi petunjuk yang penting kerana sesiapa sahaja yang membeli kad sim pra-bayar di Malaysia perlu mengisi borang dengan memberi nombor kad pengenalan atau nombor pasport.
Diperkenalkan sebagai langkah anti-keganasan selepas peristiwa 9/11, ini bagi memastikan setiap nombor adalah berdaftar dan boleh dijejaki.
Tetapi dalam kes ini polis hanya mengesan nombor tersebut diperolehi dari kedai yang menjual kad sim di Kuala Lumpur.
Mereka mendapati ia telah dibeli ‘baru-baru ini’ oleh seseorang yang menggunakan nama wanita, tetapi telah menggunakan identiti palsu.
Penemuan itu menimbulkan kebimbangan kemungkinan adanya kaitan antara Kapten Zaharie, 53, dan kumpulan pengganas yang anggotanya sering menggunakan kad sim yang tidak boleh dikesan.
Mereka yang lain yang telah bercakap dengan juruterbang itu melalui telefon beberapa jam sebelum penerbangan berlepas telah ditemuramah.
Dalam perkembangan berasingan, The Mail
pada Ahad difahamkan bahawa penyiasat kini bersedia untuk menyoal isteri Zaharie yang dikatakan telah berpisah dengan suaminya itu dengan lebih terperinci.
Pasangan ini mempunyai tiga orang anak, tetapi difahamkan masih tinggal sebumbung.
Pemanggil misteri muncul apabila penyiasat Malaysia meneliti rekod telefon Zaharie dan pembantu juruterbang, Fariq Abdul Hamid.
Penyiasat berminat untuk mengesan pemanggil dan menemu bual mereka, walaupun mereka menegaskan hakikat bahawa kad sim itu telah didaftarkan dengan kad identiti yang tidak wujud tetapi ia tidak semestinya menunjukkan ia mempunyai kaitan dengan jenayah atau keganasan. – The Straits Times / ANN
KUALA LUMPUR: Police have refuted claims by a foreign tabloid that Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah (pic) received a call from a phone number registered with a dubious identity just before he flew Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 on March 8.
Bukit Aman assistant chief inspector-general of police secretariat Asst Comm Datin Asmawati Ahmad said the foreign tabloid had no exclusive rights to the details of the investigations.
"The Inspector-General of Police has never issued any public statement that categorically place the MH370 investigation under an act of terrorism.
"Please be advised that the Royal Malaysia Police take no responsibility over the dissemination of such information, which originates from unnamed and unverified sources," she said, adding that the news in the tabloid was mere speculation.
ACP Asmawati was referring to a report by British tabloid The Mail that Captain Zaharie received a call from a phone number registered with a dubious identity just before before take-off on March 8.
The report claimed that investigators were taking a closer look at the two-minute call which was made using a prepaid SIM card registered under a woman's name - but with false identification. It also stated that police had traced the number to a shop selling prepaid SIM cards in Kuala Lumpur.
The report alleged that speculation that the plane might have been hijacked by terrorist emerged after Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar classified the case of the missing MH370 as an act of terrorism, which also included hijacking and sabotage.

What happened on March 8 still haunts personnel on duty

PETALING JAYA: A sense of responsibility for the missing MH370 has taken a toll on Air Traffic Controllers on duty the morning the plane disappeared on March 8.
There were 40 personnel on duty during the shift, including the Radar Controller, Flight Planner and Flight Data officers, who were directing the aircraft before handing over responsibility to their Vietnamese counterparts.
A senior Department of Civil Aviation officer toldThe Starsome of those on duty can’t help but dwell on what happened to the plane.
“They have come to talk to me and kept asking why, why why, this had happened,” said the officer. “Despite assuring them they had carried out their duties, some can’t let go of the incident.”
He said all emergency protocol was followed immediately after MH370 disappeared off the radar.
During such emergencies there are three phases which must be followed.
The initial Alert phased in this case required the air traffic controllers or ATCs to contact their counterparts in Vietnam.
Subsequently Changi (Singapore) is contacted to determine if they had MH370 on their radar or if they were in communication with the missing aircraft.
“This had to been done within three minutes of the emergency.”
In the subsequent Uncertainty phase, ATCs will contact all aircraft in the vicinity to determine if they were in communication with MH370 or had the plane on their radar or had visual sighting of it.
This must be done within 15 minutes and when no one could detect the plane the final Distress phase was activated.
Two search and rescue trained officers are on standby during every shift and they immediately opened the Aeronautical Rescue Coordination Centre or ARCC.
“The officers called the air force, which confirmed they had detected the plane on their military radar but it had diverted from its path.
“We tried communicating with MH370 again but it didn’t work.
“By the time it dropped off military radar, we had already begun planning where to search for the plane,” he said.
Two weeks on, the DCA officer, who is among those coordinating the search and rescue mission at the ARCC, said he is baffled by the incident.
“We are working hard to follow up on every lead we get and we’ve been grateful for all the help we’ve been getting from other countries,” he said.
However he expressed concern that time was running out.
“I am worried, the decisions we make involve people’s lives and so many countries and public sentiment,” he said.
Pallet, belts spotted in Indian Ocean hunt for MH370
Australian officials said today that a wooden cargo pallet along with belts or straps have been spotted in the remote Indian Ocean by one of the aircraft deployed in the hunt for a missing Malaysian jet.
The objects were seen by a civilian aircraft assisting in the search for Malaysia Airlines MH370 yesterday in what the Australian Maritime Safety Authority confirmed was the "first visual sighting in the search so far".
"Part of the description was a wooden pallet and a number of other items which were nondescript around it and some belts of some different colours around it as well, strapping belts of different lengths," AMSA aircraft operations coordinator Mike Barton said.
"We tried to refind that yesterday, one of the New Zealand aircraft, and unfortunately they didn't find it. That's the nature of it – you only have to be off by a few hundred metres in a fast-travelling aircraft," he told a press briefing.
Barton said today's search, which will involve four military and four civilian aircraft, would return to the area to try and zero in on the objects again.
Aviation experts had advised that wooden pallets were quite commonly used to pack goods in planes, Barton added, describing it as a "possible lead".
Such pallets were usually packed into another container loaded into the belly of the aircraft he said, adding however that they were also used in the shipping industry.
He cautioned that the nearby straps "could be anything" and "until we refind these items and have a good look at them it's hard to say whether they are associated with this or not."
A "methodical search" would also continue of a 59,000 square kilometre expanse of sea to try and locate large items captured by satellite imagery on March 16 and 18.
Barton said the operation had shifted away from an earlier emphasis on radar to focus on visual examination "of a more defined area based on the satellite imagery."
He said looking into the sun and through haze from a much lower altitude than a satellite was making things difficult for search crews.
Today's weather was not as good as the previous day's, with sea fog and low cloud hampering visibility early in the day, though Barton said it appeared to be clearing and he was hopeful of a "full search in with some good conditions."
But the major challenge was the site's remoteness.
"The aircraft are operating at extreme ranges... at 2,500km away they're operating at the limits of their endurance and only having a short period of one to two hours in the search area and back again," he said.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott spoke earlier today after AMSA spotted several unidentified objects in the search zone about 2,500km off Perth, saying that he was hopeful of discovering the fate of flight MH370 after a number of credible leads so far.
He also praised the international effort shown by many countries in their "humanitarian exercise" in search of the missing plane.

OMG. This morning, I woke up watching this CCTV interview with the LADY allegedly 'dragged' away from the PC venue in KLIA (Chinese mother of one of the Chinese passenger).
And the SHOCKING content of the interview reveals the following (interview link is at bottom) :-
1. Says the police protected her at the press conference; and that the journalists were hounding her.
2. Went to press conference to ask Malaysia's politicians if they had any news on her son.
3. Doesn't care about talk of a cover up. She is only focused on finding her son.
4. Came to KL, so when the rescuers locate him she will be the here to bring him back home.
5. Thanked Malaysia and Malaysians for taking care if her everyday, and doesn't believe those who say that the government doesn't care about the families of the passengers.
6. When I asked her what she would tell her son now, she broke down and said, Mum is waiting for you. Please come back soon.
7. Bowed down to the floor, to thank the search teams, and begged them to not give up looking for her boy, and all the passengers on MH370.
