forgive me: but what is the sudden interest???
they didn't seem to have the same level of interest in MH370 .... I am very very aware of the need of proper rest within 24 hours in Muslim religion but this latest ''protest'' from Malaysia is ''lame''((MOO))
MAL is self serving and fake (MOO)
I am not Malaysian, but I am afraid I find this post both disrespectful and insulting.
Firstly, MAL and the Malaysian authorities are not one and the same thing.
Secondly, people keep speaking about MH370 as if they think Malaysia knows where it is really and is just keeping it a secret to be spiteful. I feel that is illogical. Everyone including the Malaysians spent a great deal of time and effort trying to find that 'plane.
The protest is not lame . There are 44 Malaysian nationals lying decomposing in fields somewhere in Ukraine and the 'plane was on its way to Malaysia - why on earth wouldn't their government state that they were concerned about the total failure to treat all the passengers with respect and expedite the recovery exercise? Surely it would be remiss of them not to do so.
Finally, to bring religion into it seems pretty out of order in my view - they were not just speaking about the Malaysian passengers (not all of whom were necessarily Muslim anyway) and I very much doubt that any of the other nationalities would prefer to have their loved ones returned to them after rotting in a field for several days, rather than respectfully rescued and put in cold storage in line with good post mortem practice. :moo:

Malaysia owns MAL

I am well aware of that - that does not mean they are one and the same thing.
The quote I was responding to started with information about what the Malaysian Authorities had said in a statement and finished by stating that MAL were self-serving. It read as if The Malaysian government and MAL were being rolled into one and the statement from the government was self-serving. I didn't think that was fair.
I think Abbott is the first one. Obama had some strong words today too. I wouldn't be surprised if David Cameron has strong words soon as well as Angela Merkel and even Shinzo Abe might come out with words.
Now that Japan has changed it's military rules and can go after other countries that pose a threat this could be the first test of that power through the bully pulpit. JMO
BTW, here's an article on Japan's recent change in foreign policy; http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/02/world/asia/japan-moves-to-permit-greater-use-of-its-military.html
It is with great regret that KLM has learnt about the accident with flight MH17, codeshare KL4103, of Malaysia Airlines from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.
And it concerns me that Abbott was the first one. Admittedly, I'm a numbnut when it comes to understanding political machinations but it is not typical of Australia to come out with such accusatory words before the world's big players. That makes me curious to say the least. I certainly hope it doesn't get to a point that Japan feels it needs to be involved.
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) - A pro-Russia rebel leader says no black boxes have been found in the scattered wreckage of the Malaysia Airlines plane that was shot down over eastern Ukraine, conflicting with a statement made by an aide to a rebel military leader.
Separatist leader Aleksandr Borodai says "no black boxes have been found ... We hope that experts will track them down and create a picture of what has happened."
Earlier Friday, an aide to rebel military leader Igor Girkin, a Russian better known by his assumed name Strelkov, said authorities had recovered eight out of 12 recording devices
Well, what a HUGE surprise. The black boxes have "gone missing" according to some rebel leader guy who is actually a resident of Russia.
Just heard this on BBC News 24.
Wow! I'm underwhelmed with surprise.
I' m guessing you are Aussie....and truthfully I respect the profile that Australians have worldwide. This is not the time for ANY world leader to posturing politically but rather a humanitarian approach would better serve the victims of this tragedy. ((JMHO)) love Australians by the way
comes down to the same thing wouldn't you agreeI am well aware of that - that does not mean they are one and the same thing.

Yep. I feel that us Aussies are sooooooo lucky to live here. Just don't need our PM shooting of his mouth....
This should never be posted. Only the family members should be privy to this.
comes down to the same thing wouldn't you agree
we have totally dissed the MH 370
by emphasizing the need to honor the MH17
