As to why the Chief of the Indonesian Police Force (POLRI) made claims that he knew what actually happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, is not an issue but what prompted him to is - more than 6 months after the plane disappeared.
Why only now, if he really knows what had happened to the Boeing 777-200.
Even the report by
Kompas.com - naming the present Malaysia's Inspector-General of Police (IGP) as Tun Mohammed Hanif Omar - undermines their credibility. Khalid Abu Bakar must be laughing at it!
Jakarta - Indonesian media has reported the claimed made by the Chief of the Indonesian Police Force regarding what actually happened to Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which disappeared with 239 people on March 2014.
As reported by Kompas.com, Police Chief General Sutarman said that he knows what had actually happened to the flight and had spoken to the Head of the Malaysian Police.
“I spoke to the Malaysian Poilce Chief Tun Mohammed Hanif Omar, I actually know what had actually happened with MH370,” said Sutarman in the presence of party representing Lion Air, and several high-ranking police officers in Jakarta as quoted by Kompas.com (12 Sep 2014).
Currently, the plane whereabout is still a mystery to the public. Despite his statement, General Sutarman was reluctant to tell reporters on what are the things that he knows surrounding the tragic disappearance of the Boeing 777 plane that was enroute from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
However, is there anything Khalid knows and hides it from us?
It is not a 'main-main thing' for the Indonesian police boss to simply created and boasted his stories on MH370. I think he was serious as it will rake off his credibility if he lied.
Malaysian police denied media reports in Indonesia that the police were aware of the mysterious disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370, on March 8. Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar told Bernama that he was shocked by such media reports since Malaysian police did not have any information about the missing flight MH370.
"I would like to know which media and when such a report was published! I will ask my counterpart in Kapolri (Police Chief of Indonesia Jeneral Sutarman) whether he had said anything about the issue.
"I was not informed of any such report," he said.
Yesterday, an Indonesian online portal (Tempo.co) quoted Sutarman as saying that Kapolri and the Malaysian police knew the reason for the disappearance of MH370 but would not elaborate further.
In a latest development, the search and rescue (SAR) team has exposed 58 solid objects on the Indian Ocean seabed, said Transport Ministry Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.
In a report by an online news portal, the Liow was quoted saying that the Joint Agency Coordination Centre is in the midst of recovering the objects.
The 58 object, he said,
could possibly be wreckage from the ill-fated jetliner.
The ministry will verify the objects in its effort to draw a sound conclusion, said Liow during a press conference after officiating the MCA Selangor state convention at Wisma MCA here today.
Malaysia’s Petronas will deploy 'Go Phoenix' vessel – normally used for oil exploration -- for the search mission at the southern tip of the Indian Ocean floor.
The asset is expected to arrive in Perth, Australia on Sept 21. 'Go Phoenix' will be accompanied by Australia’s Furgo Discovery ship to search the floor using towed vehicles, equipped with wide-sonar synthetic aperture sonar, multi-beam echo sounders, video cameras, all deployed to locate this aircraft.
