JuliusWong 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2014 Read this online.......Kinda cruel, but we need to prepare ourselves for the inevitable. "We have to accept the reality which is painful to acknowledge. The plane is gone without a trace and we should not hope for the best although this is a cruel statement. The incident need to be checked and issue tackle with immediate effects. With a bad reputation tainted after announcing losses that runs into billion ringgit, MAS is in dire straits on how to explained this and the airline will be in deeper pocket now with claims from this 239 passengers family members. The Government need to make a stands on this issue as it is concerning national issue and integrity. No amount of bailouts should be confers on the national airline."
