I want to see the entire press conference and statement. They are only showing snippets. Does anyone know which website has the entire thing? TIA! |
There was no press conference - it was merely a brief statement. You can read it here: https://www.facebook.com/najibrazak/posts/10151954247230952?stream_ref=10 |
Woooh Nelly, calm your ignorant horses. You know that Malaysia doesn't actually make planes, right? Look. I know you need an angry excuse for your xenophobia, but you're really stretching here. This is unprecedented, and the only ones throwing hissyfits are ignorant xenophobies and media talking heads - not people with a lick of professional background. |
Thanks, yes, I see the press conference is yet to come. I also found the video of the statement on the UK's the telegraph website. |
I don't know why they are not shielding the family members from the press. What a spectacle. People on their knees screaming and crying, surrounded by journalists clicking cameras. What an uncivilized way to handle this situation. |
What? You have it completely backwards Families of the deceased have made it clear that they DON'T want to be shielded by the press. There was the mother deliberately storming the media room, because she wanted the press to see her pain. This isn't uncommon - in situations like this where things seem stalled and where people don't feel like they're getting answers, they CHOOSE to go in front of the cameras. Not because they want attention necessarily, but because cameras generally force people to be more accountable. |
I'm not the poster you were addressing, but it doesn't matter if Malaysia made the planes. The question is, do they properly maintain the planes. I don't know the answer to that, but it's a question worth asking. You could have the absolute best car on the market, but if you ignore maintenance, over time, you will have issues. Again, don't know if they neglected the planes. |
A lot of your safe airlines fly their planes to third world countries to do maintenance. You know no unions, no one willing to standup if maintnenance is short cut, cheaper, less "regulations" more business friendly etc. |
Interesting. How do you know this? I am genuinely curious to read any links you have, because I had no idea this was the case. Is Malaysia one of the countries these planes are taken to for maintenance? |
The families were told by text?! |
Yes. Can you believe it? But if we dare question the competence of the Malaysian government or Malaysian airlines we're racist and xenophobes. |
As a follow up and last option. They were told in person, or called on the phone, and the third/last way if they weren't able to be reached by the first two, was via text. |
Yes, you are a xenophobe if you're intentionally being dishonest and only reporting half truths, just to slander a country as incompetent. "[...] we informed the majority of the families in advance of the Prime Minister’s statement in person and by telephone. SMSs were used only as an additional means of communicating with the families." http://www.buzzfeed.com/mikehayes/malaysian-prime-minister-announces-that-flight-370-is-lost |
Malaysia is not a third world country. Read up on the country a little (even wikipedia), look at google images of Kl and other Malaysian cities. |
