Yes, daughter there are a lot of unanswered questions. There people in the know who cannot reveal what they know............our SB and Police intelligience may be daft in certain matters but they do keep tabs on people who are connected to this case or even those who they think is somehow connected in this incident. You will find a lot of cagey postings here with some cryptic messages..........you know even RPK's email had been hacked and RPK has some very cyber savvy people helping him!
Now back to this tragedy. When Capt Ganjor indicated that he needed to proceed to SIN, I do not think that the Subang ATC had any idea what was happening....................hijack had never occurred in Malaysian airspace then and I don't think the authorities had any clue what was going on. They must have been very confused as the aircraft is passed over from Lumpur Approach to Lumpur Control ( southern sector ). Then, Lumpur Control would have advised SIN ATC that MH 653 was probably under duress or something strange had happened to the flight. All the radio transmissions from MH 653 to ATC and vice versa would not have remained in the CVR ( cockpit voice recorder ) as they would have been recorded over by the remaining last 30 minutes of cockpit sounds. The only records would have been ATC tapes which were never made public.
Somewhere abreast of Batu Pahat, Lumpur Control would have transferred ATC control to Singapore ATC...............this is where it probably got very nasty. SIN ATC would have told MH 653 that under no circumstances would they entertain any demands by the hijacker and I surmised that everything turned south at this juncture, dooming the flight.
Now about the agriculture minister; he was purportedly under the watchful eyes of the BPR which was quite efficient during the tenure of the then PM Hussein Onn who surely must have known that he needed to act or be stabbed by his then deputy, the snake charmer keralite. Things happened quickly affording him hardly any advanced planning; the hijacking seemed like a desperate last minute thing. Desperados do strange and inexplicable things. The rest is left for us to piece together.
