- then onto Military Radar, turn west to west peninsular -
0215 Military Radar loses the unidentified aircraft 200nm NW of Penang at an altitude of 29,500ft (FL295)
You're assuming this transition from ATC too military was contiguous. I'm sure it isn't. The military have some returns along a westerly track at FL295. They may or may not originate with the ATC flight path (I would say likely NOT). They don't know what aircraft they are from, and that's the problem.
