Why did the change of direction of MH370 not trigger fighters scramble ?

Hi,
To come back to the very origin of the disappearance of MH370, I saw no real discussion as to why the change of direction, noticed by the military radar, did not trigger fighters scramble. Eventually, MH370 flew for at least 1 h westward, which was totally against its flight plan. Fighters could have helped identifying what was the problem (like they did in the Helios incident).
