Good luck to the Malaysian authorities trying to sue media for false reporting when their press conferences have often announced their assumptions rather than facts. The announcement about the Thai radar detecting MH370 springs to mind as an example.
AM Monthon said further investigation is needed to find if the plane really passed the Thai skies... He said Malaysia's latest remarks were only assumptions theorising the plane's possible route. (MCOT online news)
If the Malaysians have been announcing their assumptions at press conferences, they cant then criticise the media for reporting their own or printing their own theories given the overwhelming lack of facts in this case.
The comments about Boeing, RR etc not being vocal and now this smacks of desperation to divert the criticism about the handling of this incident away from themselves by the Malaysian government.
