The "reward" offer was withdrawn as fast as it was made - showing the typical shambolic workings of the Malaysian Govt.
The Malaysian Deputy Transport Minister Abdul Aziz Kaprawi "offered" the reward last week - but within 3 days, he was over-ridden by the Transport Minister, Liow Tiong Lai, who issued this statement, refuting any "reward offer" ...
"The Government has not made any decision ... it was the Deputy Minister's personal view, not the Government's, we are not having any such decision," Liow said.
Malaysia withdraws MH370 reward offer as search ends
The whole Malaysian exercise looks suspect, and one wonders why a reward was only raised nearly 3 years after the disappearance of MH370.
One wonders why, if the Malaysians were genuinely concerned about discovering the wreckage, why they didn't offer a smaller reward much earlier in the search, to tribal people, peasants and fisherman, in regions bordering the Indian Ocean, to look out for and bring in any flotsam found, with possible aviation origins.
If they had done so, I'm personally convinced the wreckage of the aircraft would have been found, by now.
