I managed to read some of the earlier posts before they were deleted and I sensed the teasing manner in which rain5 defended debonaire1900. He somehow claimed that he knew that debonaire was aware of Massenger's identity. I wonder what's their relationship after having a glimpse of the stuff on google about debonaire's activities. He seemed very upset when someone, I think it was Kal Niranjan, posted clip from google. Not surprisingly that clip is now no longer available on google. Can anyone able to get google to remove stuff that may adversely affect their reputation? Just curious...and it may prove useful one bad day.

Elementary my dear gerago, one phrase sums it all up :

" don't ask, don't tell "

I refrained from further posting on this thread after sunnyboy's arrogant and condescending remarks. I wonder what happened to him/her.

I had come across a link sometime ago on this tragedy but the article was unfortunately in the Malay language; to those who have not come across it, here it is :

" don't ask, don't tell "
Hey, you've gone bonkers or what? What has that got to do with it?

Further to babasinkeh's post, here is a link to a picture of the mausoleum in memory of the MH 653 hijack victims.

This is in keeping to Captain Wooblah's suggestion that this thread remain primarily in memory to Captain Ganjor, his crew and passengers.

Baba & Vel, many thanks for those links. Sorry, geriatrics like me are not very web savvy and I never knew that such sites existed!

Also for Baba, just don't get discouraged by the likes of sunnyboy who I think is now permanently banned from this forum.

I am beginning to enjoy this thread, a mixture of humour, drivel, cold facts and tribute to the fallen ones in the tragedy. Every now and then, some forgotten piece resurfaces helping to keep us aware of how such a tragedy can strike at any time. It also reminds us to be aware of buzzards and hyaenas prowling around even as decent humans unite and commiserate in times of tragedy.

Looks like it. I got an email from someone warning that this individual was on a phishing mission, sending personal mails over pprune to posters on this thread trying to trick people into revealing personal information. He is probably, like someone said, a cyber tropper for the miscreant lato.

It would be fitting if this X files thingy manifest in pariah lato's dream.......fitting juice for his deeds to the skipper of the doomed flight.
Like ganga said, arrogant and sickening as ever. Maybe , he could end up as show at the market square at Jeddah.

Did anybody save the google ad that so riled rain5 that he saw it fit to rail against the poster for being unfair, lacking decorum etc? If you had seen that and putting 2 and 2 together, t'ruddeen's question would surely be answered.

Ahsoneh! That's the piece from google. Now we can see why these lato surrogates are so loyal. Anyway got to thank debby for telling about Apolo Banana Leaf joint...........the grub ain't too bad; it's only our Krishna Curry & Achha Curry houses're better!

Was this your DFO?

Hello MAS pilots, I came across this recently. Was this guy your DFO?


Mohamadon Tajung Kupang is still fresh in my mind as I was assigned to the crash site the following day. It was a indeed a tragedy. I stayed on with many others in Johor Baru until after the mass funeral. It was a very touching event with people from varied race and religious beliefs coming together to mourn the dead. It was indeed 1Malaysia.

I stayed on in MAS until I retired in 2004 but never forget the Crew of MH653. The "Tugu Peringtan" is still in front of the Old Training School at Subang. Wonder how many knows about it now.

Dr. Mohamadon Abdullah

Yep, that's the infamous Dr Con! That's the guy who slapped crew and staff who picketted during the strike in 1978/79. A low grade brown noser, aspiring for the top job but looks like his alcohol binge with Jeff did him no good in the eyes of the directors of the buffet train.

It was Capt Dr con who took over from Capt Kamel, His appointment was a compromise. The first non aviator to run a flight operations.
Yes he drank a bit and did not get along with Tak-Judi-een, so was sidelined. He got back at Tak-Judi-een by filing a police report for mis-management of the cargo at outfit at Hans airport in Germany.. Nothing came out of it. Buried underneath the BN thrash.

Heard someone mentioned that Dr Con should be investigated for allowing pariah lato bai and rat to double dip whilst at Jet during his tenure. Did he get away with that?

In the meantime.. Safe flying!

On the subject of this thread, the cabin crew union does lay a wreath at the " tugu peringatan " mentioned by Dr Con every year on the anniversary of the ill fated flight. Unfortunately the response by MAPA and pilots have been lukewarm...........in fact during the 90s, MAPA representation during the wreath laying ceremonies was zero!

bila, this thread is kept very much alive by the colourful posts by several MAS and ex MAS people who do keep the younger uns well informed of the going ons during the 70s, 80s and 90s. There are lessons to be learnt, so please do not be so anal retentive vis-a vis the postings that digress from the subject matter!

Well said. oldie whiskey! Maybe a course of laxative will help these blokes.

Ganga is right, Dr Con tried to get back at Tajuddin with the court case but well, mamak Toon is always around to help stave off any judicial matter connected to his cronies. But wait, what a joke? Wasn't Dr Con the one who organised a rally in support of Tajuddin at the MAA a decade or more ago?

Hey, heard from some sources that Raju's at Jalan Gasing, PJ is awesome albeit pricey.

Coming back to the thread proper, I wonder why people just discount the possibility of " air rage " as proposed by one former government official. A drunkard body guard with the ego of a football field could have precipitated a chain of events leading to total disaster.
