MALAYSIA AIRLINE
The plane departed for an overnight flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing at 12:40
a.m. on March 8.
Its communications with civilian air controllers were severed at about 1:20 a.m.,
and the jet went missing.
Any voice other than that of Fariq or the pilot, clearest indication yet of
something amiss in the cockpit before the flight went off-course.
The last words ground controllers heard from the plane "All right, good night" —
were spoken by the co-pilot, Fariq Abdul Hamid.

14. Assumption
That will be announced by the Inspector-General of Police, who had highlighted the
four possible scenarios of what could have caused the plane to disappear two weeks
ago, which are.
1. Terrorism
2. Hijacking
3. Personal
4. Psychological problems
5. Technical failure.
These scenarios have been discussed at length with different intelligence agencies.
He said that the CIA, MI6 and Chinese agencies have been involved in investigations
over the flight simulator.
Someone deliberately diverted the flight and shut down communications with
the ground, and the jetliner continued flying for six hoursOne possibility they
have raised was that one of the pilots wanted to commit suicide

15. MALAYSIA GOVERNMENT HELP
Under a 2007 agreement with Malaysia Airlines, Tzu Chi – an
international Buddhist organisation – immediately sent specially-trained
teams to Beijing and Malaysia to give emotional support
to passengers' families.
The airline also sent its own team of caregivers and
volunteers and agreed to bear the expenses of bringing
family members of the passengers to Kuala Lumpur and
providing them with accommodation, medical care, and
counselling
