MH370 PRESS STATEMENT BY GENERAL TAN SRI DATO’ SRI RODZALI DAUD CHIEF OF ROYAL MALAYSIAN AIR FORCE

11 April 2014 MH370 PRESS STATEMENT BY GENERAL TAN SRI DATO’ SRI RODZALI DAUD CHIEF OF ROYAL MALAYSIAN AIR FORCE

With regards to yesterday’s (10 April) release on the CNN website which stated that:

“Malaysian air force search aircraft were scrambled around 8 a.m., soon after Malaysia Airlines reported that its plane was missing early March 8, Malaysian sources told CNN. The aircraft were scrambled before authorities corroborated data indicating that the plane turned back westward, a senior Malaysian government official told CNN. But the air force did not inform the Department of Civil Aviation or search and rescue operations until three days later, March 11, a source involved in the investigation told CNN.”

In my capacity as the Chief of the Royal Malaysian Air Force, I can confirm that the above allegation is totally false.
