Missing jet reveals uncomfortable Malaysian truths
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — It’s apparently a challenge to find people satisfied with the Malaysian government’s performance in its search for Flight 370: A mainstream daily newspaper here ran a story today on praise being lavished by an anonymous Facebook user from Sweden. The mysterious disappearance of a Boeing 777 with 239 people aboard would test any government, but Malaysia’s is particularly strained because its elite are accustomed to getting an easy ride. Decades in power and a pliant media have cushioned them from scrutiny.
