MAHB Lodges Police Report On Stowaway Incident
PUTRAJAYA, Oct 16 (Bernama) -- Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) Tuesday lodged a police report calling on the authorities to conduct thorough investigations into the incident of a Palestinian man slipping into
Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy said the report was lodged to enable the Malaysian police to conduct full-scale investigations into the October 11 incident, including interviewing the Palestinian, who is being held in
"I must tell you the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) has just conducted security audit on KLIA and we have complied with all ICAO requirements," he said. Chan said MAHB closed-circuit surveillance cameras also did not pick up any visual of the Palestinian anywhere in the airport and checks at the airport's security fences did not reveal any sign of break-ins.
"So many questions are left unanswered. We need to go through thoroughly. Let our police take some time to look into it," he said. He, however, declined to divulge contents of the

The KLIA Airport authorities were embarrassed when informed from the Singapore end. And this could possibly be due to the lack of security in the month of Ramandan that he managed to get into the aircraft taking off area. He could well be an employee in the airport and must have some good advice from friends where to hide. He was also lucky the nose landing gear did not crushed him up when retracted.
The failure of the Big Screen on Dataran Merdeka for the Soyuz lift off is another example.

M'sia orders probe into SIA jet stowaway
The predictable & standard reply from the Transport Minster, - a through Investigation, an Inquiry or a probe for any mishap, crash, accident related to transport.
'I am very unhappy with the preliminary report on the incident. The airport is a security area, this should not have happened,'
Transport Minister Chan Kong Choy said according to the state Bernama news agency. The 27-year-old Palestinian stowaway, Osama R.M. Shublaq, hid in the nose wheel well of Singapore Airlines flight SQ 119 from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). He is reported to have fallen about 2.4 metres from the SIA plane's wheel well to the ground after the Boeing 777-2000 taxied to a gate at Changi Airport on Thursday night. He was charged with entering Singapore without a valid pass or permit, and if convicted he could be jailed for up to six months, caned three times or more, or fined up to 6,000 Singapore dollars (4,000 US). Datuk Seri Chan said the Department of Civil Aviation and KLIA's operator Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad has been ordered to investigate the incident and a report was expected to be submitted on Tuesday. – AFP

They said the flight's short duration could have saved him as the airliner does not have to ascend to the same height as passenger planes on long haul journeys. Furthermore, as the wheel well is not pressurised, the lower flight altitude could have helped the stoway to breathe easier, as compared to an airliner flying in the thin air of around 35,000 to 40,000 feet -- the cruising altitude for most passenger jets. Malaysian airport authorities told The Straits Times that they are reviewing how the man could have breached airport security and smuggled himself aboard the plane.

Airbus finally ready to deliver A380 to SIA
The plane, which can seat over 800 people, will arrive in S'pore next week
It is to be delivered to SIA on Monday before entering service on a Singapore-Sydney route 10 days later. Capable of carrying from 555 to more than 800 passengers, the double-decker plane is Airbus' most ambitious project to date. But it has been racked by problems and has laid bare the difficulties of European industrial cooperation. 'It's not the end of Airbus' problems, but it's a significant step to deliver the first A380,' said aviation analyst Leigh Bailey at ratings agency Standard and Poor's. Airbus announced slips to the A380 schedule on three occasions, principally due to wiring complications. It estimates the cost of the accumulated 18 months of delays at about US$6 billion (S$8.8 billion).
Lack of cooperation between French and German engineers was partly to blame. The group has since launched a severe restructuring plan with 10,000 job cuts expected.
After delays, management changes, sniping between the group's French and German shareholders and financial losses, EADS - the Airbus parent company - is now embroiled in an insider trading scandal linked to the A380 problems. The launch of the plane therefore gives EADS and Airbus a chance to turn the corner. Airbus will hold a ceremony on Monday at its headquarters and main factory in
About 15 airlines have placed firm orders for the A380. Dubai-based Emirates is the leading client among a customer list that includes predominantly Asian, European and Gulf-based carriers. Around 170 firm orders and 20 preliminary agreements for the A380 are now on the books. But Airbus says it needs to sell 420 of the planes at catalogue prices to cover its costs - up from 270 when the programme was launched in 2000.
Boeing, meanwhile, has no acceptance problems for its 787, with more than 600 orders so far. But the

At the start of the Raya Holidays, local tourists were making a beeline to Pulau Tioman for a break. Mostly families with small children tagging along as seen in the coming pictures. Not only is the engine overloaded, the boat capacity is also. According to Police its limit is 75 passengers and on that fateful journey, more than 100 were there. Now it is fear there may be a few other missing person.
(Check back for the coming post, more pics of survivors with badly burned hands and all of them were seating at the back near to the engine room). When the disaster started, it was announced as an emergency and all the passengers panic, there were insufficient life jackets to go around and the engine oil fueled fire spread very quickly. Everyone rushed to the front and those with jackets jumped into the sea. Luckily, other nearby boats & ferries came to fish them out but 4 older people drowned.

When a couple quarreled, there is this anger and hatred towards each other. Emotions like energy, they flow through you; you feel them and then they disappear. When you try to hold them back they build up and exploded into shouting matches with hurtful words.
The wife in this case tried to cool things over by walking out but too late this time. They might have rows after rows before and this must have been the last straw for the man to take the easy way out and also to end the sufferings of the children.
When we are born into this world we have to undergo all the procedures of a human being. We have to be ignorant again, we have to be a baby, a child, a adult and relearn all the things again and gain more experience in other things we lacked in our natural development. We have to suffer all these illusionary desires, and then the disappointment of the unfulfilled desires and all those kind of things until one day we have enough of it and end it all. But are the lessons well learned. Otherwise another round trip and an awful experience again for some

This is also a case of Malaysia Boleh. The security guards must be sleeping. It can only reveal that security is so lax that anyone can get through. Malaysia Airports, you have a huge task ahead.

Poor Transport Minister. How come I am the only one having problems when all others are having a jolly good time at Hari Raya Open House. Poor Mlaysians. Ever year more than 6000 have to perished because of accidents due to negligence or incompetence. This figure could have easily halved if corruption is wiped out. Never mind we will set up another commiteee to investigate the cause of the security breach and the fire. This one will be headed by Tun Ling because he is an experienced man being the Transport Minister for 17 years. I am sure he can come up with the solution and remedies in 7 days. In the meantime we wait for the next incident to happen. Aferall a bridge also collasped in America and all ours are still standing. The next accident waitng to happen wiil be an explosion at a gas station because smoking seems to be permitted. I only hope it is not at SHELL as this is the one I use now hoping to win a trip to Spain or Turkey. Selamat Hari Raya. Maaf Zahir & Batin.
