My Opinion about MH653 (Tisantini)

Currently being in 2019 apart from the MH653 flight, there are also flights from Malaysian Airlines which went missing and crashed. Why could this only happen to Malaysian Airlines? In my opinion, it was a tragedy that was expected. One of the VIP who was on board the plane was the agricultural minister at that time, Datuk Seri Ali bin Ahmad. Upon boarding the plane, his bodyguard refuse to let go of his firearm and eventually was allowed to bring it in. Could this be something that we all should take into account? It is a loss for Malaysian Airlines as they hold a huge responsibility for this crash. Malaysia is considered a 3 rd world democracy country (growing today). The development of security system was crucial. Being said that, The Penang Airport was never known for having good security. The security was so bad that the International Federation of Airline Pilots Association had listed its security as “criminally deficient”. Malaysian Airlines paid families of victim a collective of RM8.8 million in compensation which didn’t do much in providing closure for the families of the victims. Apart from this, there were greater changes from the Aviation Security Unit, which was set up to “safeguard domestic and international civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference”. Security was a lot tighter. In years since the fatal incident, many conspiracy has come up regarding the hijacker’s identity. Some said that it includes of the Vietnamese militants, as Singapore had recently arrested 3 Vietnamese militants who was in favour for a hijack of an Air Vietnam plane. There were also rumours stating that it could be the Cuban terrorists as hijacking was trending among Cubans those days as Mario Garcia Inchaustegui was on board MH653. Besides that, another thing involved the bodyguard as what I was saying before this. A rumour went around saying that he was the hijacker. It gained enough attraction that it was even discussed in Parliament. However, the Japanese Red Army were to said was one of the strongest theories behind the hijackings. The Japanese Red Army were a group of militants formed in 1971. They initially made their objective the topple of the Japanese Government and monarchy, just as needing to ignite a world revolution. The JRA was more active in the 1970s as they hijacked a Japan Airlines Flight 351 in 1970 and the Lod Airport Massacre in 1972. MH653 wasn’t even their first involvement in Malaysia but the JRA had been behind the infamous AIA building hostage crisis in 1975. Till today it is still an unsolved mystery which we all wish to know the truth behind this fatal incident. This tragedy remains a dark spot in Malaysia’s aviation history....
