What you are about to read is transcribed directly from the ABC documentary, and features towards the end.

The individual depicted below is Malaysian Minister of National Defense and Transport, Hishammuddin Hussein.

He is interviewed by ABC Four Corners reporter,

Caro Meldrum-Hanna.

REPORTER: We now know multiple authorities watched MH370 disappear, despite the inaction and the repeated failures that night by those in charge. No one in Malaysia has taken responsibility for the loss of MH370.

[The Minister of National Defense and Transport refused to comment further at a media conference when a reporter asked him why (a year after the Flaperon was located on La Reunion Island) that nothing had been released in writing re it's find/state etc. But one week later, at the Ministry of Defence , Minister Hishammuddin agreed to an interview with Four Corners to answer questions about what the military did and didn't do.

For the first time, confirming that civil aviation did ring the Military that morning.

Here's how the conversation went.... word for word!]

REPORTER: "Did DCA contact the Military?"

MINISTER: "Yes they did."

REPORTER: "What time?"

MINISTER: "You'd have to ask the DCA, and it'll come out, the details, I think the dates, 'cos I do not want to be trapped, by, from my experience in the last four weeks, by dates, by numbers, by names, by rank."

REPORTER: [Narrating] Even though Civil Aviation had rung the Military, possibly as early as 2am, alerting officers on duty to look out for a lost unidentified commercial plane, the military allowed MH370 to glide out to sea. Minister Hishammuddin told Four Corners that MH370 was tracked by the military in real time but inexplicably dismissed as not hostile by the officer on duty. The military also decided not to send up one of its planes to investigate.

REPORTER: "But why not send the jets up if you you have conceded that you knew that you knew very early in the morning the plane was missing. There was four and a half hours time in which to respond?"

* MINISTER: "It was dark, it was commercial, it was from our own airspace, we're not at war with anybody. [Unintelligible] .... Are you going to suggest we were to shoot it down?"

REPORTER: "Well you said that, not me."

MINISTER: "No, I'm asking you." [Smirking}

REPORTER: "I could not possibly...."..."have said that."

MINISTER: So what's the point, if you're not going to shoot it down, what's the point of sending it up?" [Smirking]

REPORTER: "To see where it's going."

MINISTER: "Well - to see where it's going. You need a Fighter for that? Were talking about military procedures, and if I did shoot it down, you'd be the first to say.... 'How can you shoot down a commercial airline with 14 nationals, half of them Chinese. I'd be in a worse position probably." [Smirking]

REPORTER: "Why shoot it down if it's not hostile?"

MINISTER: Well the American's would!"

REPORTER: [Narrating] If the military didn't dismiss the plane as irrelevant; if the officers on duty took action, the government would have avoided another costly mistake, spending a week searching the wrong area with no signals to chase.

Despite the cost, the search goes on, led by Australia.

PETER FOLEY: [Head of ATSB] "Ah, we haven't found anything, the search continues in the, aah, adjacent areas, and hopefully we'll find something, but um, I would say, that um, ah, over the next um um eight to twelve months we'll find the aircraft. Um, we'll find it's final resting place."

REPORTER [Narrating} We now know multiple authorities watched MH370 disappear, despite the inaction and the repeated failures that night by those in charge. No one in Malaysia has taken responsibility for the loss of MH370.

---- ENDS ----

* This statement made by the minister is concerning. We have an aircraft that is not transmitting who and what it is due to the transponder being switched off, yet it is identified on primary military radar. At THE TIME MH370 was missing, HOW would they have known it was a commercial aircraft just from a radar blip?

The minister himself said 'How can you shoot down a commercial airline with 14 nationals, half of them Chinese?

And, equally important - How did they know it was Malaysian? Simply because it was "from" their airspace?!!!

They would have had nothing but a radar blip and by the time Butterworth Base in Penang had picked it up they SHOULD AND WOULD have been well aware of what it was!
