Note:

Log On request made from KLA terminal at 18:03 and then followed by Voice Call at 18:39. Though both went unanswered they would not have gone unnoticed:

Shortly afterwards the pilot takes MH370 off its northwesterly heading and veers south as if now realizing that ground control now know where he is and what he is doing and where he is heading.

At this point he was just barely north of Sumatra and able to skirt Indonesian radar as he turned south.
