Earlier, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dr Mahathir Mohamad, questioned whether MH370 had even crashed into the Indian Ocean - and he blamed manufacturer Boeing for its fate.

‘The loss of the plane is due to the makers, Boeing. How can Boeing produce a plane that is so easily disabled?’

So per the Malaysian PM, it’s Boeing’s fault that the pilot was able to disable the ACARS and transponder.
