Putrajaya was once again slammed by a Bloomberg columnist who compared Malaysia's handling of the MH370 saga with South Korea's response to the recent Sewol ferry tragedy.
In a scathing attack, columnist William Pesek said he would give top marks to South Korea for their handling of the ferry tragedy but found Malaysia sorely lacking in handling the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
He said the incidents could be described as tests for the two governments, if not of Malaysian and South Korean societies.
"The grades so far? I’d give Korea an A-, Malaysia a D," he said in his Bloomberg column titled "One missing jet, one sunken ferry, two responses".
Pesek said in the two weeks since the ferry sank, killing about 300 people on board, the South Korean government had reacted with self-questioning, shame and official penitence.
"President Park Geun Hye issued a dramatic and heartfelt apology. Her No. 2, Prime Minister Chung Hong Won, resigned outright. Prosecutors hauled in the ship’s entire crew and raided the offices of its owners and shipping regulators. Citizens and the media are demanding speedy convictions and long-term reforms," he said.
On the flip side, there was no such reaction on the part of Malaysian authorities 56 days after MH370 vanished, said Pesek.

No margin for mistakes for Malaysia post-MH17, warns Bloomberg columnist
The Malaysian government cannot afford to make any mistakes in its response to the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH17, even though it is not to blame for the tragedy which killed 298 people, said a Tokyo-based journalist. Writing on Bloomberg, William Pesek noted that the...
Lol. Shameful Malaysian government.
