COULD PULSE SIGNAL BE FROM MALAYSIAN MISSING MH370?
A
Chinese ship searching for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane in the
southern Indian Ocean has picked up a pulse signal, Chinese media say.
Oceanographer Dr Simon Boxall told BBC News that the 37.5kHz frequency was used by other devices, but if it proved to be emitted by MH370's flight recorder then the search would go "from virtually the impossible to the plausible".
"If this is the pulse, you're going from tens of thousands of miles to tens of miles... this becomes a viable search region."

MISSING MH370: WORDS FLY IN MALAYSIA’S PARLIAMENT OVER ‘MAGIC CARPET’ RITUAL AT AIRPORT
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Controversial bomoh Ibrahim Mat Zin(photo), who performed a
bizarre ritual at KL International Airport in an effort to find the
missing Malaysia Airlines aircraft, was a subject of discussion among
Members of Parliament.
Pokok Sena MP Datuk Mahfuz Omar of PAS claimed that Ibrahim
personally knew Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (photo), but the Home Minister
denied knowing the bomoh.
"I don't know him, but he may know me like how I know you," Dr Ahmad
Zahid said, adding that it was usual for some people to claim they knew
political personalities.
Lenggong MP Datuk Shamsul Anuar Nasarah of Barisan Nasional hit out
at Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (PKR-Permatang Pauh) for
allegedly stating that Umno was involved in the bomoh stunt.
Mohamed Hanipa Maidin (PAS-Sepang) said Anwar was only criticising how the crisis was being handled by Malaysian authorities.
"Secondly, if we don't want the country to be humiliated, why was the bomoh allowed to paddle at the airport?" he added.
It was reported that Ibrahim and his assistants had brought several
items, including a "magic carpet" which served as a boat, for the ritual
at KLIA.
BN's Kinabatangan MP Datuk Bung Moktar Radin urged the
authorities to take action against the bomoh, who he said had
embarrassed the country.
"If they are truly sincere, they would have done this quietly, be it
in a room or a hotel. Instead, this ritual was done in front of all,
including the world media," he added.
Several MPs from both sides also said they were embarrassed over the bomoh's antics at KLIA.
