Hishammuddin under the spotlight as he evades questions from CNN on MH370

Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein (pic), who has been at the forefront of Malaysia’s efforts to locate flight MH370, found himself under CNN’s spotlight yesterday after the global news network showed him ducking several probing questions from its senior international correspondent, Nic Robertson.

The acting Transport Minister was at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) on Sunday to visit the 14th Defence Service Asia (DSA) 2014 exhibition when he was asked by Robertson on when the military had informed civilian authorities that the Malaysia Airlines flight had been picked up by its radar.

The CNN video showed Hishammuddin declining to answer the question, saying he was at the PWTC for a walkabout and would be holding a press conference later.

At one stage, Robertson was apparently pushed away by one of the minister’s aides and was heard saying “you don’t have to push”. He was later advised by Hishammuddin’s aide to wait for the press conference.
