"Someone is hiding something. It is not fair that MAS and Malaysia 
should take the blame,” he wrote.

Dr Mahathir suggested the United States' Central Intelligence Agency had 
knowledge of the disappearance of the plane with 239 people on board but 
was not sharing it with Malaysia.

He also claimed that Boeing, the plane’s maker, and “certain” government 
agencies, have the ability to remotely take over control of commercial 
airliners such as the missing Boeing 777.

“For some reason, the media will not print anything that involves Boeing 
or the CIA,” he said.

In another blog last month, Dr Mahathir, who remains a power broker in 
the ruling United Malays National Organisation, questioned whether the 
plane crashed into the southern Indian Ocean and blamed Boeing for its 
disappearance.

During his time in power, Dr Mahathir was often critical of Western 
countries such as the US, even once suggesting the attacks on the World 
Trade Centre in New York were staged as an excuse to mount attacks on 
the Muslim world.

His comments on MH370 reflect deep suspicion in Malaysia of foreign 
involvement in the plane’s disappearance despite Prime Minister Najib 
Razak saying last week that nobody knew what happened on board, or 
precisely where the plane was, more than two months after it disappeared."
