In a tit for tat, former Royal Malaysian Air Force pilot Zaidi Ahmad has challenged Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein to sack himself for being complacent over the loss of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.

Zaidi asked the minister why no RMAF aircraft was directed to the air to investigate despite reports that the missing MAS airplane had flown over the air force’s Butterworth and Gong Kedak airbases.
