Cathay probes 'coffee threat' on Thaksin's daughter

CATHAY Pacific is probing reports a flight attendant threatened to throw coffee at ousted Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra's daughter, after calling the politician an "enemy", the airline said Monday.   

The attendant said she wanted to throw the drink at Paetongtarn, one of Mr Thaksin's three children, after discovering her on board the flight from Bangkok to Hong Kong, according to Hong Kong's South China Morning Post paper.

"I immediately told my flight manager I could not work knowing the daughter of my enemy was on the plane," the attendant posted on Facebook, according to the newspaper.
"I called my personal adviser asking if it would be all right to throw coffee at Paetongtarn, but was told that this could breach Hong Kong's laws."

The long-running political crisis in Thailand recently saw its first major street protests against the government of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Mr Thaksin's younger sister, who is accused by her rivals of being a puppet for her fugitive brother.

Mr Thaksin, ousted in a military coup in 2006, has been living abroad to avoid a jail term for corruption but makes regular visits to Hong Kong, the southern Chinese city where his family reportedly owns properties.

The Hong Kong flag carrier said they were investigating "allegations of misconduct" following the November 25 flight.

Reports also said the attendant posted a photo of the manifest for the flight Ms Paetongtarn was on.
"Cathay Pacific regrets this unfortunate incident and wishes to assure all of our customers that their privacy - and strict adherence to all privacy regulations - is extremely important to us," a Cathay spokeswoman said.
The airline said the attendant - which it declined to identify - is cooperating in the investigation and "is currently not operating", but would not confirm whether she has been suspended from duty.
Thai media quoted Ms Paetongtarn as saying on social media that she felt "uncomfortable" after the incident and that she was travelling to Hong Kong for a business trip and to see her father.

Why Malaysia?

Why Malaysia? The presence of a large number of Chinese passengers on board the doomed flight is being used to strain relations between Communist China and Malaysia, and it may contribute to a future deterioration of their relationship, resulting in increased justification of Chinese presence in the region, and maybe even future Chinese aggression. This may also help explain why a Malaysian plane was targeted, as opposed to an Indonesian plane (Indonesia is already in the hands of the Globalists, and therefore never gets any brinkmanship from Communist China, which is a creation of the Globalists).   Malaysia is probably the only country in the world whose recent leadership has openly criticized the IMF, Israel, the War on Terror and made claims that 9/11 was an Inside Job. Malaysia has a bustling economy, but the Globalists prefer plantation style economies, such as neighbouring Indonesia, which is completely under Globalist control. Since Malaysia cannot b...

March 27, 2014 - Why would   Israel   have a   plane   identical to the missing   Malaysia Airlines   plane in storage in Tel Aviv? The plane in this photo is   Boeing 777   2H6(ER) - 28416/155, an identical twin of the missing plane, which has been in   Israel   since November 2013. What are the Israelis doing with this plane in a hanger in Tel Aviv?   Could it be part of a false-flag terror plot in the making?  Where is this plane today? According to reports from plane-spotters,   Israel   has an identical   Malaysia Airlines   Boeing 777-200 in storage in   Tel Aviv   since November 2013. The only visible difference between the missing plane and the one in   Tel Aviv   would be its serial number. What do the Israelis have planned with the twin   Malaysia Airlines   plane? By using the twin aircraft they have in storage, the terror masterminds may have a...

SriLankan Airlines Flight Attendants & Ground Staff Used As Mules to Smuggle Gold

Gold smuggling racketeers have once again commenced using Flight Attendants of   SriLankan Airlines   as mules to smuggle gold into the country. A 27 year old former Mihin Lanka Flight Steward Meewala Arachchige Chanuka, who recently joined SriLankan Airlines after the airlines merged, confessed to Custom Officers when he was apprehended a few days ago, that he was promised a sum of Rs 40, 000 for carrying the 6.5 kilo grams of gold valued at Rs 35 million. This reported apprehension is now been taken very seriously by Customs Officers as in the past certain Flight Attendants of the national carrier were used as mules to assist gold smugglers in various ways to traffic gold into the country. The smuggling syndicates had previously roped in many staff by offering then hefty sums as rewards, especially those that had access to the aircraft. Several staff including Flight Attendants, Catering staff, Cleaning staff and the ramp Bus Drivers were all part of a mafia sty...
