Aziz Kaprawi: MAS flight was not hijacked, just a drunk and disruptive passenger

PETALING JAYA: Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ab Aziz Kaprawi has confirmed that the "disruptive passenger" who caused flight MH128 to be redirected back to Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport was drunk.

"Malaysia Airlines practises a high level of security and safety, so they turned back. The crew managed to handle the passenger and once they landed, they contacted airport security to have the passenger removed.
