Malaysia's defence minister has sparked outrage after agreeing the tragedy of missing MH370 flight a 'blessing in disguise'.
It is the latest in a series of blunders by Hishammuddin Hussein as the international search continues almost a month after the Boeing 777 went missing. He has been criticised for withholding information from relatives, and failing to stop two Iranians who boarded the plane with stolen passports.
Last night, a Kuala Lumpur-based journalist Ismail Amsyar tweeted the minister saying: 'MH370 is a blessing in disguise for all of us. I understand now the beauty of unity, the sweetness of having each other.'
In a response which has caused international uproar, Mr Hussein said: 'Right u are :)' Outraged Twitter users hit back attacking the 'inappropriate' tweet, which has since been deleted, as families continue to fight for information on the mystery.
Mr Amsyar, who received death threats following the exchange, this morning apologised 'from the bottom of [his] heart' for the comment.FROM THE BOTTOM OF HIS VILE, LITTLE, SHRIVELED, BLACK, MUSLIM HEART.
FUCK ALLAH!
