Regarding the sad story of the missing MH 370 aeroplane (route Kuala Lumpur - Beijing) on Saturday, 8th March 2014 we heard later on that there were illegal passengers. Those illegal passengers used an Italian passport and an Austrian one. The Italian passport belongs to Mr Luigi Maraldi, who appeared on TV for several times. Additionally there is also info that those illegal passengers are not Asian.
This case reminds me of my experience with officers in airports abroad.
1. In the airport Frankfurt, 24th May 1996
I and other passengers were currently walking in the airport. We were just out from the aeroplane. There was a man with uniform. No idea, whether he was a policeman or an immigration officer. The other passengers, who seemed like European and were walking in front of me, could walk further. I was the only Asian girl. As I passed this officer, he stopped me and asked me to show him my passport. Then I spoke to him in German, "I wanna fly further to Hamburg." He was then a little bit friendly. Maybe he never thought that I can speak German. I just heard from him for the first time the word "Hamburg" in dialect [hambuich]. The city "Hamburg" is pronounced [hamburg] according to the German standard Hochdeutsch. But that officer said, "Aaah, Sie wollen nach [hambuich]". Later on as I stayed in Salzhausen, I heard the people there saying [hambuich]. Maybe the officer in the airport Frankfurt comes from Hamburg and that Hamburg guy has discriminated me.
2. In the airport Kuala Lumpur, 21st May 2004
I went by Malaysia Airlines. In Kuala Lumpur I must change the flight which takes me to Frankfurt. I and other passengers were walking into the waiting room. We would board soon. We were finish with immigration's checking. But it was strange, why 3 men with uniform still stopped me. I didn't know, whether they were policemen or immigration officers. I was not the only Asian girl. Some passengers seemed like Asian people. I really was not happy with their discrimination, then I spoke Indonesian to them. They must understand Indonesian. I complained, why just I was alone, who should show them my passport. They would be wild. Terrible!
Hey, officers in the airport, please don't discriminate passengers!
The illegal passengers of MH 370 maybe were already seen by an officer, who likes to discriminate people. However maybe that officer just thought, that it should be impossible , from seeing the face, that those illegal passengers are illegal passengers. How those illegal passengers could in fact "safely" go through the right and official immigration's checking I have never understood it.
My dear readers,
Please be careful, maybe you would experience what I have experienced.
Until this blog is written, there is still no further info, whether MH 370 is already found. To the passengers and personnel of MH 370: if they should be still safe somewhere, may God protect them and they can come back home.
