Is it possible that the current government is afraid of Anwar and his coalition and for that reason are trying to pin this on anyone or anything but his cousin in the cockpit.
Maybe part of this is internal political extortion — give in to our demands to share power or what we did here can and will be done again — we made a whole airplane disappear and made you look like fools and will do it again.
Is that why they are eliminating every other possibility before they finally center in on Captain Shah???

Shah is related to an in-law of Anwar. I don't think "cousin" is the right term.
Certainly the gov't is afraid of him. No government in this area is really ever secure. Everybody's afraid of someone else and there's never ending plotting and intrigue taking place. But the stakes (corruption money and power) are so huge there's always punters at the table. In this case though, I think it was basically an emotional decision by someone who for one reason or another simply went over the edge. Don't forget to Shah was (so we are told) only assigned to MH370 at the last minute.
