It has been my understanding the Malaysian government does own the airlines and it is not private.Malaysia doesn't own the airline right? The airline would be responsible if it didn't keep up with maintenance - more responsible than Boeing. It's harder to blame the government if the airline is private and wasn't doing the right things. I don't know how it works internationally.
Hypoxia can make you extremely confused way before unconsciousness - confused enough to turn off things you should not be turning off. Re: the earlier discussion about the word "deliberate" - I agree that this could mean turning something off due to confusion. It means someone turned the switch, not that they did it maliciously. That tends to be the implication, but it's not definite at all.
The confusion could have caused them to turn off the transponders and ACARS. It could also explain the mumble heard by the other pilots and a host of other things.
