I believe it was because the Malaysians are supposed to be running the investigation according to international treaty, but they were out of their league and couldn't coordinate anything. It looks like the US kinda came over two days ago and told them to stop screwing around and give them data.

Also, I would not be surprised if they knew even more than we know now and are keeping it classified because of the possible terrorist element. If the plane is sitting around somewhere, you don't want them to know you know where it is first from watching it on CNN.



Also, I believe one of the Chinese state papers essentially called the Malaysians out as "backward" a couple days after the disappearance.

Can't say I blame them as the majority of people on board were Chinese nationals.
