#MH370 crossed over "another" country. So why didn't Malaysia want to name it?

"No mystery, Nihonmama. The canonical primary radar track shows MH370 passing over the southeasternmost corner of Thailand shortly after making its 180 at IGARI."
Where does that canonical radar track come from? Because per AP's article on 03.18, Thailand's air force spokesman said "the plane never entered Thai airspace"

Have the Thais walked back from that statement or did subsequent reviews of the radar data show that the Thai's were wrong (or lying)?
IF Thais are correct and Malaysia's statement that MH370 CROSSED over another country is correct, the country MH370 crossed must have been Indonesia.
So why didn't Malaysia just say that?
Recall (from Daily Mail Australia 09.14.14)
"The head of the Indonesian Police Force claimed he knows 'what had actually happened with MH370.' General Sutarman made the comment in front of airline officials and senior police in Jakarta. Malaysian authorities expressed their shock and plan to speak with him"
That same day, Malaysia's Inspector General of Police, Khalid Abu Bakar, tweeted that Indonesia's police chief was "wrongly quoted by Indonesian Tempo":
