It's safer to take a flight in Malaysia compared to Indonesia. According to Aviation Safety Network and Flight Safety Organisation, since 1943, only 32 fatal accidents happened in Malaysia, involving 285 casualties. On the other hand, 102 fatal accidents involving 2,195 casualties occured in Indonesia.
In the past five years, three major accidents happened in Indonesia involving its own Air Force - 99 casualties (May 2009), Adamair - 102 casualties (January 2007) and Mandala Airlines - 199 casualties (September 2005). So much so that a number of Indonesia airlines are banned by the European Union. These include AdamAir, Mandala Airlines, Merpati Nusantara, Lion Airlines, Sriwijaya Air and Manunggal Air.
Ot the other hand, the last major accident in Malaysia happened in September 1995, involving a Malaysian Airlines Fokker 50 aircraft in Tawau with 34 casualties. No Malaysian airlines have been banned by the European Union.
My sincere condelences to the families of the casualties.

Note: I've decided not to translate my posts into Malay anymore. English is our global language. If you want to get ahead, you'll have to learn it like Malaysians do from their first day of primary school.
