Why on earth would they say the plane was monitored by radar and seen in the malacca strait, and then turn around and say that information was incorrect.

I think the MDF General was misquoted by a Malaysian tabloid newspaper.
Another remotely possible theory I saw online is that the aircraft had an instrument and electrical failure in the cockpit and being in the middle of the night, over water, lost their bearings and they went way off course into a region they simply weren't supposed to go (western Pacific) and the aircraft ran out of fuel and crashed into the sea.
Doesn't explain the loss of transponder contact or lack of communication though.
