Residents of remote islands in the Maldives spotted a “low flying jumbo jet” on the morning the MH370 disappeared, according to local news site – Haveeru.
The islands are outside both the northern and southern flight corridors currently being searched – they are roughly mid way between the two. It is also very late to be getting sketchy eyewitness reports of something that happened more than 10 days ago, but here’s the story.
Several residents of Kuda Huvadhoo told Haveeru on Tuesday that they saw a “low flying jumbo jet” at around 6:15am on March 8.
They said that it was a white aircraft, with red stripes across it – which is what the Malaysia Airlines flights typically look like.
Eyewitnesses from the Kuda Huvadhoo concurred that the aeroplane was travelling North to South-East, towards the Southern tip of the Maldives – Addu. They also noted the incredibly loud noise that the flight made when it flew over the island.
“I’ve never seen a jet flying so low over our island before. We’ve seen seaplanes, but I’m sure that this was not one of those. I could even make out the doors on the plane clearly,” said an eyewitness.

First of all, I'm not sure an AWACs plane 'jams' things, I could be wrong.
Secondly I don't think civillian radar 'lost' the plane but military radar could see it flying for another hour which = plane invisible to one radar and not the other - as the theory is saying
Malaysias civillian radar could see a plane, but could not identify it due to the transponders being turned off. Military radar could also see this plane at the same time. So it wasn't masked from one radar and not the other.

Not good if true;
...It would support the Westward turn and then Thailand saying it wasn't detected by it's Northern radar.

AUSTRALIAN maritime officials have identified a search area off Western Australia, after the Taliban denied involvement in Malaysia Airlines flight MH370’s disappearance.
Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports in Malaysian media say investigators probing the homemade flight simulator of the MH370 captain have found five runways from Indian Ocean airports programmed into it.
The Berita Harian Malay language paper quotes unnamed sources close to the investigation as saying that the airport runways were Male International Airport in the Maldives,Diego GarciaDiego Garcia and three runways in India and Sri Lanka.
The source is quoted as saying that all the runways programmed into the simulator are 10,000 metres long.

Not my news just passing on what I have read
A Malaysian newspaper is reporting that investigations into the flight simulator, seized from the home of one of MH370's missing pilots, included software for five practice runways around the Indian Ocean, where the desperate search for the plane is continuing.
The Berita Harian is reporting that five runways were programmed into Captain Zaharie Shah's homemade flight simulator that was taken by police for analysis last Saturday.
"Among the software we checked so far is the Male International Airport in Maldives, three airports in India and Sri Lanka, and one belonging to the US military base in Diego Garcia. All have a runway length of 1,000 metres," a source told the Malay daily.

The aerial search for missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 flight has been hampered by refusal from Indonesia to let planes overfly their territory.

Thanks for trying to keep us current.
This has been posted. I read one article (which appears to use the same wording as what you've quoted), and the 'source' for the 'news' is Sorcha Faal.
Because of 'the source', I have put no effort into an attempt to determine if any (even one piece) of the claims are based in this reality.
If someone could/would show verification (of, at least, some of the facts)...it might draw more attention.
