The Ministry of Transport has assured that it will do everything possible to get Cabinet approval to sign a new contract with Ocean Infinity, to resume the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 that disappeared 10 years ago.
Minister Anthony Loke said his ministry will take action on the matter as soon as possible. “I am pleased that there has been some progress in some of the new research methods and technology that has been presented, we are very hopeful that the search will help find the plane, as well as offer some truth to the next of kin.
Loke said he had instructed his ministry to invite Ocean Infinity to Malaysia, and brief him on their no cure, no fee proposal. The minister said the Malaysian government remains determined in the search for MH370. This Friday (March 8) marks a decade since the tragedy of the plane that disappeared without a trace, leaving many questions unanswered and family members of the passengers in uncertainty.
On March 8, 2014, a Malaysia Airlines flight carrying 239 people took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to Beijing, but disappeared from radar screens about two hours after takeoff. Following that, a large-scale search operation involving several countries was carried out in the southern Indian Ocean, but the plane or its wreckage were never found.
