Malaysia's prime minister has promised to continue the search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, almost five years to the day since it disappeared
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has promised to continue the search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, almost five years to the day since it disappeared.
Speaking to CNN affiliate 9 News Australia, Mahathir said"For as long as there is hope, we will continue to think of ways and means to find out" the plane's fate. "We intend to continue" the search, he told Danica Weeks, whose husband Paul was one of 239 on board the plane when it vanished in 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, in what has become one of the world's biggest aviation mysteries.
— 60 Minutes Australia March 3, 2019 In July last year, Malaysian authorities said they had failed to determine the cause of the plane's disappearance, though they did rule out several possibilities.Speaking at a press conference near the capital Kuala Lumpur, lead investigator Kok Soo Chon said MH370 turned back toward Malaysia under manual control, but it could not be determined whether the plane was being flown by the pilot or if there had been any unlawful interference.
— 60 Minutes Australia March 3, 2019 Mahathir dismissed speculation over the role of the plane's pilot in the disappearance, pointing to the man's long career and lack of a clear motivation. "I cannot think that a person who has been flying for so long, a very senior pilot, would do that," he said. Speaking at an event on Sunday, Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke said,"If there is a proposal and credible leads, then we are prepared to look at it.
