Isham Ishak says the ministry will also urge the new gov't to resume the search for the missing aircraft.
The Transport Ministry is expected to meet Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin next week to present a cabinet paper on compensation to the next-of-kin of the victims on board MH370 which went missing six years ago.
"I have submitted my request to meet the prime minister next week so that I can present the paper. I will try my best to get the support that you guys have been longing for the last six years," he said at a gathering yesterday to commemorate the sixth anniversary of MH370's disappearance. "I know there's a lot of hope in this room and I can feel that. Who else would you put your heart on, hope on, apart from the government of Malaysia," he said.
Loke said he was supposed to present a paper at a cabinet meeting scheduled on February 26, but was not able to do so due to the recent political turmoil.
