KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Today, March 8, is exactly six years to the day when Malaysia Airlines’ MH370 vanished from the radar while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, China. Despite the long passage of time, the world is still clueless on its final resting place.
And the families of the 239 people on board the Boeing 777 are still looking for closure to the tragic episode.
An extensive multinational search was launched immediately after the plane went missing, and subsequent specialised search using state-of-the-art underwater equipment months later also failed to uncover enough evidence to piece together the jigsaw puzzle. "We should strategise the search instead of dwelling and participating in a wild goose chase. We should not create false hope that could bring more grievances for the next of kin,” he told Bernama recently.
An aviation investigator, Captain Abdul Rahmat Omar Tun Mohd Haniff, said the Transport Ministry was right in not going on a search without new evidence.
