I will not close the book on MH 370 - Anthony Loke

SHAH ALAM - Transport Minister Anthony Loke says he will not close the book on the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 tragedy.

This unfortunate tragedy will be remembered on the 9th anniversary of its disappearance, which falls on March 8.

In a media release, Loke said that consideration will be given to future search operations if there is any credible information of the potential location of the aircraft’s final resting place.

“To the families of the 239 passengers and crew members on board the lost aircraft, no amount of sympathy can erase the grief and heartache of losing your loved ones.”

Loke added that Malaysians will always stand by the victims' families and share the weight of their pain.

“We honour the lives lost and will not forget them.

“I am painfully aware of the desire for closure. Since 2014, Malaysia and its international partners have searched millions of square kilometres through air, sea and undersea operations.” he said.

MH370 was an international passenger flight operated by MAS that disappeared on March 8, 2014, while flying from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to its planned destination, Beijing Capital International Airport.
