Malaysian officials have signaled their willingness to reopen the search for MH370 if “compelling” new evidence emerges.
Despite it being 10 years since Malaysia Airlines MH370 vanished over the southern Indian Ocean, capturing global attention and sparking a decade of theories over the doomed flight’s final location, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Monday his government’s position remains the same.
“We have taken the position that if there is a compelling case, evidence that it needs to be re-opened, we’re certainly happy to re-open,” he told reporters in Melbourne, Australia.
“Whatever needs to be done must be done.”
Ibrahim comments come after a U.S. company that tried to find the plane in 2018 proposed a fresh search in the southern Indian Ocean.
Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke said on Sunday he would invite the firm, Ocean Infinity, to brief him on its latest “no find, no fee” proposal. If the evidence is credible, he said, he will seek cabinet’s approval to sign a new contract to resume the search.
“The government is steadfast in our resolve to locate MH370,” Loke told a memorial event on Sunday marking the 10th anniversary of jet’s disappearance.
“We really hope the search can find the plane and provide truth to the next-of-kin.”
