SUBANG JAYA: The government is ready to talk with interested parties who want to resume the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, says transport minister Loke Siew Fook.
He said he has given instructions to his ministry to invite Ocean Infinity for a meeting over their latest “no find, no fee” proposal to find MH370.
Loke said he is ready to meet the company whenever they are in the country.
He added that the government’s position remains consistent in that consideration will be given to another search operation when new information and credible evidence have been ascertained.
“As the ministry representing the Malaysian government, the search will go on (when new information and credible evidence is ascertained).
“I make this promise that I’ll do everything possible to get Cabinet approval, to sign the agreement with Ocean Infinity to restart the investigation as soon as possible (depending on the outcome of the meeting),” Loke said at the 10th Annual Remembrance Event for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.
He also hopes that a new search would find something of note to provide some closure for the next of kin of the MH370 victims.
