MH370 : PM NAJIB RAZAK’S PRESS STATEMENT ON MH370

This evening I was briefed by representatives from the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB). They informed me that Inmarsat, the UK company that provided the satellite data which indicated the northern and southern corridors, has been performing further calculations on the data. Using a type of analysis never before used in an investigation of this sort, they have been able to shed more light on MH370’s flight path.

Based on their new analysis, Inmarsat and the AAIB have concluded that MH370 flew along the southern corridor, and that its last position was in the middle of the Indian Ocean, west of Perth.

This is a remote location, far from any possible landing sites. It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that, according to this new data, flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean.

We will be holding a press conference tomorrow with further details. In the meantime, we wanted to inform you of this new development at the earliest opportunity. We share this information out of a commitment to openness and respect for the families, two principles which have guided this investigation.

Malaysia Airlines have already spoken to the families of the passengers and crew to inform them of this development. For them, the past few weeks have been heartbreaking; I know this news must be harder still. I urge the media to respect their privacy, and to allow them the space they need at this difficult time.


Terkini dari sidang akhbar mengenai kehilangan pesawat #MH370 dari PWTC oleh Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, 10 malam, 10:00 malam

Dengan rasa dukacita, ingin dimaklumkan bahawa pencarian pesawat MH370 berakhir di kawasan terpencil selatan Lautan Hindi.

Satu sidang akhbar akan diadakan esok dengan maklumat lebih lanjut.

Awalnya tadi, kami berkongsi maklumat ini kepada keluarga dengan penuh rasa keterbukaan dan hormat. Malaysia Airlines sudah bercakap dengan keluarga penumpang dan anak kapal untuk memberitahu mereka tentang perkembangan ini.

Bagi mereka, beberapa minggu lalu telah menyayat hati. Saya tahu berita ini mesti lebih sukar untuk diterima. Saya menggesa pihak media untuk menghormati privasi mereka dan memberikan mereka ruang pada masa yang amat sukar ini.

BBC News are reporting a text has been sent to families that "Malayisa Airlines deeply regrets we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that MH370 has been lost and none on board survived"
