Kuala Lumpur – Liow Lai, Malaysian Transport Minister, has assured relatives of the 239 people aboard the missing Beijing-bound Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 that government remained committed to searching for the plane. Lai said on Tuesday in Kuala Lumpur that even though a piece of wreckage found in southern Thailand last week was not part of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, government would not relent in its efforts to get a clue to the disappearance. He said report from a team from Malaysia Airlines and Malaysia’s civil aviation department that assembly numbers on the pieces which included wire bundles and bolts, it did not match those of a Boeing 777.

“Based on the identifying details, the team has confirmed that the debris does not belong to a B777 9M-MRO aircraft. The minister said Flight MH370 disappeared without a trace about an hour after it took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport on March 8, 2014. Lai said experts believed the plane crashed in the southern Indian Ocean but an Australian-led search for the missing aircraft has been unsuccessful. On Monday, search officials said they had lost a sonar device and thousands of metres of cable being used to look for the plane wreck. In July, part of the plane was found on Reunion Island, off the east coast of Africa. (dpa/NAN)
