SYDNEY - Malaysia is willing to reopen an investigation into one of the world’s greatest aviation mysteries, the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines MH370
In January 2017, Malaysia, along with Australia and China, ended a fruitless two-year, US$130 million (S$175 million) underwater hunt for the Boeing 777 that vanished with 239 aboard en route to Beijing from the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur on March 8, 2014.
“We have taken the position that if there is a compelling case, evidence that it needs to be reopened, we’re certainly happy to reopen,” Datuk Seri Anwar told a press conference in Melbourne.
He was speaking on the sidelines of a summit between Australia and the Asean grouping of South-east Asian nations.
“Whatever needs to be done must be done,” Mr Anwar added. REUTERS
