KUALA LUMPUR, May 3 — The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) has no plans to reveal the findings of their investigations on the disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 at this moment. I

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said this included the investigations on possible hijack, sabotage, psychological aspect and personal problems faced by passengers and crew of the ill-fated flight.

“As the investigations are still ongoing, we will not reveal the findings at any time now,” he told a press conference after attending the PDRM-MEDIA shooting competition at the General Operations Force (PGA) shooting range in Cheras here today.

Also present were his deputy Datuk Seri Mohd Bakri Mohd Zinin and Bukit Aman Police Logistics Department director Datuk Zulkifli Abdullah. Khalid said as at yesterday, the police had recorded 311 statements concerning the tragedy, including from the victims’ family members.

Flight MH370, with 239 people aboard, left the KL International Airport at 12.41 am on March 8 and disappeared from radar screens about an hour later while over the South China Sea.

It was to have arrived in Beijing at 6.30 am on the same day. A multinational search was mounted for the Boeing 777-200 aircraft, first in the South China Sea and then, after it was learnt that the plane had veered off course, in the southern Indian Ocean.

After an analysis of satellite data indicated that the plane’s last position was in the middle of the Indian Ocean, west of Perth, Australia, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced on March 24 that Flight MH370 “ended in the southern Indian Ocean”. — Bernama
