KUALA LUMPUR, March 8 ― Malaysia has denied withholding any information from Australia on the disappearance of Flight MH370.

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said that his ministry has already furnished the relevant investigation teams with all the necessary information.

"I think it's all with the investigation team. I said just now in the Parliament all the information has given to the investigation team,” he told reporters when met at the Dewan Rakyat lobby today.

In a report yesterday, The Australian said it had sought the release of satellite tracking information about the missing plane from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) under their country’s Freedom of Information policy, but was rejected.

The daily cited ATSB general manager Colin McNamara who said that revealing the documents "would, or could reasonably be expected to, cause damage to the international relations of the commonwealth”.

According to The Australian, the documents it requested was central to the ATSB’s defence of its failure to find the Malaysia Airlines plane.

Liow also reiterated that the full report on MH370 will be released at the end of the year.

"They will release the report by this year. I have announced just now that the final report will be released by this year,” the MCA president added.

Liow announced in January that the search operation for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 in the southern Indian Ocean had been suspended, three years since the plane went missing on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.
