KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 ― The Transport Ministry is considering taking action against the air traffic controllers who were on duty when Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 vanished on March 8, 2014.

Anthony Loke announced today that his ministry will set up a committee that would look into possible action to be taken against the controllers.

"Some of them are still working with Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia,” Loke said.

The agency was formerly known as Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) when the incident happened.

The MH370 report, which was made public yesterday, concluded that air traffic controllers did not follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) when the incident happened.

MH370 went missing while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, with 239 people on board.
