Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai, in a press conference in Malaysia, said that he has already told the Department of Civil Aviation to look into the report. He did not say outright that the report is bogus but he did admit that they don’t know if the report is true, thus the need to verify it on the ground.
The minister also said that people should not speculate on this claims of discovery and give space to the DCA to conduct and complete its investigation.
The latest report on the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 comes just five weeks after French experts confirmed a piece of wing that washed up on Reunion Island near Madagascar in Africa was indeed from the missing Malaysian Airlines plane.
The aircraft debris, technically called as a flaperon, was found on July 29 and had the paint color and maintenance record of the missing Boeing 777 aircraft.
It would have really been absurd if the wing of the plane was found in Africa while its fuselage and the cockpit is found in the Philippines.
Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared on March 8 last year while flying from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia to Beijing in China laden with 227 passengers and 12 crew on board.
Since the discovery of the supposed wing part of the missing Flight MH370, more debris have started washing ashore at Reunion Island, as if to reveal more clues to the whereabouts of the plane.
