AMERICAN marine robotics company Ocean Infinity’s proposal to resume the search for Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 which disappeared in 2014 en route to Beijing will be presented to the Cabinet in August, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
“We need time because we require a detailed proposal from Ocean Infinity before we can submit it to the Cabinet. It will be brought up to the Cabinet in August,” Loke was reported as saying by Bernama.
Earlier, the Seremban MP was reported as saying that the company had submitted a proposal along with the latest evidence and information for review by relevant authorities under the ministry to revive the search for MH370.
The Association For Families of the Passengers and Crew on board MH370 recently revealed on Facebook that Ocean Infinity had forwarded a proposal to revive the search efforts to Loke.
Among other suggestions, the company proposed conducting the search operations on a “No Find, No Fee” basis.
