MELBOURNE, March 5 — Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim expressed his willingness today to “reopen” the search for flight MH370 if “compelling” evidence surfaced, indicating a potential revival of efforts a decade after the aircraft vanished. “If there is compelling evidence that it needs to be reopened, we will certainly be happy to reopen it,” he stated during a visit to Melbourne, responding to inquiries about the matter. Anwar’s remarks coincide with the 10th anniversary of MH370’s disappearance, which left 239 individuals unaccounted for.
Despite the extensive search operations conducted since the Boeing 777 aircraft vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in 2014, the plane remains undiscovered, prompting calls from families for a renewed effort. Transport Minister Anthony Loke affirmed Malaysia’s commitment to locating the plane, emphasizing that cost would not be an obstacle, while discussions with marine exploration firm Ocean Infinity hint at potential new search endeavors in the future.
