00:00 Malaysia is advocating for a fresh search effort to locate Malaysia Airlines Flight
00:06 MH370, the country's transport minister announced on Sunday ahead of the impending
00:11 10th anniversary of the aircraft's disappearance.
00:15 The mystery surrounding Flight MH370, a Boeing 777 with 227 passengers and 12 crew members
00:21 on board, persists since it vanished while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March
00:27 8, 2014.
00:28 Initially, Malaysian investigators refrained from dismissing the possibility of deliberate
00:33 diversion in the aircraft's course.
00:35 Debris, including some confirmed and others suspected to be from the aircraft, has been
00:39 discovered along the African coast and on the islands in the Indian Ocean.
00:43 Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke revealed that the US seabed exploration company
00:47 Ocean Infinity had been approached to discuss its latest search proposal following two unsuccessful
00:53 prior attempts.
00:54 Loke emphasized the Malaysian government's unwavering commitment to continue the search
00:59 for MH370, asserting that the quest must persist.
01:03 In 2018, Malaysia enlisted the services of Ocean Infinity to explore the southern Indian
01:08 Ocean, offering a potential payment of up to $70 million contingent upon locating the
01:13 aircraft.
01:14 This decision followed the conclusion of an unsuccessful two-year underwater search jointly
01:19 conducted by Malaysia, China and Australia, which concluded in January 2017, costing $130.46
01:25 million.
01:27 Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke stated that Malaysia would engage in discussions
01:31 with Australia regarding collaboration in recommencing the search, pending approval
01:35 of Ocean Infinity's proposal by Malaysia's cabinet.
01:38 VPR Nathan, whose wife Annie Daisy was a passenger on the flight, expressed support for Ocean
01:44 Infinity's proposal, particularly its "no fine, no fee" option.
01:48 The flight carried over 150 Chinese passengers and their relatives have demanded compensation
01:53 from various entities including Malaysia Airlines, Boeing, Rolls-Royce, and the Alliance Insurance
01:59 Group, among others.
