COMMENT | Even before the company which wants to resume the search for missing MH370 has made its briefing, Transport Minister Anthony Loke has already expressed his intention to push the cabinet to agree to this dubious venture.

According to Malaysiakini, Loke said he will seek the cabinet’s approval for the government to sign a new contract with US-based marine robotics company Ocean Infinity Ltd for the resumption of the search.

"The Malaysian government’s position is consistent - we will consider a further search operation when new information and credible evidence is ascertained. To this end, I have instructed the Transport Ministry to invite Ocean Infinity to Malaysia to brief me on their latest ‘no cure, no fee’ proposal.”

That’s a rather premature move considering that..
