MH370 After 25 days, the Malaysian authorities today finally released the transcript of Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Flight MH370's final hour of communication with air traffic controllers.
In a statement, acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein ( right ) said there was nothing unusual about the transcript.
"There is no indication of anything abnormal in the transcript. The transcript was initially held as part of the police investigation," he said, adding that the document has also been released to family members.
Hishammuddin acknowledged investigators had previously theorised the final words from Flight MH370 was from co-pilot Fariq Ab Hamid but said this remains unconfirmed.
"The police are working to confirm this belief, and forensic examination of the actual recording is on-going," the statements read.
Despite the communications appearing above board, Hishammuddin stressed investigators still believed the aircraft was deliberately diverted by someone on board.
"The international investigations team and the Malaysian authorities remain of the opinion that, up until the point at which it left military primary radar coverage, MH370’s movements were consistent with deliberate action by someone on the plane," he said.
The essence of the released transcript appear to match the transcript that was leaked to UK-based The Telegraph on March 21.
However, the verbatim words deferred as The Telegraph 's copy was translated from Chinese language.
Malaysia's Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) had at that time refused to confirm the leak, merely stating that the published version was "not accurate".
Previously, the DCA said the last words from the cockpit were, "All right, good night."
However, the DCA in a statement yesterday clarified the erroneous information, saying the last words were in fact, "Good night, Malaysian three seven zero."
