- Malaysia receives three proposals from different companies to resume search for missing flight MH370.
- Needs to have detailed discussions with the companies.
- A joint two-year search that cost around $159.16m was recently called off in January.
The Malaysian government has received proposals from three different companies offering to continue the search for missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 which went missing 3 years ago.
Malaysian transport minister Liow Tiong Lai said proposals were received from US-based seabed exploration firm Ocean Infinity, Dutch firm Fugro and an unidentified Malaysian company.
"We won't be deciding anything now on whether we are embarking on a new search or not," Liow told reporters on the sidelines of an event in Kuala Lumpur.
"We have to discuss with the companies. It will take some time as it's some detailed discussions," he said.
Liow made this disclosure while commenting on media reports from Australia that claimed Malaysia was on the verge of resuming the search as early as this week.
Australia, Malaysia and China had previously called off a A$200m ($159.16m), two-year search for the plane in January, despite protests from families of those onboard the missing flight.
