MH370 Updated: PM confirms plane's movement consistent with "deliberate action"

BREAKING (3:05pm): Salient points from the Prime Minister's statement given at the press conference:

1. New data shows last confirmed location was Saturday, 8 March at 8.11AM which indicate how far the plane has flown.
2. Based on new satellite communication data, we can say with a high degree of certainty that the Aircraft Communications, Addressing and Reporting System or ACARS, was disabled just before the aircraft reached the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
3. Shortly aftewards, near the border between Malaysia and Vietnamese air traffic control, the aircraft transponder was switched off.
4. From this point onwards, the Royal Malaysian Air Force’s primary radar showed that an aircraft, believed to be (but not confirmed to be) MH370, did indeed turn back.
5. It then flew back over Peninsular Malaysia, before turning northwest into the Straits of Malacca, up until the point at which it left military primary radar coverage.
6. The PM also said that plane movement was consistent with "deliberate action" by someone on the plane.
7. There will be refocused investigation into the crew and passengers on board.
8. Despite news reports that investigators concluded it was a hijacking, PM Najib said "I wish to be very clear we are still investigating all possibilities as to what caused MH370 to deviate from its original flight path." Hijacking is not ruled out, however.
9. Based on the direction in which the plane flew, the plane could have headed in one of two possible corridors:
- Northern corridor: border of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan to Northern Thailand.
- Southern corridor: From Indonesia to Southern Indian Ocean.
9. Operations in the South China Sea will be ended and deployment of assets will be reassessed.
10. Malaysia Airlines is informing families of the passengers of the new developments.
11. "The search has entered a new phase... We hope this new information will bring us one step closer to finding the plane."

Mohd Mentor Bebas Tuduhan Merogol

Penyanyi Mohd Mentor boleh menarik nafas lega apabila dibebaskan daripada tuduhan merogol temannya, Zatul selepas kes tersebut diklasifikasikan sebagai 'no futher action' (NFA) atau tiada tindakan selanjutnya.

"Peguam saya telah meminta surat kenyataan rasmi sebagai bukti mengesahkan saya tidak bersalah. Tetapi menurut pihak polis, surat itu tidak dikeluarkan kerana kes ini tidak dibawa ke mahkamah. Pihak polis juga memberitahu saya jika mana-mana pihak inginkan bukti pengesaan saya tidak bersalah, mereka bolehlah merujuk di Ibu Pejabat Polis Ampang Jaya," ujar Mohd yang dipetik daripada sebuah portal berita.

Dalam pada itu, menyedari kes tersebut telah menjejaskan reputasinya, Mohd meminta agar Zatul memohon maaf secara terbuka dalam tempoh tiga bulan.

"Tuduhan ini cukup memalukan saya dan keluarga. Kerjaya nyanyian saya terjejas teruk. Saya beri tiga bulan kepada dia (Zatul) tampil memohon maaf secara terbuka dan membuat perjelasan kepada media mengenai tuduhannya itu da saya mahu dia bersihkan nama saya. Sekiranya dia tidak berbuat demikian, saya akan berbincang dengan peguam saya untuk tindakan selanjutnya", tegas Mohd yang merupakan protege kepada Ziana Zain ini.

#PrayForMH370 Live Updates: Data shows plane was heading to Andaman Islands

UPDATE [6.00pm]: The press conference has just ended. Here are some key highlights:

• The authorities have investigated two oil slicks at the South China Sea two days ago. One oil slick has a tiny hint of jet fuel, but they can't confirm it belongs to MH370. No debris was found
• Acting Transport Minister, Hishammuddin Hussein, denied reports that MH370 kept flying after it lost contact, with Rolls Royce and Boeing confirming that they have not received any flight data.
• Authorities are still unable to confirm that the plane made a turn-back: "Though there is information, it’s not 100 per cent that it’s MH370. That has not changed.”
• The UK investigation team and representatives from Roll Royce will be arriving tonight to assist investigations.
• Authorities can't confirm if transponder was deliberately switched off: “There’s no confirmation on the signal. We are still investigating the possibility,” says Hishammuddin.
• Hishamuddin has continued to deny that the police have searched the houses of Malaysia Airlines crew.
• On extending their search area to the Indian Ocean, Hishamuddin said: "Together with our international partners, we are pushing further east into the South China Sea and further into the Indian Ocean."
• Hishamuddin also confirmed that they are working very closely with the U.S. team: "They indicated they were studying the possibility of satellite communication. Whatever they have and will share with us."

UPDATE [4.50pm]: Sources close to the ongoing investigation revealed that military radar-tracking evidence suggests that the missing jetliner was deliberately flown towards the Andaman Islands. Full story here.

UPDATE [5.05am]: US officials revealed that flight MH370 continued to "ping" a satellite for four hours after it dropped off of the radar. The officials stated that the number of pings would indicate how long the plane stayed aloft. Full story here.

A new search area may be opened in the Indian Ocean, says the White House. "We are consulting with international partners about the appropriate assets to deploy." Full story here.

UPDATE [1.30am]: U.S. officials have an "indication" that the missing jetliner may have crashed in the Indian Ocean. Naval ship USS Kidd was dispatched to the area to begin searching in the next 24 hours. Full story here.
