Malaysia to discuss forming international panel on missing plane investigation

Malaysian acting Transport Minister Hishammudin Hussein said here Wednesday that the Malaysian cabinet would discuss forming an international expert panel to look into the missing flight MH370 incident.

He said the cabinet would discuss the issue to show the world that Malaysia had nothing to hide.

"We are forming a panel of inquiry consisting of experts from around the world ... who are respected, credible and who will make decisions and investigate without fear or favor," he added.

He also said Malaysia had sent another auxiliary vessel, Bunga Mas 6 to the waters off Perth, Australia, to assist in the search efforts.
