    5 April 2014 MH370 PRESS BRIEFING BY HISHAMMUDDIN HUSSEIN, MINISTER OF DEFENCE AND ACTING MINISTER OF TRANSPORT 1. Introduction It’s been almost a month since MH370 went missing. The search operation has been difficult, challenging and complex. In spite of all this, our determination remains undiminished. We will continue the search with the same level of vigour and intensity. We owe this to the families of those on board, and to the wider world. We will continue to focus, with all our efforts, on finding the aircraft. 2. Investigation into MH370 As per the requirements set out by the ICAO in Annex 13 of the International Standards and Recommended Practices, Malaysia will continue to lead the investigation into MH370. As per the ICAO standards, Malaysia will also appoint an independent ‘Investigator In Charge’ to lead an investigation team. The investigation team will include three groups: an airworthiness group, to look at issues such as maintenance records, structures and systems; an operations group, to examine things such as flight recorders, operations and meteorology; and a medical and human factors group, to investigate issues such as psychology, pathology and survival factors. The investigation team will also include accredited countries. Malaysia has already asked Australia to be accredited to the investigation team, and they have accepted. We will also include China, the United States, the United Kingdom and France as accredited representatives to the investigation team, along with other countries that we feel are in a position to help. 3. Formation of committees In addition to the new investigation team mentioned above, the Government - in order to streamline and strengthen our on-going efforts - has established three ministerial committees.

    MIC’s loss is MCA’s gain after Najib’s Cabinet reshuffle The Malaysian Insider July 28, 2015 The Cabinet reshuffle today gave the MCA an additional ministerial post but MIC lost one. The MCA also got another deputy minister post. MCA secretary-general Datuk Seri Ong Ka Chuan was appointed second International Trade and Industry Minister while Youth chief Chong Sin Woon was made Deputy Education Minister. Prior to this appointment, Ong, who is the Member of Parliament for Tanjung Malim, had served a stint as the Housing and Local Governments Minister from March 2008 to April 2009 during Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's administration. Former MIC president Datuk Seri G. Palanivel was dropped, leaving acting MIC president Datuk Seri S. Subramainiam the sole MIC representative in the new Cabinet line-up. With the latest line-up, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's administration now has three full ministers and three deputy ministers from MCA. They are party president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai (Transport Minister) and deputy president Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong (Minister in the Prime Minister's Department), and Ong. The other two deputy ministers from MCA,besides Chong,are deputy finance minister Datuk Chua Tee Yong and deputy International Trade and Industry minister Datuk Lee Chee Leong. – Bernama, July 28, 2015.

    MRT Project Needed to Cater for Population Increase Malaysiakini.Com Disember 22, 2010

    MRT project needed to cater for population increase Malaysiakini.com Disember 22, 2010 The MRT and high-speed train projects for the Klang Valley must be implemented now to cater for the population increase each year. Deputy Transport Minister Abdul Rahim Bakri said if not now, the government would still have to do it eventually as the existing public transport system would not be able to cope with the rapid population increase. "Our roads have become increasingly congested as each year almost a million new vehicles are registered, resulting in many public complaints on congestion and discomfort. "That is why this public transport system upgrading initiative is very important, particularly for Greater KL as this area alone has more than five million residents," he said when winding up the debate on the Supply Bill 2011 for his ministry in the Dewan Negara today. The MRT, the biggest infrastructure project in Malaysia, is an entry point project for the National Key Result Area (NKRA)-Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley under the Economic Transformation Programme. The project is expected to start in July next year and will take five to six years to complete, with the first route linking Sungai Buloh and Kajang via the city centre. Abdul Rahim said if the government delayed in providing a suitable, modern public transport system, the cost would go up in future and be a bigger financial loss for the country. "We cannot delay this project as other countries in the region like Singapore with its MRT system, and China, its high-speed trains, are advanced in this field." He said the public must think positively about the project aimed at further improving the public transport system which would not only benefit the local population but foreigh tourists as well.
