MH370: Transcript shows no signs of abnormal activities - Hishammuddin

The missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 aircraft transcript with air traffic controllers showed no signs of abnormality.

Acting Transport Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said that the transcript is currently with the investigation team for further analysis.

"As is standard practise in the investigation of this sort, the transcript cannot be released to the public at this stage. I can however confirm that the transcript does not indicate anything abnormal," Hishammuddin said at a press conference at Sama Sama Hotel in Sepang on Saturday.

Based on a report by The Telegraph, which published the communication transcript between the airliner and the air traffic controllers during the last 54 minutes of contact, DCA director-general Datuk Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said the report is "not accurate."

When questioned by reporters on the transcript to comment on The Telegraph report, Azharuddin reiterated once again, "It is not accurate."

Earlier, the British daily published the transcript which began from 00.36 to the last words of co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid, 27: “All right, good night”. It also included exchanges from a point where authorities believe the plane was already sabotaged.
