Cloud-seeding operations postponed indefinitely


PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Meteorological Department will postpone cloud-seeding operations indefinitely until the search and rescue mission for the missing MH370 jetliner is over.

The department’s atmospheric science and cloud-seeding division director Azhar Ishak said the exercise was supposed to begin last Sunday but was postponed because the aircraft usually used for the purpose – the RMAF’s C-130 Hercules – had been deployed to help in the search mission.
