PHU QUOC: Standing before a bust of Ho Chi Minh and holding a microphone gingerly, Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation vice-director general Doan Huu Gia rattled off on Thursday what the waiting group of journalists at Phu Quoc island already knew: It could not find any traces of Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370 that went missing on Saturday.
Asked to comment about a report that suggested the plane had flown past the South China Sea where Vietnamese forces had been combing through, he said: “You should ask Malaysia.”
