KUALA LUMPUR: Police said the report by a British tabloid that Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah had received a call from a phone number registered under a dubious identity just before he flew the MH370 plane on March 8 was a mere speculation.
Bukit Aman assistant chief of the Inspector-General of Police secretariat Asst Comm Datin Asmawati Ahmad also denied the claim in the report that the Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar, had classified the case of the missing jetliner as an act of terrorism, which also included hijacking and sabotage.
