KLUANG: Acting Transport Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein has refuted a report which claimed that Fariq Abdul Hamid, the co-pilot of the MH370 aircraft, had made a telephone call when it was flying low near Penang.

He said by right, he should have been aware of it (the phone call) earlier, if the claim was true.
