GEORGE TOWN: The search for flight MH370 will continue in the southern Indian Ocean, despite fresh speculation that the plane could have been deliberately flown off-course towards Antarctica.

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai reiterated that the data they received from British satellite communications firm Inmarsat and the local air traffic control centre had suggested that the plane ended up in Indian Ocean.
