Missing MH370: Hisham dismisses allegations that search efforts mired in confusion


KUALA LUMPUR: Transport Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein denied allegations that the hunt for a missing jet was in disarray, after the search veered far from its planned route and several countries were reported to be angry over the “mishandling” of the operation.

Vietnam, whose southern coast had been the focus of the recovery effort, initially suspended its air and sea search as it waited for Malaysia to clarify the new direction of the hunt.
