SEPANG: It’s been a fruitless two weeks but the search for Flight MH370 will go on until the Boeing 777 is found – even beyond the 30-day life span of the batteries powering the locator beacons of its black box.

Acting Transport Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said the searchers would not lose spirit although they were not getting any closer to finding the aircraft.
