KUALA LUMPUR: The issue of the black box in the missing MH370 plane raised a storm in the Dewan Rakyat, with Opposition MPs demanding that a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) or a parliamentary select committee (PSC) be immediately formed.

This followed an announcement by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim that the Government would form either the RCI or PSC only after the black box is found.
