KUALA LUMPUR: The authorities involved in the search and recovery of the missing MH370 aircraft, which has spanned more than 40 days, will regroup and consider the next course of action when the time comes.

Echoing the stand of Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said any course of action would not stop the search effort.
