KUALA LUMPU: The Government and two others have objected to the bid by 76 next-of-kin of the passengers of MH370 to obtain documents over the disappearance of the flight.

Describing it as a “fishing expedition”, Senior Federal Counsel Alice Loke Yee Ching, who acted for the Government, the director-general of the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) and the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF), argued that the contention that the family members lack information on the incident is baseless and without merit.
