PETALING JAYA: Questions remain unanswered even though a decade has passed since Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 vanished, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The Prime Minister then said that there must be a balance between the search for MH370 and responsible spending of taxpayer money.
"We owe it to the people too," he said on his Facebook page on Wednesday (Dec 25).
"So, we say that at least we convince them if they find we pay, if they don’t find, we don’t pay. This is the position whether there is compelling case or evidence, I don’t believe there is,” said Anwar.
The search is not only for the families but also for the public, he added and said that the government will cooperate fully if the search succeeds and delivers results.
On Dec 20, Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced the Cabinet's agreement to resume the MH370 search.
Marine robotics company Ocean Infinity will join the search for MH370 again.
Ocean Infinity previously searched the Indian Ocean unsuccessfully from January to May 2018.
Before that, Malaysia, China, and Australia searched a 120,000sq km area without results.
Initially, a multinational search took place in the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea.
On March 8, 2014, the Boeing 777-200ER disappeared on its way to Beijing.
It departed from KLIA with 239 people on board.
