The Malaysian Government established a Joint Investigation Team[1] including experts from other countries and Malaysia continued to be involved in the surface search for MH370, west of Malaysia in the Andaman Sea then in the Indian Ocean when the 'southern corridor' was defined, and later in the southern Indian Ocean.
The Malaysian Government entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the governments of the People's Republic of China and Australia, forming a Tripartite and a cost sharing arrangement. Malaysia contributed 58% of the cost of the underwater search and, in addition, directly funded the cost of the vessel Go Phoenix[2].
The Royal Malaysian Police commenced a criminal investigation into the loss of flight MH370.
The Department of Transport (Malaysia) instituted an independent international Investigation Team known as The Malaysian ICAO Annex 13 Safety Investigation Team for MH370.
Several of the most significant announcements related to flight MH370, such as the news that flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean were made by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Razak. Malaysian citizens across all levels of society and government have been affected by the loss of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
