“We are still waiting for the investigation report from the Air Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB). Only after that will we consider the next step,” Hussein said, according to Berita Harian.
The AAIB’s findings would be disclosed to the public as soon as possible, according to transport minister Loke Siew Fook.
