KUALA LUMPUR -- The search for missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 is to remain in the southern corridor despite the failure to locate the aircraft's black box in the southern Indian Ocean.

Acting transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein said although the search area would be re-evaluated, the hunt was still going to be in the southern Indian Ocean.

“The issue of it being in the southern corridor was never disputed but the question is where. We will rely on the expertise of all those involved to figure out a new search area,” he told reporters after a meeting with four of the ministerial committees set up to handle the crisis here Wednesday.

Last week, the authorities had said that the pings previously picked up by search vessels did not belong to the aircraft's black box and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau had discounted the vicinity as the location of the plane.

Hishammuddin said at least six private companies, including Petronas, Boustead and Deftech, had entered into an open tender to help search for the plane.

On a statement by a British sailor that she saw a plane on fire flying overhead while she was crossing the Indian Ocean in March, Hishammuddin said that all claims would be looked into.

“However, I wish to remind everyone that of all the numerous claims we have received, so far nothing has been proven,” he said.

Sunflowers launch group

Key figures in the Sunflower movement are launching an organization called “Taiwan March” (島國前進), which they say will work to amend the Referendum Act (公民投票法) and serve as a motivating force to improve civil society.

Three pre-eminent leaders of the student-led movement — National Taiwan University graduate student Lin Fei-fan (林飛帆), National Tsing Hua University graduate student Chen Wei-ting (陳為廷) and Huang Kuo-chang (黃國昌), associate researcher at Academia Sinica — are among the initiators for “Taiwan March.”

Others include academics Frida Tsai (蔡培慧) and Chen Hui-min (陳惠敏), along with graduate students Chou Fu-i (周馥儀), Oliver Chen (陳瑞光) and Lin Liang-chun (林亮君).

Lin and Chen Wei-ting are slated to hold a press conference this morning to formally announce the organization.

The working focus of “Taiwan March” is to scrutinize the cross-strait service trade pact in the legislature and the oversight bill to monitor the pact and future cross-strait agreements, as well to effect changes to the Referendum Act, in order to achieve direct “rule by the people” and democratic rights of citizens.

In response to media inquiries about the possibility of them starting a new political party, Chen Wei-ting yesterday said there current is no such plan.
