MH370 : PM Sahkan Serpihan Ditemui Dari Pesawat Malaysia Yang Hilang!!!

Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak mengesahkan serpihan pesawat yang ditemui di Pulau Reunion di timur Lautan Hindi minggu lalu milik pesawat Penerbangan Malaysia (MAS) MH370.

Mengumumkan perkara itu kira-kira jam 2 pagi ini, Najib menyatakan siasatan pakar antarabangsa mengesahkan serpihan terbabit adalah sebahagian pesawat milik MH370 selepas 515 hari kehilangannya.

“Penemuan ini menunjukkan terdapatnya bukti fizikal pesawat MH370 terhempas di kawasan terbabit.

“Saya turut menyampaikan dukacita kepada keluarga penumpang dan anak kapal pesawat MH370 walaupun maklumat ini agak menyedihkan. Kehilangan mereka akan terus diingati,” katanya dalam sidang media khas MH370, di Pusat Dagangan Dunia Putra (PWTC), di sini.

Najib turut mengucapkan ucapan terima kasih kepada negara, organisasi dan orang perseorangan yang banyak membantu sepanjang usaha operasi mencari dan menyelamat (SAR) MH370.

Pengesahan itu hasil analisis sekumpulan pakar dari Malaysia, Perancis dan Australia, termasuk wakil dari Boeing dan China.

Kumpulan pakar itu melakukan pemeriksaan terhadap serpihan sayap pesawat di makmal DGA Technique Aeronautique di Balma, dekat Toulouse, Perancis.

Pulau Reunion menjadi tumpuan dunia apabila komponen sayap pesawat, flaperon, ditemui di pesisir pantai pulau itu pada 29 Julai lalu.

Pulau milik Perancis itu terletak di luar pantai Madagascar, kira-kira 4,000 kilometer (km) dari tempat usaha mencari pesawat MH370 dijalankan.

Pada 31 Julai lalu, Timbalan Menteri Pengangkutan, Datuk Abdul Aziz Kaprawi, mengesahkan flaperon yang ditemui antara komponen pesawat Boeing 777.

Pesawat Boeing 777 MH370 yang membawa 12 anak kapal serta 227 penumpang, termasuk dua bayi, hilang dari radar ketika dalam penerbangan dari Kuala Lumpur ke Beijing, kira-kira sejam setelah berlepas dari Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur (KLIA) pada 8 Mac tahun lalu.

Pada 29 Januari lalu, Jabatan Penerbangan Awam Malaysia mengumumkan kehilangan pesawat itu adalah satu kemalangan mengikut peraturan penerbangan antarabangsa dan semua 239 penumpang serta anak kapal di dalamnya dianggap meninggal dunia.

PRIME MINISTER NAJIB RAZAK STATEMENT ON MH370

On 8 March 2014, flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing disappeared. The days, weeks and months that followed have been a period of torment for the families of those on board.

The plane’s disappearance was without precedent. At every stage, we followed the tiny amount of evidence that existed. But, despite the efforts of 26 nations and the largest search in aviation history, from the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean, the plane could not be located.

Neither could investigations by the world’s leading aviation experts answer why MH370 veered off course and went dark. While the plane’s disappearance remained a mystery, we have shared the anguish of those who could find no comfort.

Last week, on 29th July, we were informed by the French authorities that part of an aircraft wing had been found on Reunion, the French island in the Indian Ocean.

Today, 515 days since the plane disappeared, it is with a heavy heart that I must tell you that an international team of experts have conclusively confirmed that the aircraft debris found on Reunion Island is indeed from MH370.

We now have physical evidence that, as I announced on 24th March last year, flight MH370 tragically ended in the southern Indian Ocean.

This is a remote, inhospitable and dangerous area, and on behalf of Malaysia I would like to thank the many nations, organisations and individuals who have participated in the search.

The burden and uncertainty faced by the families during this time has been unspeakable. It is my hope that this confirmation, however tragic and painful, will at least bring certainty to the families and loved ones of the 239 people onboard MH370. They have our deepest sympathy and prayers.

I would like to assure all those affected by this tragedy that the government of Malaysia is committed to do everything within our means to find out the truth of what happened. MH370’s disappearance marked us as a nation. We mourn with you, as a nation.

And I promise you this: Malaysia will always remember and honour those who were lost onboard MH370.
