Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said on Wednesday that the time has come for Malaysia to stop the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, after a three-month search carried out by an America-based firm officially ended on Tuesday without making major progress.?
"We have not found any evidence yet, so we have to come to a stage where we cannot keep searching for something we really cannot find," Mahathir said at a press conference held after the weekly cabinet meeting.
He added that the new government will consider resuming the search if somebody can provide any information, but at the moment it must stop.
"We regret it very much, and we understand the feelings of the relatives, but we cannot keep on searching for this MH370 forever," he said.
