Malay ATC did. "Two search and rescue trained officers are on standby during every shift and they immediately opened the Aeronautical Rescue Co..ordination Centre or ARCC."

“The officers called the air force, which confirmed they had detected the plane on their military radar but it had diverted from its path." http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Natio...onnel-on-duty/
