KUALA LUMPUR (China Daily) - The Malaysian government is expected to appoint an international panel on aviation security along with a parliament select committee to probe overall airline safety... an official said in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday (29 Mar 2014)...

"On the point of responsibility, I've indicated that not only the Malaysian air force is doing the panel of inquiry, the Ministry of Transport is coming up with an international panel, which is being formed at the moment.

"The Malaysian government is to decide whether it would have a parliamentary select committee or royal commission and I believe all our partners would like to see what we have discovered through this exercise," he said.

He pointed out that aviation industry stakeholders including Boeing, Rolls Royce, the FBI, Chinese agencies and the Air Accident Investigation Branch of the United Kingdom are involved in the search operations, which made the right platform to also discuss future security measures for the aviation industry.
