Indonesia has been alerted that wreckage from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 may wash up on the country's coastline.

Floating debris from the aircraft, which disappeared in March with 239 people on board, may have drifted west away from the coastline of Australia and towards Indonesia.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau, which is leading the search for the aircraft off the coast of Perth, said it had issued an alert to Indonesia requesting that authorities be told about any possible debris from the flight.
 
The bureau also said it continued to receive messages from members of the public who had found material washed up on the Australian coastline and thought it was debris from the missing Boeing 777.
 
 
In PERTH yesterday, Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said Malaysia is optimistic of finding missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 as the new search phase begins.
 
"I am 99.9% optimistic of finding the aircraft. If based on the technology that we are using and whether we are looking at the right place, then we are talking about 99.9% optimistic.

“However, that is not an answer that says we are definitely going to find it as the ocean is huge. The aircraft is minuscule compared to the vast ocean,” he told a press conference after launching the GO Phoenix Vessel (picture) and sophisticated underwater search equipment called the ProSAS towed side scan sonar at Freemantle Port.
Candidly speaking on the nasty comments about her work with the Permata early childhood programme and criticisms that she controlled her husband and that Najib feared her, she said the public should not "swallow whole" the online rumours that she described as "malicious".
