Officials engaged in searching for the remains of the missing Malaysia Airline Flight MH 370 Boeing close to the Australian shores have asserted that though they have been continuously receiving reports of the plane's debris in Australia; it is more likely that the aircraft's wreckage might have drifted west towards Indonesia.

Quoting deputy Transport Ministry secretary-general Datuk Ruhaizah Mohamed Rashid, The Star reports that Indonesia has yet to confirm if they have located any debris from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

Talking to reporters after attending a briefing for the media on the current status of the search for Flight MH370 in Putrajaya, she said, "We have not received any information from there, and if there is, the Indonesian authorities will get in touch with the Malaysian authorities."

The Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC) chief coordinator Judith Zielke and Australian Transport Safety Bureau spokesman Peter Forley briefed the officials on the issue.

According to Ruhaizah, if any debris/wreckage believed to be from the plane was found, it would first be sent to Australia to be photographed and subsequently dispatched to Boeing for authentication. She said that they hoped that the ongoing search, which is more focused now, would produce positive results.

It may be recalled that Flight MH370 slipped from radar on March 8 while it was flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board.

Although, various parties have undertaken extensive searches for the Boeing 777 aircraft in the Indian Ocean since it disappeared mysteriously, there is no clue as to what could have happened to the ill-fated aircraft and its passengers.

Currently, the search is focused on an area where the aircraft is believed to have gone down.
