Malaysia will release a preliminary report next week on the fate of MH370 which disappeared on March 8, with 239 passengers and crew on board, according to media reports.
Prime Minister Najib Razak made the revelation over accusations by family and friends of missing passengers that his government had not been transparent with the its investigation, and has been hiding the truth.

In an interview aired by CNN yesterday, the Malaysian PM said "I have directed an internal investigation team of experts to look at the report, and there is a likelihood that next week we could release the report".
On Wednesday, Malaysian officials confirmed that the report had already been sent to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), as they prepare to comply with regulatory requirement for countries to submit, within 30 days, whatever information is available as a full run-down, in the event of an air crash.
But it is no clear why it was sent first to the ICAO and speculators wonder whether it contains some embarrasing information.
According to AFP, the Department of Civil Aviation director Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said at the time no decision had been made on whether to publicly release the report. Could there indeed be something the public should not know?
"No, I don't think so," said the PM, adding "But I just want it to be -- this team to go through it. But in the name of transparency, we will release the report next week." he said.
