The statement said there was nothing to immediately suspect sabotage from the plane as it departed and its movements remained in line with expectations.
"The international investigations team and the Malaysian authorities remain of the opinion that, up until the point at which it left military primary radar coverage, MH370's movements were consistent with deliberate action by someone on the plane." the statement they said
And the government said they still believe there might be survivors and have not given up as confirmed by Malaysia's Acting Transport Minister Hishamuddin Hussein on Monday, Xinhua said.
"However Hishamuddin did assure the media that if investigators give approval more information would be released." Xinhua said.
