Minister deflects probe queries despite grilling

Acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein today took a grilling from the international press as Malaysian authorities continue to be tight-lipped about details of investigations 24 days after Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 went missing.

However, Hishammuddin, who is also defence minister, refused to shed light on the authenticity of various leaked information on the Internet and instead said he will be answerable to various inquiries that will be set up in future.
