Our government still responsibility in searching the MH370 until today and more than RM200 million spent so far on search for MH370. We are glad to hear that our government  is willing to spend millions of ringgit to continue the search MH370, maybe some people do not mind about this mission in searching MH370, but who know if the families of passenger  MH370 are hopefully that this finding mission to the end. 

The government has spent RM231.4 million to date on the search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the ministry, however, is unable to record the total cost for the search operation, as search operations are ongoing. As for MH17, the government has spent RM12.87 million to deal with the tragedy. 

Based on the Montreal Convention 1999’s calculations. Malaysia Airlines had provided advance compensation payments and a crew assistance package totalling USD50,000 to family members as part of the compensation. At present, 236 and 74 families of the passengers of MH17 and MH370, respectively, received the compensation, which amounts to USD16.6 million.
