PHU QUOC ISLAND, Vietnam, March 12 -- Searches stretching into the fifth day by Vietnamnese aircraft and vessels failed to uncover any clue to the fate of the missing Malaysia Airline jet, officials said on Wednesday.

Deputy commander of Vietnamese Navy Le Minh Thanh told reporters that the Vietnamese government was doing everything in their power to find clue to the whereabouts of the missing flight MH370, which seemingly vanished on Saturday.

"There has been no change in the search. Search parties continue to sweep the western shore off the Phu Quoc island and the eastern areas off the Vietnamese coast but no sign of debris or any other indication of the plane has been found," he said.

The search, which is now utilizing a civilian shipping vessel as well, will continue in much the same pattern on Wednesday, Thanh added.

The Vietnamese officials have assured the government will continue to deploy maximum resources within its capacity to find any trace of MH370.
