KUALA LUMPUR, May 5 -- Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said Monday in Putrajaya that his country would continue to search for the missing MH370 flight which had been missing since March 8, according to Bernama, Malaysia's state news agency.

The country would carry on with the search for the missing aircraft with assistance of several other countries despite having nothing to show after 59 days, Najib said when addressing the monthly assembly of the Prime Minister's Department.

He dubbed the disappearance of the plane as unprecedented in the history of aviation as the aircraft's telecommunications system had been turned off and unused methods had been adopted in the search.

"Although we have yet to come up with results until now, the government is determined to continue with the search with the cooperation of friendly countries, particularly Australia which has shown extraordinary commitment to helping Malaysia find our aircraft," he said.
