Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak wants changes to be made to improve the global aviation system.

In his speech at the United Nations General Assembly, Najib hoped that the new standard of aircraft detection and flight path in conflict zones would be supported by all countries.

He added that the tragedy which befell Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370 and MH17 will be remembered forever.

“MH370 and MH17 were tragedies that will remain with us forever. As we mourn the loss of life , we take heart with the compassion shown by our friends. Your support will not be forgotten,” said Najib in New York.

In his speech Najib expressed his appreciation to all who had extended their help following both the tragedies.

He also added that Malaysia will continue seeking justice for the victims of flight MH17 and will not lose hope of finding MH370.

MH370 went missing during its flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8 while MH17 was believed to have been shot down in Donetsk, east Ukraine during its flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur on July 17.
