ASSIGNMENT
Discuss the below:
The Malaysia Airlines MH370 plane, that was missing for 18 days, has gone down in the southern Indian Ocean at a remote location west of Perth. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said this conclusion was based on new analysis by satellite company Inmarsat and the UK Air Accidents Investi¬gation Branch (AAIB) on the satellite data provided. "Using a type of analysis never before used in an investigation of this sort, they have been able to shed more light on MH370's flight path. Based on their new analysis, Inmarsat and the AAIB have concluded that MH370 flew along the southern corridor and that its last position was in the middle of the Indian Ocean west of Perth. This is a remote location far from any possible landing sites, It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that according to this new data, flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean."

Pesawat Malaysia Airlines MH370, yang hilang selama 18 hari, telah jatuh di Lautan Hindi selatan di lokasi terpencil barat Perth. Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak berkata, kesimpulan ini adalah berdasarkan kepada analisis baru data satelit oleh syarikat satelit Inmarsat dan AAIB. "Dengan menggunakan analisis yang belum pernah digunakan dalam sesuatu penyiasatan seumpama ini, mereka telah dapat menumpukan lebih banyak maklumat pada laluan penerbangan MH370 itu. Berdasarkan kepada analisis baru mereka, Inmarsat dan AAIB telah menyimpulkan bahawa MH370 terbang melalui koridor selatan dan kedudukan terakhirnya adalah di tengah-tengah Lautan Hindi, di barat Perth. Ini merupakan lokasi yang terpencil, jauh dari sebarang lokasi pendaratan. Justeru itu, dengan perasaan sedih dan kesal yang amat sangat, saya perlu memaklumkan anda bahawa menurut data baharu ini, penerbangan MH370 berakhir di selatan Lautan Hindi. "
