PUTRAJAYA: Former Transport Minister Anthony Loke pledges to highlight the plight of MH370 passengers' family members to his successor, and will push for the new government to approve a Cabinet paper to provide settlements for the next of kin.

"I promise that once the Cabinet is formed and we know who is the Transport Minister, I will personally see him and appeal for him to bring that paper to Cabinet.

Loke said that before the political upheaval that took place two weeks ago, he was supposed to present a paper to the Cabinet on Feb 26 on the settlement for MH370 families. "That paper was the result of more than a year of discussion and negotiations with the lawyers of the next of kin, and all lawyers representing the families have agreed to a global sum of settlement, to settle the cases out of court," he said.

"I have met former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who has agreed, so I thought that when I went to Cabinet, it was just a matter of endorsement and I could make an announcement a few days later.
