Deputy premier Muhyiddin Yassin said there was ‘no deal’ involved in the agreement made with Alexander Borodai, the leader of the Russian separatists.
His remarks came in response to questions raised by several Opposition MPs in Parliament who wanted to know if the separatists had asked for anything in return.
‘It was done in a smart way by the Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak. He told me there were no other deals. There were only the three agreements we outlined,’ said Muhyiddin.
The three conditions were: the return of the remains of those who lost their lives, the handover of the black boxes and full access to the crash site so that the investigation may begin.
He said the Government had formed a special investigation team comprising representatives from the police, the Department of Civil Aviation and other relevant agencies, adding that every effort would be taken to ensure the responsible parties are brought to justice.
