REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, KUALA LUMPUR - The last communication received from a Malaysia Airlines plane suggests everything was normal on board minutes before it went missing over the South China Sea, Malaysian authorities say.

According to the authorities quoted on BBC report, flight MH370 replied "All right, roger that" to a radio message from Malaysian air control.

The search has been widened to waters off both sides of the peninsula. Malaysia's air force chief has denied reports the plane was tracked to the Malacca Strait in the west. The China-bound plane went missing on Saturday with 239 people on board. China's foreign ministry said conflicting information about the plane's flight path was "pretty chaotic".
