REVEALED: Malaysia has new radar data on Missing Malaysian Plane #MH370

Malaysian officials have confirmed they received 'some radar data' from other countries about the missing Flight MH370 today - but claimed they were 'not at liberty' to release the information.

Speaking at a press conference this afternoon, acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said Malaysia was continuing to co-ordinate the search for the missing Boeing 777-200ER.

He added: 'I can confirm that we have received some radar data, but we are not at liberty to release information from other countries.

'I appeal to all our partners to continue volunteering any and all information that could help with the investigation and the search for MH370.'

Distraught family members of the missing passengers were removed from the press conference.

Moments before officials spoke to the media, half a dozen furious relatives stormed the conference - blaming the Malaysian government of failing to work hard enough to find the plane.

The group had banners - most which which blamed the government of inaction - as airline officials desperately tried to resume order.
