Missing Malaysia plane: Search and rescue 'main focus'

Malaysia's acting transport minister, Hishammuddin Hussein, has said that search and rescue remains "the main focus" as they try to find a missing Malaysia Airlines jet.

Flight MH370 vanished from radar almost three days ago en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur, with 239 people on board.

Relatives of the missing passengers have been told to prepare for the worst and officials have not ruled out hijacking as a cause of the plane's disappearance.
