SYDNEY: Malaysia's veteran ex-leader Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said Friday (March 23) that missing flight MH370 might have been taken over remotely in a bid to foil a hijack, reviving one of the many conspiracy theories surrounding its disappearance.

The Malaysia Airlines plane disappeared in March 2014 with 239 people - mostly from China - on board while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
