"We will take the necessary steps to investigate," said Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar at a press conference today.
MH192 had to turn back to Kuala Lumpur, following damage to its landing gear and landed safely at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Sepang.
Initially the question was posed to Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who was also present at the press conference at the Police Academy International Association Conference, but he asked Khalid to respond.
Acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein has asked the police to investigate whether there are elements of sabotage, as there are many incidents lately involving the national carrier.
Hishamuddin said such incidents like the MH192's turn-back and emergency landing at KLIA last night should not have happened.
The minister said MAS would be tabling a report on the incident to the cabinet in two days, and said he was proud of the pilots and crew members who kept the passengers informed and calm.
The affected passengers will board another MAS flight to transport them to Bangalore at about 3.30pm today.
Meanwhile, Khalid also confirmed that the victims abducted by armed terrorist in Semporna, Sabah are still safe.
"The victims are safe and we are investigating and getting cooperation from China and the Philippines," he said.
He was asked over developments on the kidnap that happened on April 3 at the Singamata resort that saw one Chinese tourist and a Philippine resort worker abducted.
