The payout, via consent judgment, would be given to the family members of Tan Ah Meng and Cindy Chuang, The Vibes reported.

The consent judgment stated that payment would be made without admission of liability and was intended to be a conclusion to the suit.

According to court filings, Chuang and Tan’s children, Tan Wei Hong and his underaged siblings were the plaintiffs in a suit against Malaysia Airlines System Bhd, Malaysia Airlines Bhd, the CAAM director and the Malaysian government.

Tan’s parents, Tan Hun Khong and Lai Chew Lai were also named plaintiffs as well as Chuang’s Taiwanese mother, Chuang Hung Chien.

In 2015, a statement of claim filed by the plaintiffs argued that the negligence of the defendants caused them losses.

“The plaintiffs, as dependents to the deceased, have experienced loss whereby they no longer received financial and non-financial benefits they are entitled to have if the deceased were alive.

“The plaintiffs also pleaded that they were dependent wholly on Cindy Chuang and Tan Ah Meng,” reads the statement of claim.

It also sought an open, unequivocal and unreserved apology from the defendants, as well as payment for loss of support, among other things.

The Malaysia Airlines flight carrying 239 people vanished some 40 minutes after leaving Kuala Lumpur for Beijing on March 8, 2014.

One of the greatest mysteries in aviation, MH370 has yet to be found despite the longest and most expensive search mission in history.

Although a few fragments reportedly from the jet have been found on western Indian Ocean shores, search efforts for MH370 officially ended in 2018.
