RTM radio channels, namely NasionalFM, TRAXXfm, AiFm and MINNALfm will also make coverages.

It also said RTM would have a grandstand before the remains arrived with various slots, including a special report on the MH17 tragedy and Malaysian diplomatic efforts to enable all the remains of the Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Malaysian passengers and crew to be brought back for burial.
“RTM will also try to broadcast updates from time to time on the process to bring back the remains with a cross-over from Amsterdam,” it added.
