Dewan Rakyat speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia today ruled that Deputy Defence Minister Abdul Rahim Bakri "did not confuse the House" by making an "assumption" that the Royal Malaysia Air Force (RMAF) has assumed that the MH370 turn back was ordered by the control tower.

Abdul Rahim on March 26 had said that the RMAF did not act to intercept the plane because it assumed the turn back was ordered by the control tower.
