PETALING JAYA: It was a technical issue that delayed Defence Minister Mohamad Sabu's flight to London, which later caused him to miss a meeting with Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad there. Mohamad had boarded flight MH002 from Kuala Lumpur on June 15 and was supposed to arrive in London at 5.55am the next day. However, the delay caused the flight to arrive at 8.26am. It stated that Mohamad had an important meeting with Dr Mahathir, who was in the UK on a working visit, but missed it because of the flight delay. "The Minister was on his way to France but had dropped by London to meet with Dr Mahathir," it said.
