Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) eastern region enforcement chief Nasir Adam said on Monday that test results showed that it was caused by bunkering activities and not from an aircraft.

On Sunday, MMEA's search team found an oil slick near Tok Bali, Kelantan state, but could not confirm whether it came from the missing plane.

Malaysia's Department of Civil Aviation chief, Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, told a news conference earlier that investigators were looking at "every angle" to explain the plane's disappearance early Saturday, including hijacking.
