The local boy and a few of his friends allegedly found the crashed aircraft last month on Sunbay Island in Tawi Tawi. The group, in addition to finding a Malaysian flag, also claims to have found the skeletal remains of the pilot.

Jamil Omar, the teen’s uncle, who works as an audiovisual technician, filed a report about the discovery with the Sandakan police.

“The residents on the island hunt birds for food and build their houses on the water. They don’t watch television and as such they have no knowledge of the outside world,” Mr Omar told Astro Awani. “She (Siti Kayam, his aunt) was shocked to learn that the item, that was removed from the aircraft wreckage as claimed by the teenager, was the Malaysian flag.”

Though no pictures were taken of the alleged wreckage and the considerable distance away this new site is from that of past wreckage discoveries, authorities are taking the report seriously.

“There was no photograph to support the claim so we are relying on our counterpart to check,” Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar, told reporter on Sunday said. In the meantime, police in Malaysia and in the Philippines are investigating the boys’ claims.
