As reported (and the source seems to be
MISSING MH370: Pilot: I established contact with plane - General - New Straits Times on 9 March):
Based on the timing, the reported destination (NRT), the statement that the aircraft was a 777 and was "far into Vietnamese airspace when he was asked to relay" and the fact that the pilot knew enough to recognise the voices on MH 370, the relevant flight would appear to be MAS 88, KUL-NRT, a 772, scheduled dep 23:35, which was near Da Nang at that time.
So: what is the source and status of this "fact"? I haven't been able to find anything "official" (for what that's worth), but it seems unlikely that the NST would print something like that if it were complete fiction.
I've posted on this report by NST 5 days ago:
Radio contact with MH88, but this alleged communication between MH370 and MH88 was never confirmed by other sources.
