The piece of debris found off the Mozambique coast recently is in the custody of Malaysian authorities.
Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the authorities will soon verify if it is a part of the missing Flight MH370.
"We will verify the object as soon as possible. We will work together with Australia to identify it," he told reporters at the Parliament lobby today.
Meanwhile, Liow said they are still awaiting France's decision on whether to allow another piece of debris found on Reunion Island two days ago to be released to the authorities here.

"We are waiting for a judge in France to decide. Since the object was found in France's territory, we have to follow their law," he said.
Liow added that the decision will be made in two days.
Last Thursday, Johnny Begue, who found the second aircraft debris on Reunion Island, handed over the object to the police on the same day.
Begue, a resident of the island, was also the same person who found the flaperon part of MH370 last July.
He said he was out jogging by the sea shore when he found the new object measuring about 40x20cm (15x8 inches), which had a blue mark on the surface and was grey underneath.
Begue said it was of the same lightweight "honeycomb" construction as the flaperon piece.
The flaperon he found remains the only piece of debris identified with certainty as having come from the flight.
Begue's reported find came three days after an American man found suspected MH370 debris in Mozambique, some 2,100km west of Reunion Island.
That object, which is about a metre-long, was earlier sent to Australia for expert analysis.
MH370 was carrying 239 passengers and crew when it vanished on March 8, 2014, on an overnight flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
