A Malaysia Airlines Boeing 737-800, registration 9M-MXR performing flight MH-2742 from Kuala Lumpur to Bintulu (Malaysia), was enroute at FL350 nearing the top of descent when the crew initiated an emergency descent to FL100 due to the loss of cabin pressure. The aircraft continued to Bintulu for a safe landing on runway 17 about 30 minutes after leaving FL350.

The return flight was cancelled.

A passenger reported the passenger oxygen masks were deployed.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Bintulu about 14.5 hours after landing.
