ANGRY CHINESE FAMILIES DEMAND TRUTH OVER MISSING JETLINER MH370

Kuala Lumpur, 30 Jumadil Awwal 1435/31 March 2014 (MINA) – Dozens of anguished Chinese relatives have demanded Malaysian authorities to provide them with evidence on the fate of their loved ones aboard the missing Flight 370.

Speaking at a press conference at Kuala Lumpur on Sunday, Jiang Hui, the families’ designated representative asked senior Malaysian officials to apologize for releasing confusing information.

Jiang also denounced the authorities for announcing that the ill-fated plane had crashed even though there was no “direct evidence,” Press TV quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.

“We want evidence, we want truth and we want our family,” Jiang said, adding, “First, the Malaysian side should provide us with timely and comprehensive evidence and answer the families’ questions.”

This comes as the relatives of Chinese passengers from the missing plane are in Kuala Lumpur seeking answers from authorities.

The Chinese relatives are complaining that they have not been given enough information on the fate of their loved ones. Flight MH370 had over 150 Chinese passengers onboard.

The families are now accusing the Malaysian authorities of withholding information about what happened to the plane. They are demanding to meet with Malaysia’s Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein face to face.

Meanwhile, an intense search for debris from the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 is underway 1,800 kilometers (1,118 miles) west of Perth, Australia.

Planes and ships involved in Malaysia jet search have confirmed that the international effort had not found any objects linked to the missing plane.

Now with every day passing, the suspicion deepens over the March 8 disappearance of the plane destined for China with 239 people onboard. (T/E01/IR)
