The Malaysian government needed to conduct a briefing session to
explain the evidence that Flight MN370 ended in the Indian Ocean to family
members of the passengers, especially from China.
The request was voiced out by about 30 family members of the
passengers, who arrived from China today.
They also hoped that the briefing could be held as soon as
possible with the help of the Chinese embassy in Malaysia to explain the
matter.
A representative from the family members of the passengers, who
wished to be known only as Jiang Hui, said various briefings and explanation
had been conducted in China but they were still unclear and wanted fully
furnished data, particularly from the experts.
"In the 22 days of waiting, the answers we get from the
Malaysia Airlines (MAS) are limited. Everything has to be referred to the
Malaysian government first before any statement is given to us.
"Because of that we made the decision to come to Malaysia to
get more information on the incident, especially from the airline experts like
Rolls Royce and Boeing company as well as from the Malaysian government and
MAS," he told reporters here.
Speaking in Mandarin, he said the passengers' family members also
requested that the Malaysian government apologise for the delay in the
dissemination of information on the missing plane.
Jiang said they hoped the Malaysian government could show
sincerity in assisting them, in terms of providing authentic information.
"We will not leave Malaysia until we are satisfied with the
explanation on the plane," he said.
It is understood that the group, received by Prime Minister's
Special Envoy to China Tan Sri Ong Ka Ting, MCA Vice-President Datin Paduka
Chew Mei Fun and about 40 members of MCA's Crisis Relief Squad upon arrival
early today, was being accomodated at the Holiday Villa Subang.
Flight MH370, which was carrying 227 passengers, including 152
Chinese nationals, and 12 crew, disappeared from the radars on March 8, about
an hour after departing from the KL International Airport at 12.41 am. The
plane was scheduled to arrive at Beijing at 6.30 am on the same day.
On March 24, 17 days after its disappearance, Prime Minister Datuk
Seri Najib Tun Razak announced that Flight MH370 "ended in the southern
Indian Ocean."

Ceritalah walau macam mana pun, orang China ni tak akan puas hati. Tak pernah ada istilah puas hati dalam hidup dema. Jauh sekali faham apa itu qadha dan qadar.
Kalau Hisham cakap semua maklumat dah diserah pada Kerajaan China, kenapa tak mintak dema saja explain. Gerenti faham dari kepala hingga ke ekor.
Sekarang kita boleh tengok perangai sebenar bangsa China (dan keturunan dema kat sini), memang tak bertamaddun walaupun punya sejarah beribu tahun. Jangan sekali2 mereka ini dipercayai bulat2. Sentiasa harus waspada setiap masa.
