As the search and rescue (SAR) mission for MH370 aircraft enters
its 10th day, Malaysians continue to pray endlessly, asking God for the safety
of the crew and passengers on board.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Joseph Kurup
said prayers organised by various religious bodies demonstrated the unity among
Malaysians when facing a common problem.
"It is heartening to see all Malaysians unite and be together
in prayers to ensure the safety of their family, relatives and friends of
MH370," Kurup told the media at the 'Pray for the Missing Flight - MH370'
prayer service organised by the Malaysian Christian Youth Association (MYCA)
and Uniti, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) here, today.
Kurup also advised the public to obtain first-hand information
from the authorities so as not to confuse the families and loved ones of
passengers and crew of MH370.
"Fabricating stories and speculation will only weaken us, so
I urge everyone to have the confidence in our government which is trying very
best to overcome this crisis. Be patient and give your full moral support to
the authorities," he said.
The prayer service, joined by more than 100 Christians, also saw
Kurup launching Uniti's 'Tie A Blue Ribbon for MH370' campaign that prints the
word 'Pray for MH370 crew, passengers and families'.
Uniti's coordinator Jason Leong said the blue ribbon, to be
distributed at selected locations in the Klang Valley, was a symbol of its
support, hope and
a reminder for all Malaysians o pray for MH370.
