Chinese Families Demand 'Return' of Those on Missing Jet
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Relatives of Chinese passengers on missing Flight 370 unfurled banners, chanted in protest and demanded the return of loved ones during a press briefing on Sunday.
"We want evidence and we want our families back," said one banner held aloft by some 35 newly arrived family members in a hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
Another banner read: "Relatives of MH370 strongly condemn the Malaysian government's delay of rescue time. They announced that the plane crashed into the Southern Indian Ocean based on just speculation. They trampled on innocent lives. We want the truth ... Tell the truth to the world.”
Steve Wang, a representative of some of the Chinese families, told Reuters that relatives were unhappy with responses the Malaysian government had provided in Beijing.
"We have demanded that we meet with the prime minister and the transportation minister," Reuters quoted Wang Chunjiang, whose younger brother was on Flight 370, as saying. "We have questions that we would like to ask them in person."
More than 150 of the 239 aboard when Malaysia Airlines MH370 went missing on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing were Chinese, and there has been deep anger and dissatisfaction at the Malaysian response to the disaster.

I think the government should explain the event immediately and try to calm the family members of the passengers.
回覆刪除It's absolutely hard for the passengers' family to accept the truth,but the mysterious misery was not expected. I think what matters most is to find out the reason why the plane was gone and take action to practice the flight safety mechanism.
回覆刪除The government should give those people who lose their loved ones an explanation and try to deal with this tragedy in an effective way.
回覆刪除People were very sad about the dead of their family. Government should try their best to give truth to them and solve the problem.
