Putrajaya: Chinese relatives of MH370 passengers gathered outside the Malaysian prime minister’s office today to demand his government rescind its declaration that all on board the plane were presumed dead.
“We want an explanation from (Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak). And we want him to cancel the declaration that the incident was an accident,” said Kelly Wen, a Chinese national whose husband was on the Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight.
Malaysian authorities last month declared the plane’s unexplained disappearance an “accident” under global aviation conventions, saying for the first time that all 239 passengers and crew were presumed dead.
That set off howls of protest from next of kin in Malaysia and China, many of whom have sharply criticised the airline and Malaysian government over the plane’s disappearance.
A group of 21 relatives from China, where criticism from families has been especially intense, came to Malaysia last week to demand the declaration be cancelled and press for information on the plane’s fate.
