MH370 relatives reliving their torment
Print Edition
RELATIVES of passengers on the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 said yesterday their torment had been awakened by the AirAsia loss in Indonesia, nine months into their nightmare.
“It is just like what happened nine months ago when I heard the news of MH370,” said Steven Wang, whose 57-year-old mother was on the flight.
“I can feel the desperation that the next of kin are suffering now. It is terrible. It is horrible,” he said.
Wang emerged as one of the most vociferous campaigners for answers on how MH370 went missing on March 8, one hour into a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
An unofficial leader of hundreds of Chinese relatives who packed into often rowdy meetings with airline officials in the weeks following the disappearance, Wang was a somber shadow of his former self after months of anguish.
“Most of the time now we are asking for information, but they say they have nothing,” he said.
Two-thirds of the 239 people on board the missing Boeing 777 were Chinese citizens.
A multi-national search failed to find any sign of wreckage.
Selamat Omar, whose son was on MH370, said the latest news on AirAsia would provide some solace to victims’ families.
“Now the victims’ families can console themselves and give the victims a proper burial. The families can now have closure and a peace of mind I am dying for.”
