Angry Relatives of Passengers of the Missing Jet Throw Their Frustrations to the Malaysian Govt

Beijing: Relatives of Chinese passengers aboard a missing Malaysia Airlines plane voiced fury Monday, accusing the Malaysian government of “talking nonsense” as Premier Li Keqiang backed their demand for more information.
Li in a phone call asked his Malaysian counterpart Najib Razak to provide more details about the missing flight “in a timely, accurate and comprehensive manner”, state news agency Xinhua reported.
Anguished relatives echoed his call.
“Only the Malaysia government knows the truth. They’ve been talking nonsense since the beginning,” said Wen Wancheng, following a meeting with airline officials in Beijing as the search entered its 10th day.
“You (Malaysia) hid the whereabouts from the beginning and after seven to eight days you discovered it? That was the best time to launch a rescue,” added the 63-year-old from the eastern province of Shandong, whose son was aboard the missing jet.
Another relative who left the meeting told AFP: “Of course there is no useful information for us, there never is.”
Malaysia also drew more scathing criticism from Chinese state media and social media users.
Najib on Saturday disclosed that the flight had been deliberately diverted, and that the plane flew for several hours after leaving its intended flight path.
