Emotions were running high among the family members of the Chinese passengers on board MH370 as they marched to the Malaysian Embassy in Beijing to demand answers.

Already our hospitality sector is counting the loss from the canceled trips from the tourists from China in Visit Malaysia Year 2014. If only our government could be more transparent… Sigh!
Some analysts are projecting losses of up to RM4 billion in earnings from China because of the manner the government has handled the press conferences for MH370. Definitely Visit Malaysia Year 2014 has taken a body blow. Palm oil exports may be badly hit if China switches entirely to Indonesia as their main source.
I don’t think we can use ‘Malaysia Boleh’ for a while either.
CNN cannot be believed, according to some readers in this blog.

The truth is out there, and Najib is so afraid to confront it?
According to a Hong Kong TV report on Phoenix Info News, the chinese want to know exactly what happened between 1.30am and 8.15am on the fateful day as they suspect the Malaysian authority is concealing the truth i.e. the plance has been taken hostage (possibly the pilot?) and it is politically-linked.

There are more than a thousand rescue personnel and navy boys out there rushing and putting their lives on this mission. Our Malaysian prime minister doused out their hope and dedication with a mere… Read more »
If you believe in the conspiracy theories floating around internet, then Najib has done a great job in (allegedly) hiding the truth to the world. Unprecedented!
People from all races and social classes whom I have met since the PM’s announcement are not convinced that MH370 has crashed at all. The government has lost credibility and unless there is concrete physical evidence to prove a crash did take place, many people believe the plane may still be intact and held somewhere for some future use. They fear the worst for the passengers and crew, however.
Our First Lady Rosmah and Mrs Liow Tiong Lai should join the high level team to Beijing to console the families of the victims.
Might as well bring along some kueh mueh for them to eat.
The families are in grief and I hope the opposition do not use this to stoke fear and hatred for their political mileage. Like Najib and Hisham said, this is above politics.
