Even CNN reporter Shubert commented that the press did not help the situation. In other words, in this particular instance, I don’t think the police was guided by the instruction (if there is one) of denying… Read more »

It was so sad seeing the woman wailed and screamed for his son…

On one hand they hope their loved ones are still out there but on the other hand their senses tell them how remote their chances are… This kind of first degree torment is indeed unbearable…

Can we trust Bernama?

What to expect when the country is run by a group of clowns ???

Affected familiy members in Beijing were unhappy that most of the MAS staff sent to Beijing could not converse in Mandarin. Wonder why special BN envoy to Beijing Ong Ka Ting did not step forward to face the grieving familes in Beijing?

You do not see such reporting on Astro Awani.
I prefer to watch the reporting on Phoenix Info News on Astro ch 332.

Bernama (feeding TV3 and Astro Awani) is meant for those who could only understand Bahasa Malaysia and cannot understand CNN, BBC, CCTV, CTI, Al Jazeera….

It is all over the BBC as well.
The victims families just want to talk to the press and medias.
And this is how the Barisan Nasional treated them.
Also clearly shown are male plainclothes cops removing a female by force.

The scene made me angry too. Not sure about the rest of you readers.
If the families want to meet the press and medias, arrange for it.
