Grieving relatives protest China asks Malaysia to release satellite data used to conclude MH370 crash
KEY IDEAS : 1. Relatives of passengers demanded answers on MH370 crash. 2.Malaysia's acting transport minister acknowledged that relatives want to see real proof. 3. Protesters marched to the Malaysian embassy in Beijing. WITH cries of "murderers", grief-stricken relatives of passengers on crashed flight MH370 marched to Malaysia's (馬來西亞) embassy in Beijing (北京), where scuffles broke out, and later angrily abused the ambassador, demanding answers about the doomed plane's demisein the southern Indian Ocean (印度洋). With Malaysian officials still unable to provide satisfactory explanations over its disappearance and coming under fire both at home and abroad, President Xi Jinping (習近平) will send a special envoy to Kuala Lumpur to consult with the government over the plane. Beijing also demanded Malaysia turn over satellite data used to conclude the flight crashed and that none of the 239 on board survived. At a press conference in Kuala Lumpur (吉隆坡), acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein gave a detailed technical explanation on why it is believed the flight crashed. But he acknowledged that relatives want to see what they consider real proof. The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 went missing on 8 March en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, dropping off air traffic control screens in what has become one of the biggest mysteries in aviationhistory. Ever since, relatives of more than 150 Chinese passengers on board have accused Malaysia of being deceitful and callous. Around 200 of them, some in tears, linked arms and shouted slogans as they marched to the embassy in Beijing denouncing the handling of the drama and demanding to see the ambassador, a day after Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak announced the plane had crashed in the ocean. Outside the embassy, amid a heavy police presence, marchers threw plastic water bottles, tried to rush the gate and chanted, "Liars!" Many wore white T-shirts that read "Let's pray for MH370" as they held banners and shouted, "Tell the truth! Return our relatives!" Another slogan said, "The Malaysian government are murderers." Police briefly scuffled with a group of relatives who tried to approach journalists. The protest ended after a few hours, when police told protesters to get on buses and escorted them away. The relatives delivered a written protest to the embassy before leaving. (Agencies, 25 March, 2014)
