KUALA LUMPUR: As the search for the wreckage of the crashed Malaysian jet in the Indian Ocean failed to yield any breakthrough, anguished relatives of Chinese passengers aboard the ill-fated plane today demanded that Malaysia must apologise for its misleading statements.

Some 29 family members from China arrived in Kuala Lumpur and held a news conference at their hotel, imploring officials to be more transparent.

“We want evidence, we want truth and we want our family,” said Jiang Hui, the families’ designated representative.

The crowd chanted the same words.

He also asked Malaysia to apologise for releasing confusing information and for announcing on March 24 that the plane had crashed without “direct evidence”.

The Beijing-bound jetliner – carrying 239 people, including five Indians, an Indo-Canadian and 154 Chinese nationals – had vanished after taking off from Kuala Lumpur and crashed in the remote southern Indian Ocean. (Agencies)
