ABOUT FIFTY CHINESE relatives of passengers on board missing flight MH370 have arrived in Malaysia today to press for answers about the fate of their loved ones.
The grieving families, who have accused Malaysia of hiding information over the fate of the Boeing 777, are calling for a meeting with Prime Minister Najib Razak and his transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein, The Star online said.
Najib’s aide said no meeting with the newly arrived families had been scheduled for Sunday.
A spokeswoman for Malaysia Airlines said she could not comment on the matter out of respect for the families’ privacy.

Several other Chinese family members have been in Malaysia since shortly after the plane lost contact with air traffic controllers.
Najib announced last week that, based on satellite data and other calculations, the plane with 239 people on board was lost in the Indian Ocean on March 8 after being mysteriously diverted thousands of miles off course.
But many relatives of the 153 Chinese passengers, two thirds of those on board, are refusing to accept that the plane crashed into the ocean until an air and sea search finds some physical evidence.
The family members left through a special lane upon arrival at Kuala Lumpur International Airport this morning to avoid waiting media and reportedly boarded two buses.
Chinese news agency Xinhua said they were relatives of around 30 passengers on the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, which vanished on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Many relatives have stayed in Beijing, where they attend regular and acrimonious briefings with Malaysian officials.
Family members have stormed out of the meetings and shouted abuse at officials, claiming Malaysia is concealing the truth.
Irate relatives scuffled with security personnel outside the Malaysian embassy in Beijing on Tuesday, after authorities allowed a rare protest march in the capital.

Chinese families are upset understandably but I think
the Malaysians want also to know what happened to
the flight.
The Chinese are becoming a bore at this stage. A bit of decorum might be in order.
Sarah Palin believes it flew to heaven.
Have to agree , of course they are upset but until the black box is retrieved nobody seems to have a clue what happened to that flight . A nightmare for all involved .
Must admit that I’m more than a bit baffled by all the jumping up and down the Chinese are doing, claiming some kind of cover up by the Malaysians. What do they think they know that the rest of the world isn’t aware of ??
Tony Moran think you might be jumping up and down too if your loved ones had been on board three weeks later and not a single clue as to what happened
They will have to find the blackbox before mid-April as it only has a
30day battery life.
Yes the aid to help find it has a thirty day battery life but the data can still be recovered if they are found after this time. Let’s hope that it is found soon though as the families and the world need answers.
If the plane flew at 12000ft it would never have made it to the Indian Ocean. If it flew at 30000ft it would be seen on radar. It appears neither is the case so they feel someone is covering up something….. they just might be right.
Maybe Chinese relatives should be seeking clues in the other direction……..
Role Of Israel & Soros Exposed By MH370 Twin Jet In Tel Aviv.
“BANGKOK – It is by no mere coincidence, when telltale evidence of a Mossad role in the MH370 hijack was starting to snowball, that Israel’s embassies and consulates were suddenly shut down due to a “strike by diplomatic staff”. This fork-tongued alibi was obviously meant to prevent law enforcement agencies across Asia and the Western world from questioning Israeli intelligence agents and military attaches about the whereabouts and fate of the hundreds of passengers”
It is kind of ironic that the Chinese Government is encouraging its citizens to complain about the Malaysian Government’s lack of transparency. What about China’s cover up of everything from corruption related bridge collapses to SARS.
Sometimes simple incompetence and gross negligence can look like a coverup when you are angry.
I was sent this link last night. Albeit a conspiracy theory, it makes for an interesting read. http://m.news24.com/news24/Travel/Flights/This-man-says-he-knows-what-happened-to-Flight-MH370-20140328#.UzcVK2u1PNI.facebook
