Yesterday Voice370 issued a press statement expressing their disappointment that the Malaysian Government has chosen to remain silent again. This time regarding the offer from a US company that they would like to embark on the search for the missing plane now that Australia (ATSB and CSIRO) has redefined the search area further north of where they had been searching all this while. The offer amounted to something like 'no-find, no-pay' which I thought was pretty reasonable and KIND. Why then is Malaysia not taking it up? I'm equally sad and disappointed. Which leads me to question its sincerity in wanting to recover the plane. Some parties earlier had already suggested some form of 'cover up' on Malaysia's part. The present stance is definitely open to question, doesn't it? In the first place, what was your real reason for ending the search? Surely money spent - no matter the amount - on looking for the plane can be justified in more ways than you can think of. We are talking about human lives here -isn't that reason enough?

Please consider this. The incident is entering its 4th year and we are nowhere near to getting any form of answers as to what happened to the plane and its 239 passengers. You might choose to sidestep the incident but don't expect that we - family and friends of those on board - can do the same. Do you even have the faintest idea of how we have coped for the last 3 years without the slightest inkling as to what happened to our loved ones? 'Difficult' can hardly begin to describe our torment.Things might have seemed normal to you, and that we have weathered the worst. We all grieve in our own way, some more demonstrative than others; but believe you me, we GRIEVE....and will continue until the day we know what happened to flight MH370 and why it ended the way it did.

You say you empathize, and that you feel for us. Words alone won't do; actions speak louder than words. Your silence amounts to inertia, and it doesn't augur well for you, much less for the future of our nation as our Merdeka Day looms around the corner.
