I offer my deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the
239 passengers and crew of flight MH370 which has been announced by
the Prime Minister to have crashed into the southern Indian Ocean.
There are no words to describe their pain, anguish and sorrow in the
face of this tragedy and all concerned must give them full support and
assistance in the days and months ahead no matter what it takes.
Not only should the media give them space and privacy but the authorities,
in their investigation, should show the greatest consideration to the
grieving families of the crew members.
Efforts to find the wreckage must be continued. That must remain the
priority even as many questions remain unanswered.
The people, inparticular, the families and loved ones have a right to know all the
information and evidence concerning the crash particularly as to why
the government is certain, beyond reasonable doubt, that flight MH370
has crashed in the Indian Ocean. – 25th March 2014
