Pakatan wants gov't to clarify 'flight ended' claim


Pakatan Rakyat leaders have urged the government to explain what it actually meant when Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak said that the MH370 flight "ended in the southern Indian Ocean" in a late press conference on Mar 24.

DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang said it was clearly a "mistake" by Najib to make such an announcement and then have acting Transport Minister Hishamuddin Hussein assert that Najib never said that the plane crashed.

Lim questioned Najib's move to register a special motion to express sympathy for the families of those on board the ill-fated flight the following day in Parliament, after many national newspapers had paid tribute to the plane with the assumption that the plane had "crashed".

"He could have said there are indications or possibilities. What he said was not conclusive at all," he said during a press conference at Parliament today.
