Malaysian authorities are being criticised by the Chinese people for being slow to act and provide information on the missing Jet that is now believed to have gone down over the Indian Ocean.
I understand the frustration at losing a loved one but the anger is totally misplaced.
The original suspicions were of foul play, that it may have been a terrorist hijacking. Would the Malaysian government have benefited from releasing the information from their investigation? Of course not.
The last thing the relatives wanted to hear was "we're investigating where we think the terrorists are." Only later to hear , "the terrorists have now escaped with the hostages. Somehow they knew we were coming. Maybe they watched the news."
When will people realise that if they really care about their loved ones they would rather not know and them have a chance to be saved than knowing what has happened and risk ruining the rescue efforts.
Maybe I'm too rational and not sensitive enough, but wanting "closure" over the safety of their families is a poor sense of judgement. Even if it is a crash, why take the chance?
