To the families of victims on board the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, the past half a year or so have been an endless waiting game filled with frustration, but with occasional glimmers of hope. Talk about resuming the search for the aircraft has been going on since March, but the families are still waiting for a decision from the authorities. Grace Subathirai Nathan, speaking for Voice of 370, the next-of-kin support group, said nothing had changed since Ocean Infinity, a US-based seabed exploration firm, offered to conduct the new search.
She said Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai told the group about the offer at a meeting held before the MH370 remembrance event in March. Liow was reported as saying yesterday that Malaysia had received proposals from Ocean Infinity as well as the Dutch company Fugro and an unidentified Malaysian company. But he added that no decision had been made yet. Grace said the families had initially respected the government’s decision to review the offers made by the companies. She said the families had no other details about the offers. Maira Elizabeth Nari, the daughter of MH370 chief steward Andrew Nari, is hopeful that the search would resume.
