Show yourselves first, deputy minister tells Voice 370 ahead of meet

PUTRAJAYA, June 12 ― A group claiming to represent families of those aboard Flight MH370 must identify themselves before Putrajaya will finalise a meeting with them, deputy Foreign Minister Datuk Hamzah Zainuddin said today.

Hamzah, who chairs the committee dealing with next-of-kin of those on the missing plane, said it is unfair for the group calling itself Voice370 to expect full disclosure from the government when they are unwilling to name themselves.

“I received an email from Voice MH370 that had no signature. Who are they? What authority do they have and how many next-of-kin are they representing? When I asked them that, they didn’t want to reveal anything because they said it is confidential,” he said at a news conference here.

“You want us to be transparent, so you need to be transparent with me,” he added.

Last Friday, a group calling itself Voice370 wrote to Hamzah to request the meeting, as well as assistance for the families during this “difficult” period, giving Putrajaya until yesterday to inform them formally of its decision.

A group of families have also launched a crowdsourcing campaign to raise US$5 million (RM16.05 milion) to pay whistleblowers and private investigators to conduct their own search for the missing Malaysia Airlines-owned Boeing 777.

On Monday, Putrajaya agreed to hold the meeting “in due time”

“With regards to the Next of Kin committee, we acknowledge Voice370’s request to meet with Malaysia’s prime minister, the acting transport minister and the chair of the Next of Kin Committee,” Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Jailani Johari said in a statement.

“This meeting will be arranged in due time and we look forward to establish a working template in dealing with issues raised by the Next of Kin.”

He stressed that his committee has been in touch with “almost all” the families of the 239 passengers and crew on board the missing plane.

Voice370 beseeches the government of Malaysia to provide the original, unadulterated sets of data!!! If you have nothing to hide, then releasing the data to third party analysis should clear you, right?

Sara Bajc, partner of an American on Flight 370, says Flight 370 families believe officials are hiding something.

A plea from the families of MH370 passengers, crew – Voice370

May 09, 2014

In view of the search entering a new phase and with regard to meetings, starting from Wednesday, to review data and information collected from the search so far, we urge all relevant authorities to carefully reconsider the data anew, without predetermination or bias as to any possible or probable outcome.

Due to the lack of physical evidence that MH370 ended in the Southern Indian Ocean, the families are in urgent need of a conclusion, based on Inmarsat data analysis, that the flight ended in the Indian Ocean to be reconsidered , so as to confirm its accuracy.

Furthermore, if Inmarsat’s analysis is unable to rule out other flight paths as a possibility, that fact must be acknowledged. Given the lack of tangible evidence of what happened to MH370, in our view, data analysis that only indicates a probable southern flight path is an insufficient basis to support a definitive conclusion that no other flight path was possible.

We implore the Malaysian government to share and release the raw Inmarsat satellite engine ping data for 9MMRO (every ping from Friday, March 7 12:00 until the final signal was received globally so that it can be subject to broader analysis by relevant experts.

The Inmarsat satellite data is the only lead we have and is key in identifying MH370’s flight path after the plane vanished from the civilian radar screens on Mar 8. In view of the lack of ELT activation, zero detected debris, and the lack of convincing JACC ping, we feel that it is necessary that the data be subject to independent third party review. Neutral broad minded review would assist in the data assessment. It is our hope that with out of box thinking, the whole world can help to look for the plane.

We also implore the Joint Agency Coordination Centre to share and release the pings recorded by the towed pinger locator. Those pings have been characterised as a signal oscillating at 33.3kHz with each ping being 1.106s apart. The pings were non-continuous and the furthest distance between the locations of the pings is roughly 15miles. These recorded pings are another piece of evidence needed to verify not only the accuracy of the Inmarsat calculation but also to prove the transmissions are in fact from the flight data recorder and that it is within that area.

Understanding whether the recorded pings are from the flight data recorder, will greatly enhance the chances of locating the plane. We understand that the specifications of the towed pinger locator could be US classified information. We are not asking for that information, but merely the recorded pings which were analysed by Australia be allowed to be analysed by other independent experts.

In anticipation of non-governmental agencies or contractors being engaged to conduct a new phase in the search we make two requests. First, that the WHOI be engaged to take responsibility for the undersea search operations and to coordinate and conduct the search. In our view, that WHOI is not a commercial entity and its successful location of Air France 447 demonstrates that it has the experience and the expertise to conduct the search for MH370 in an ethical manner.

Secondly, if the employ of expertise or resources of any commercial organisation would benefit the search, then WHOI remain engaged in and ultimately responsible for the search operation to the extent of its capabilities, together with oversight of any commercial organisation. We do not presume a lack of credibility or any intention on behalf of commercial entity to exploit the search operation, and appreciate that commercial expertise may be necessary. We would merely take comfort that oversight by a non-profit driven entity like WHOI would maintain levels of accountability and transparency.

We the families would like to take this opportunity to convey our sincere thanks to all the countries involved for their unrelenting efforts to help in the search.

Thank you. – May 9, 2014.
