Putrajaya must restrict information on the Internet about Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 to protect Malaysians from the rage of Chinese families of the MH370 passengers, says Kinabatangan MP Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin today (Mar 25).
According to Malay Mail Online, he feels that continued bad news about the plane that is now assumed lost with no survivors among the 239 people on board could move Chinese citizens to take out their anger on Malaysians abroad.
He asked in Parliament:
"What will happen if Chinese citizens believe in such issues?
"They will riot and torture any Malaysians wherever they are. We don’t want this to happen.
"With our uncontrolled media, everything can be uploaded to their heart’s content. What will then happen?"
This comes as scores of angry relatives of the Chinese passengers aboard flight MH370 set out on a protest march to the Malaysian embassy in Beijing today to demand more answers about the fate of the missing plane and those on board.
Najib this morning submitted an emergency motion in Dewan Rakyat to mourn the fate of passengers and crew on the missing airliner, expressing Putrajaya’s condolences over the incident.
The emergency motion was seconded by Arau MP Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim. Representatives from the main parties will debate the motion today.
