Malaysia Airlines hunts for missing plane carrying 239

Malaysian Airlines has told the family members of the passengers on the missing MH370 to return home to get valid passports so that they can facilitate travel for them to go to the crash site.

The relatives of the passengers on board the missing Beijing bound flight have been instructed to return to Kuala Lumpur International Airport by 6pm so that necessary travel arrangements can be made.
Police were seen assisting the relatives, many crying, out of the holding room through the crowd of journalists and media persons at KLIA.

Earlier, the Malaysian Transport minister had denied initial claims that the plane had crashed into the ocean off the coast of Vietnam.

At that time, the Transport minister said that the wreckage had not been found and the reports in Vietnamese media were unverified and that authorities were looking at "all possibilities".

Despite this, it seems that Malaysian Airlines has admitted that there is a  'crash site' but the location is still unknown.

The search for the wreckage and any possible survivors is ongoing with the Malaysian government having dispatched a plane, 2 helicopters and 4 sea vessels to search the South China Sea.

The Philippines had also sent three navy patrol boats and a surveillance plane. It was also reported that China had sent some support to the last known location of the plane to help with the search and rescue.
Here is a list of many of the passengers on board the flight:

ARSA claims ambush on Myanmar security forces

Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) on Sunday claimed responsibility for an ambush on Myanmar security forces that left several wounded in northern Rakhine state, the first attack in weeks in a region gutted by violence. Rakhine was plunged into turmoil last August, when a series of ARSA raids prompted a military backlash so brutal the UN says it likely amounts to ethnic cleansing of the Muslim Rohingya minority. The army campaign sent some 650,000 Rohingya fleeing for Bangladesh, where refugees have given harrowing accounts of rape, murder and arson at the hands of security forces and vigilantes. Myanmar's military, which tightly controls information about Rakhine, denies any abuses and insists the crackdown was a proportionate response to crush the "terrorist" threat. ARSA have launched few attacks in recent months.  But the army reported that "about ten" Rohingya terrorists ambushed a car with hand-made mines and gunfire on Friday morning

Thai penis whitening trend raises eyebrows

Image copyright LELUXHOSPITAL Image caption Authorities warn the procedure could be quite painful A supposed trend of penis whitening has captivated Thailand in recent days and left it asking if the country's beauty industry is taking things too far. Skin whitening is nothing new in many Asian countries, where darker skin is often associated with outdoor labour, therefore, being poorer. But even so, when a clip of a clinic's latest intriguing procedure was posted online, it quickly went viral. Thailand's health ministry has since issued a warning over the procedure. The BBC Thai service spoke to one patient who had undergone the treatment, who told them: "I wanted to feel more confident in my swimming briefs". The 30-year-old said his first session of several was two months ago, and he had since seen a definite change in the shade. 'What for?' The original Facebook post from the clinic offering the treatment, which uses lasers to break do
