"We can't wait anymore!": Enraged relatives of Chinese MH370 passengers storm KL media room before getting thrown out

"We can't wait, we just can't wait anymore," an emotional mother surnamed Xu wailed in Mandarin repeatedly, demanding to know the whereabouts of her son.

According to The Straits Times, several emotional family members of the missing Chinese passengers on MH370 stormed into the media conference room at Sama-Sama Hotel near Kuala Lumpur International Airport on yesterday (Mar 19), ahead of a regular press briefing scheduled to begin at 5.30pm.

It has been almost two weeks since the Malaysian Airlines flight lost contact with ground on Mar 8, and investigators are still unable to give a definite answer due to the lack of conclusive evidence.

Claiming to represent some 20 family members of the missing passengers on board MH370, Madam Xu said all of them were not satisfied with the Malaysian government's search and rescue capabilities.

She said:
"We were told that they are searching, we are told the same thing everyday.

"They have searched the Chinese territorial waters, they have even gone to the Andaman Sea, but where has the plane gone?"

Police intervened to stop the commotion shortly after.

The Chinese family members were locked in a small media secretariat room just next to the press briefing room, as the press conference proceeded.

They were then escorted out of the room through different doors, sparking a media scrum as photographers and videographers scrambled to get footage of the family members.

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.
