Relatives of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 victims denounce govt’s move

An organisation of relatives of passengers and crew members who were aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 when it vanished nearly 2 years ago has accused the Malaysian govt of legal manoeuvring that could deny them compensation from the airline. With the approach of a March 8 deadline for filing suit against the airline — the second anniversary of the ill-fated flight — some family members and lawyers contend that Malaysia’s recent restructuring of the struggling national carrier could leave it without sufficient assets to compensate them. “The govt is trying to protect one of its businesses instead of allowing its citizens access to justice,” said a lawyer who represents Voice 370, a support group for family members of passengers and crew members. <br/>
