Kelly Wen, the spokesperson of Chinese families aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, says the next of kin are planning a remembrance and not a memorial service to mark the first anniversary of the plane’s disappearance. – The Malaysian Insider file pic, February 25, 2015.The Malaysian and Chinese next of kin of those on flight MH370 are planning a remembrance and not a memorial service to mark the first anniversary of the missing flight as they refuse to accept the declaration that the plane is lost and that all on board are presumed dead, says the wife of a passenger.Spokesperson of the Chinese families, Kelly Wen, said their plans included searching for a suitable venue, applications for permits, talks with Putrajaya and printing of T-shirts."I want to emphasise that it will be a gathering to remember those on board and not a memorial because we refuse to accept the Malaysian government's declaration that MH370 has met in an accident," she told The Malaysian Insider."That declaration carries the presumption that our family members have died in the flight, we refuse to adhere to that presumption," added Wen, whose husband was on the flight that disappeared on March 8 while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.On January 29, Putrajaya declared the plane lost in an accident although it stressed that the search for it would continue in the southern Indian Ocean.Wen said family members of all nationalities will be present to support the remembrance event.But she declined to reveal further details as the particulars were still being finalised."We went to the Transport Ministry today to deal with several procedural matters today, we also talked to some of the families involved," she said.She said the families from China who had arrived here on February 11 to seek answers from Putrajaya would adhere to the 30-day limit on their visas."We will return to China and renew our visas, and when everything is settled we will return to Malaysia to continue our pursuit for the truth, until MAS gives us a response that answers all of our doubts and questions," she said.The Boeing 777 which was carrying 239 people last made contact with air traffic control less than an hour after take-off, at a point over the South China Sea.It then made a turn back across Peninsular Malaysia and took a turn south. It is believed to have continued flying until it ended in the southern Indian Ocean, where a massive undersea search for the wreckage is now ongoing.No trace of the plane has been found despite the largest search operation in aviation history. – February 25, 2015.
