Two Malaysian teenage boys are suing Malaysia Airlines and the Malaysian government over the loss of their father on the missing Flight 370, says The Star. This is the first lawsuit filed by the family of a passenger of the plane that mysteriously vanished over the Indian Ocean in March.
Jee Kinson and Jee Kinland, sons of MH370 passenger Jee Jing Hang, say in the suit that the civial aviation department did not try to establish contact with the plane after it dropped from radar within reasonable time. They claim Malaysia Airlines was negligent and failed to take all due measures to ensure a safe flight, says The Star.
In the suit, the boys also called out the immigration department for allowing passengers with fake identities to board the plane. According to Malaysian police, the two men traveling on MH370 with stolen passports were Iranians trying to illegally migrate to Europe and were not considered terrorists.
