By Lim Kit Siang, MP for Gelang Patah<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I rise with a heavy heart to take part in the Motion of Thanks\u00a0 on the Royal Address.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the sixth day of the disappearance of MH 370 with 239 passengers and crew, and what has made the past five days so excruciating and tormenting to the families, relatives and friends of the 239 people on board and well-wishers regardless of race, religion, political affiliation or nationality\u00a0 in Malaysia and world-wide is that nothing has been found despite a massive multi-national SAR operation involving 35 aircraft and 42 vessels\u00a0 to give any clue as to\u00a0 what actually happened or to indicate the final location of the aircraft.<\/span><\/p>\n

With each\u00a0 passing day, our\u00a0 hopes and prayers that the 239 passengers and crew of MH 370 can survive safely through their ordeal become more and more tenuous, but even so, we must not give up hope and must continue to pray for a miracle for MH 370.<\/span><\/p>\n

All Malaysians, in fact all humanity, regardless of race, religion, politics or nationality,\u00a0 have come together as one to pray for the safety of the 239 passengers and crew on board MH 370.<\/p>\n

We cannot pretend that many questions are not being asked, whether by the aggrieved families, relatives and friends or by the humanity at large, whether\u00a0 in Malaysia or internationally, and which increase with each passing day, about the MH 370 tragedy, but the answers to\u00a0 these questions will have to wait as the\u00a0 sole focus and priority\u00a0 must be to\u00a0 find the aircraft.<\/span><\/p>\n

Malaysians and the world, however,\u00a0 must be assured that at the right time and place, answers to all the questions that are being asked in the country and worldwide will be found.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Malaysian Parliament\u00a0 which represents all Malaysians must play its role in this MH 370 tragedy, not only giving full support to all the efforts in the \u201csearch and rescue\u201d efforts by the government and the various agencies but also subsequently to conduct full investigations into the MH 370 tragedy and \u00a0its\u00a0 various controversies and confusions, including:<\/span><\/p>\n
