Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's wife Rosmah Mansor hopes the people will stop speculating over the missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Flight MH370 out of respect for the families of the passengers and crew of the ill-fated flight.
"Do not speculate as long as there is no verified information. I hope the whole world will give thought to feelings of the families of the 239 people who were on board the aircraft," Rosmah said.
She said anyone with credible information on the tragedy should come forward to assist efforts to trace the Boeing 777-200ER that has been missing since March 8.
Rosmah said this when interviewed on BernamaTV's "Ruang Bicara" programme, which was broadcast live tonight. It was also streamed live on Bernama's website.
"Don't throw stones and then hide your hands behind your back (make wild allegations). That's cowardice, don't just talk and not provide solutions," she added.
Flight MH370, carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew, left the KL International Airport at 12.41am on March 8 and disappeared from radar screens about an hour later while over the South China Sea.
It was to have landed in Beijing at 6.30am on the same day.
A multinational search was mounted for the Boeing 777-200 aircraft, first in the South China Sea and then, after it was learnt that the plane had veered off course, in the southern Indian Ocean.
When an analysis of satellite data indicated that the plane's last position was in the middle of the Indian Ocean, west of Perth, Australia, it was announced that Flight MH370 "ended in the southern Indian Ocean".
Rosmah said as a woman and mother, she felt for the families involved who wanted answers to what happened to their loved ones.
Recalling her meeting with some of the families, she said some begged her for answers as to what actually had happened.
However, she said she was deeply saddened that she could not help in providing them the answers.
"I felt helpless... I wanted to help but could not. All I could do was to try to comfort them," she said.
Asked about her initial reaction on hearing about the plane having gone missing, Rosmah said she was in a state of sadness and shock.
"I was shocked, my knees were shaking, my whole body felt weak, I started fervently praying the plane would be quickly found," she said.
She said her first thoughts were that the aircraft might have experienced mechanical problems.
Rosmah also praised the dedication of the search teams involved in efforts to locate the missing jetliner which entered its 38th day today.
"Place your trust in the people who are tirelessly working to find the plane," she said.
