KUALA LUMPUR: The wife, two children and parents of a passenger of missing flight MH370 is suing Malaysia Airlines(MAS) and eight others for over RM32 million.
K. Sri Devi, 31; her sons aged between 3 and 5; G. Subramaniam and A. Amirathan, both aged 61, through their counsel Shailender Bhar, filed the negligence suit at the High Court Registry here this morning.
Shailender said his clients have decided to initiate legal action now over missing governance specialist S. Puspanathan, 33, because they not received any answers to their queries the past two years regarding the flight that went missing on March 8, 2014.

The family claimed that the defendants had negligently caused his death when the Boeing 777-200ER aircraft and its 227 passenger disappeared on during a Beijing-bound flight from Kuala Lumpur
International Airport (KLIA) on March 8, 2014.
The plaintiffs are seeking aggravated and exemplary damages as well as for loss of support, bereavement, traumatic psychiatric injury, among others.
The legal action named Malaysian Airline System Bhd, Malaysia Airlines Bhd, the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) and its director-general Datuk Seri Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, the Immigration Department and its then director-general Datuk Aloyah Mamat, the Royal Malaysian Airforce and its then-chief General Tan Sri Rodzali Daud, and the government.
