State-run China Daily took up the cudgels for the embattled Malaysian authorities handling the investigation of the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370, reiterating that the Chinese people should wait for the release of solid evidence first before hurling hurtful words, staging protests, and threatening to boycott all things Malaysia.

In a commentary, Mei Xinyu, a researcher at the Commerce Ministry Institute, said that although Chinese citizens sympathize with the families of the passengers, this does not give them the power to openly attack Malaysia, incite aggression and instigate the Chinese people to hate Malaysia.

Xinyu said that amid the uncertainty of finding the missing plane, Malaysia has been on top of the situation and did not shirk from the responsibility even if they were receiving flak left and right from other nations.

Malaysian citizens, media and scholars felt sad and ashamed of how Malaysia handled the investigations but they voiced their sentiments in a rational, legal and logical way, far from the aggressive behavior Chinese people are exhibiting.

The author pointed out that the Chinese government has been very involved in the search for the missing jetliner, sending what could probably be the largest air, land and sea equipment and personnel to the search area.

With this action in place, all that Chinese citizens must do is to wait for any evidence that could be found. The author added that "making noise" as what the Chinese are doing is an exercise in futility and hurts the feelings of the Malaysian people.

Xinyu added that this is not the time to point fingers or do the blame game on the missing MH370. Although Chinese people sympathize with the families of the passengers, the author said this is also not the time to trample on social norms.

China is capable of handling the situation and maintaining peace and order, mainly acting in a very rational way. Xinyu called on the citizens to act in a rational manner and not make attempts on fomenting violence or dissatisfaction among their peers.

"We hope that those whose voices are being heard can carry forward rationality, self-discipline and law-abiding consciousness, rather than inciting  irrational, individualistic activities that trample on laws and ethics," Xinyu said.

Latest  investigations have shown that the last words between the air traffic control and the cockpit were not "All right. Goodnight. " as Malaysian authorities earlier said.

Instead, it was " Good night Malaysian three seven zero."

Investigations are still determining who between the pilot and co-pilot uttered the words.

Reports said the new version of the last conversation was "more formal", the kind and usual conversing that happens between the pilot and the air traffic control.

Efforts are underway to retrieve the wreckage of the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 carrying 239 passengers, 154 of them Chinese. Various objects have come up in military satellite  radars but none has been linked to the missing plane yet.
