(Aug 6): Sara Weeks, the sister of a passenger on MH370, is taking Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's announcement that the flaperon found was debris from the missing Malaysia Airlines jet with a pinch of salt, given that he had misled information on the case numerous times in the past, Astro Awani reported.

In an interview with the broadcaster, Sara, whose brother Paul was on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing that went missing on March 8 last year, said that she wished that all parties had waited until they were all on the same page before making the announcement.

While Najib announced early this morning that investigations conclusively confirmed that the wreckage found on the French Indian Ocean island of Reunion was from MH370, a French prosecutor only said that there was  a "very high probability" that wreckage was from the jet.

"I take what he says with a grain of salt.

"We've had lots of mistruths and been misled by him so many times, and you know, you go right back to the beginning where in fact he blatantly lied many times about what they knew and what had happened," Sara said.

Given her mistrust of the Malaysian prime minister, Sara was now waiting for the French authorities and the other investigators involved in examining the flaperon to confirm its origin.

"It's very difficult to believe someone who's been so misleading.

"But in the end, the facts, they tell the truth and I guess he can't escape from that," Sara told Astro Awani.

She said that the wing, if it was indeed from MH370, cannot bring closure unless they find out what really happened.

She added that people all over the world would want to know as well how a plane could just go missing.

"A piece of a wing can't bring closure. It can give you some idea of what happened, yes, but we need to know why, we need to know how, we need all of those answers.

"You can't have closure when you don't know what's happened to someone," she added.

Saying that there was still a long way to go, she hoped that the search would continue to find out how MH370 ended.

A major search effort has so far failed to spot any debris of the aircraft which was carrying 239 people, but the discovery of the debris on La Reunion offered a glimmer of hope for closure to the 17-month mystery. – The Malaysian Insider
