I don't know if they will stop in May... (But) We don't want them to stop searching, we are worried about this (latest development)."Jing said she will be flying back to China tomorrow, but other family members are expected to stay in Malaysia until March 10. More are also expected to arrive on March 6, two days before the first anniversary of MH370 tragedy.
