The question of allowing Western powers a leading role in the investigation may be sensitive in Malaysia, which is angered over bitter criticism, particularly from China, about its handling of the relatives of those lost on board MH370 and its seemingly disorganised conduct of the investigations into the aircraft’s disappearance 23 days ago on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
