DHAKA: Malaysia drew a fresh round of scathing criticism from China on Monday over conflicting information on missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, with state media and social media users voicing increasing scepticism as the search enters its 10th day.

Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak on Saturday announced that the Malaysia Airlines flight`s disappearance may have been ‘deliberate’ and that the aeroplane flew for several hours after leaving its intended flight path.

In an editorial, the China Daily newspaper questioned why the announcement from Kuala Lumpur came more than a week after the flight vanished and wondered whether Malaysia was sharing all of the information it had gathered.

‘The contradictory and piecemeal information Malaysia Airlines and its government have provided has made search efforts difficult and the entire incident even more mysterious,’ the newspaper wrote, reports The Straits Times.

‘What else is known that has not been shared with the world?’ it asked.
