马航事故削弱中国人赴马旅行意愿

China currently accounts for 12% of tourists to Malaysia, according to a research report by Bank of America-Merrill Lynch. Such tourists together account for 6% of Malaysia's total tourism receipts, or 0.4% of GDP.

美银美林(Bank of America-Merrill Lynch)的研究报告显示，目前前往马来西亚的游客中中国人占12%，给马来西亚贡献了6%的旅游业收入，相当于国内生产总值(GDP)的0.4%。

Meanwhile, anger erupted online over Malaysia's handling of the latest news on the missing flight, particularly that the official conclusion that the plane had crashed--delivered at 10 p.m. Monday night by Malaysia's prime minister--was sent to a number of family members by text message only shortly before the information was made public.

网民们对马来西亚方面发布失联航班最新消息的手法深感不满，尤其是马来西亚官方关于飞机已坠毁结论的发布方式――在周一晚间10点马来西亚总理对外宣布这一官方结论的不久前，马来西亚方面仅用一条短信通知失踪乘客家属结果。

'The way they announced their conclusions was too simple, too cruel. Can't they understand the feelings of those who've been praying for so long?' wrote one user on Sina Weibo.

新浪微博(Sina Weibo)的一名用户写道，这种方式太简单粗暴，他们就不能理解家属们的感受？家属们祈祷了那么久。

On its verified Weibo account, the official Communist Party mouthpiece People's Daily said it wasn't satisfied with Malaysian authorities' conclusions, which officials have said were derived from British air crash investigators' data. 'The reality is still unclear, the search cannot stop. We want the truth!'
