The brother of a passenger on flight MH370 was called to return to Indonesia as police would be searching his home.
Robinhood Simanjuntak said his sister, Surti Dahlia, 50, had visited him for a week at their family home in Medan. Surti was enroute to Amsterdam with a stopover at Beijing.
"Following news that the last residences of all passengers and crew will be searched, local police contacted me yesterday to say they will be at my house tomorrow.
"Since there are no new updates here, I might as well go home and observe the search," he said when met at The Everly Putrajaya hotel.
Robinhood and his wife, Delfi Siagian, have been here since news broke of the missing flight.
Surti, who is Dutch by marriage, is the fifth of seven siblings.
She had told her family she would be flying to Kuala Lumpur with a stopover in Beijing before heading back to Amsterdam.
Asked if he had noticed anything amiss in Surti's behaviour, Robinhood said he could not recall anything different about her.
He said he would return if the authorities have a major breakthrough in the search.
"I know the Malaysian government is doing its best, and I pray for the safety of my sister and everyone on board," he said.
MH370 with 239 passengers and crew was reported missing after taking off early morning on Mar 8. (*****)
