Grace Nathan is an official spokesperson for Voice 370, a support group for the families of the missing passengers. She believes that unless the plane is found, they will never know what happened or why it happened, and therefore they will not be able to prevent it from happening again. She continues to urge volunteer parties or governments to continue the search for the plane.
“I ask myself this all the time, why am I still doing this?” Grace said in her interview. “Sometimes I think I have done my best; I have done my part. But I remember how much my mum has done for me and how many sacrifices she has made. I can’t give up on finding her, it is not a thought I can entertain.”
Aside from her advocacy work, Grace Nathan is also a practicing lawyer in Selangor, Malaysia, specializing in criminal defense, constitutional law, and detention without trial. She is a Partner at Sivananthan Advocates & Solicitors and has nearly a decade of active experience in the field.
