On 10 March 2014, a group of "web-users who wanted to come together" gathered at Dataran Merdeka in a prayer meeting in support of the families of those on board MH370
- The organiser of the event, Nixon Low Ling Fei, 36, said the gathering was originally just for a group of friends who wanted to collectively pray for the safety of the passengers but it grew to include more than 50 people.
- "We are just a bunch of web-users who wanted to come together to pray for the people on MH370,” the real estate negotiator said.
- “We thought to ourselves, why stay at home when we can come out and try to give some support to the people who have relatives on board MH 370. We stand with them, they are not alone.”
The management of Pavilion KL set up a wall of tribute for the crew members and passengers of MH370 - an idea that came from activist Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir
- Joyce Yap, Retail CEO of Pavilion, told The Rakyat Post that the idea came from none other than activist Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir.
- “Marina has a good heart… She was the one who called us and gave us this idea,” said Yap, who immediately mobilised her team to realise Marina’s idea.
- Marina Mahathir on 10 March 2014, "Folks, at 4pm today Pavilion KL will be putting up a wall on which you can post your messages of support, hope, prayers etc to all onboard MH370 and their families. If you're downtown, please do go and post something. Am also working on getting other shopping centres to do the same."
