Its president, Ismail Nasaruddin, said MAS must safeguard the rights of the family members until there was a closure to the missing MH370 flight.
It was reported today that MAS had severed ties with seven families of the MH370 crew members for seeking legal advice.
Caregivers were also instructed to stop engaging the families and any communication to MAS should be handled by the counsel representing the families.
