SINGAPORE (DPA): Relatives of victims of the 1997 SilkAir crash want the Singapore government to open its own investigation into the crash, and expressed frustration on Friday that the probe was going so slowly.

The lack of information about the cause of the crash of the freshly serviced 10-month-old Boeing 737 near Palembang, Indonesia, was causing "much anxiety and bitterness", the relatives statement said.

All 104 people aboard were killed when SilkAir flight MI 185 crashed on Dec. 19, 1997.
