KUALA LUMPUR: It's exactly a month since Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 mysteriously disappeared on March 8.
To mark the incident that has gripped the nation, a candlelight vigil was held at the iconic Independence Square in Kuala Lumpur.

With the search for the missing plane now entering its fifth week, people in Malaysia have come together to pray for those onboard.
Families and friends of missing passengers and crew members continue to cling to every glimmer of hope that their loved ones would be found.
With Malaysians and Chinese forming the largest group of those missing, simultaneous candlelight vigils were held in both capitals.
At exactly 41 minutes past midnight one month ago, MH 370 took off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing.
Onboard were 227 passengers and 12 crew members.
"Goodnight Malaysian 370" was the plane's last communication with Air Traffic Control -- at 1.19am. Then it vanished without a trace.
What happened next still baffles the world, making aviation history.
The biggest and most complex multinational search was launched, with teams scouring the South China Sea through to the deep southern Indian Ocean.
The fresh detection of signals consistent with an aircraft black box by Australian Defencevessel Ocean Shield has reignited hopes.
Hishammuddin Hussein, Malaysia's Acting Transport Minister, said: "We are cautiously hopeful that there will be positive developments in the next few days, if not hours."

But with so many false leads over the past month, Malaysians responded with caution.
"Although they did say it could be from the black box, there's nothing to say that it belongs to MH370, and that has been what we have been going through for the past one month. Closure, without closure."
"Somehow or rather, we've got to be strong. We have to accept it and we have to be patient."
For the families of those still missing, the emotional and physical strain has been unbearable.
Calling for patience, the authorities have urged restraint from all sides.
They say time and space are needed to verify the acoustic signals from the towed pinger locater -- signals described as the most promising lead yet in four weeks of investigations.
