For the first time, a national day of mourning

PETALING JAYA: In an unprece­dented move, Malaysia will observe a day of mourning for the victims of the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 tragedy – and it will be on par or better than the respectful and dignified ceremony by the Dutch.

The committee formed to oversee the last rites for the MH17 victims is working on arrangements for the day of mourning which was announced by the Prime Minister.
