Land for family but there’s no family


MH17 has been a heartbreaking story, one of families being wiped out, being torn asunder; of children losing parents and parents losing children. And of innocent lives lost in an insane incident. The Star has talked to many of the victim’s kin. Here, we let them say it in their own words.

KUCHING: We have a family home in Petra Jaya. Behind it is a vacant piece of land. It was for my sister Ariza Ghazalee. Ariza and her husband, Tambi Jiee, were coming home to Malaysia after working in Kazakhstan for about three years. Tambi had just been transferred to Kuala Lumpur.
