Pilgrims anxious to return home

Plans not taking off: Pilgrims entering Ramada hotel after not being able to take a flight home to Malaysia.

PETALING JAYA: A group of 453 Malaysians, who are supposed to be home five days ago from their umrah pilgrimage, are anxious about how they will find a way out of Saudi Arabia after being left stranded at the airport twice.

The group had gone to the Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz Inter­national Airport in Medina, all packed for home, on Dec 22 but somehow, the flight “did not take place”.
