A haj that never was for 300


Nowhere to fly to: Pilgrims left in the lurch and waiting at KLIA. — Bernama

PETALING JAYA: Haj pilgrims who were stranded at the airport were sweet-talked by travel agents for days before everything finally unravelled on Thursday. A daughter of an affected pilgrim, who wished to be identified as Hani, said she sensed something wrong after her 63-year-old mother’s flight was postponed several times.

She said her mother had first gone to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) on June 28 only to be told the flight was postponed to July 4.
