PETALING JAYA: As a United Nations agency declared that Russia was responsible for the tragic downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, Wan Yusuf Irfan Wan Amran paid tribute to his late father Wan Amran Wan Hussin, who captained the plane.

He described July 17, 2014, as the most painful day of his life, marking the loss of his father in what he termed the “senseless downing” of the flight and “an act of violence that claimed 298 innocent lives and shattered countless families”.
