Plaza Pelangi shopping mall has set up a Love Tree where shoppers can write their messages and prayers for the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 on cards to be hung on the tree at the mall in Johor Baru.

Aviation crashes usually make headline news but MH370 has transfixed the world because of the way it simply disappeared.
