MH17: Remains of two more M'sian victims arrive tomorrow - Liow

The remains of two more Malaysian citizens who perished in the Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Flight MH17 tragedy in July will arrive tomorrow.

The remains of Tambi Jiee and Benjamin Lee Jian Han will arrive at the Bunga Raya Complex in the KL International Airport at 8.30am.

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the duo's remains would be accorded full military honours, adding that Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin would be present at the ceremony.

In a statement here today, he said Jiee's remains would then be flown to Kuching on an RMAF C-130 aircraft while those of Lee would be taken to the Xiao En Bereavement Care Centre in Cheras.

The return of the duo's remains marks the repatriation of a total of 35 MH17 Malaysian victims, including a passenger with dual citizenship (Loh Yan Hwa) and two Dutch citizens (Paul Goes and Fan Shun Po).
