Hani Daleeya Junaidi is only seven but knows that her father Junaidi Mohd Kassim, a flight attendant on Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370, is missing along with the plane and 238 others on board. “But he will return," she said cheerfully.
Like Hani, families of those on board the ill-fated aircraft have kept their hopes up that their loved ones will be found and expressed the sentiment at the Voice370 event held in Damansara Damai today to mark the 100 days of flight MH370’s disappearance.
Some 30 families who turned up at the event wrote messages of love and hope on balloons before releasing them.
"I felt relieved watching the balloon carrying the message to my husband blown away by the wind," said Hani’s mother and Junaidi’s wife Nurazlinda Ayub.
Jacquita Gonzales, whose husband, inflight supervisor Patrick Francis Gomes was on board the plane, said watching the balloon blown by the wind gave her a mixed feeling.
"I wish God will hear our prayer and grant it," she said.
During the two-hour function, the families wrote their wishes on papers and folded them into origami shapes, which were then pinned on a board on a stage.
Hani and the other children also took part in a short video to pay tribute to all the fathers on board the plane and drew artwork for them, it being Father's Day today.
Also present were Intan Maizura Othaman, wife of MAS crew Mohd Hazrin Hasnan, with her daughter Iman and 27-day-old son Muhammad. Mohd Hazrin's sisters were also there to support the event.
