“Please return home soon, MH370!,” “Keep our faith,” “We are waiting for you,” these and other messages, written by people of various nationalities and in different languages on the
three huge white screens at KL International Airport, all conveyed the same wish – the early safe return of the missing Malaysian flight MH370.
The three screens, with the words “Have hope,” “Please share our prayers for MH 370″ and “MH370″ written in colorful bold letters in the centre, were almost full. Yet late comers are still trying to put in a few words of good wishes even if in very small letters.
A Kuala Lumpur resident wrote on the screen “Never lose hope, families and friends of those onboard MH370, We pray for you all.” After that she began to read all the good wishes and took photos with her cellphone. She told Xinhua reporters that her friends were onboard the missing jet and she hoped all the good wishes would come true.
A group of students from Malaysia University of Technology came all the way from their campus some 300 km away to the airport to pray for those onboard the missing plane. Led by their teacher Ms. Su, they stood in silent prayer in front of the screens. Moved by the scene, many local residents and tourists joined them in the prayer.
Similar prayers have been held elsewhere in Malaysia.
In Pavilion, a famous shopping centre in the capital Kuala Lumpur, a good-wish wall, covered with wish cards, can be found near its entrance. From time to time, shoppers would stop to take a close look at the cards and take a new card from volunteers, then write their own wishes on the card and carefully tie it on the wall.
“Expecting miracles!” “Return home!” “Pray for all!” these cards convey the same message: Wish Flight MH370 an early safe return!
