‘I HEAR HIM CALLING ME’

Mum feels son’s presence at home

“ONE night, I was awakened by the sound of Muzi calling out to me,” said the mother of Muzi Yusop, a passenger of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.

Saemah Sidek, 74, said her son, 50, the eldest of eight siblings, would call out to her when he was going to or returning from work as his house was adjacent to hers.

She said perhaps she was so used to him calling out to her till she began hearing him in her sleep.

“He always called me from the yard. Sometimes, he would come into my kitchen.

“To this day, I refuse to forget my son.

“I feel his presence in the house,” she said at her home in Kampung Jenjarom recently.

She said her daughter-in-law, Haniza Bachik, 51, and three of her grandchild­ren, aged 18 to 28, had come to terms with the tragedy. However, she was hopeful that the search would find her son’s last-known location.

“All I want is the location. (The airplane) is as big as a house and carried hundreds of people, so why is it hard to find?

“Just tell me where it is because, right now, there is not even a proper grave.”

Muzi was a production manager of electronic­s company Freescale Semiconduc­tor, and had worked there for 28 years.
