IPOH, Aug 7 — Phong Say Moi is prepared for the long haul in obtaining full disclosure on the fate of MH370 chief stewardess and her daughter-in-law, Goh Sock Lay, 45.

“An in-depth investigation must be carried out. My family and I want to know what really happened. It may take a long time for the answers to come but we will wait for the truth,” the 72-year-old shop owner in Kampung Tawas, near here, said.

The  emotional ordeal of having lost Goh has not ended with the discovery of the flaperon.

“I don’t think the chapter has closed for my family. There are many unanswered questions,” Phong told Malay Mail yesterday as Bercham assemblyman Cheong Chee Khing came to her shop to offer moral support.

“I am not satisfied although the authorities have claimed a part of the plane (the flaperon) has been found.

“There is a lot of confusion and suspicion. What really happened to the plane? Where is it now?”

Phong, who looks after Goh’s only daughter, Choi Wei Ling, 17, as her son, Loong Chow, 49, works in Kuala Lumpur, said she would not accept piecemeal information from the authorities as conclusive evidence MH370 ended its journey in the Indian Ocean.

Asked about Wei Ling, who studies in Ipoh, she said the teenager had been quiet for the last few days.

Phong said her grandaughter had kept to herself since reading about the discovery of  the debris on Reunion island.

“We did not tell her anything but she must have found out about it on the Internet,” she said.

“She was close to her mother. Since the plane went missing, she has become quiet. It is a painful experience for any child. We can only hope she will find strength to deal with this tragedy.”
