Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and Defense Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi were also present to witness the historic moment.
There family members of the 32 crews on board as well as foreign military officials were also invited to share the joyous occasion.
Remark:Nice superb design FDC with 3v lovely stamps was sent to me by my friend Khor Kok Keong from Malaysia on the issue date by regular airmail post.
