I was saddened to learn of the plane crash in Russia’s Far East. My thoughts are with the families who have lost their loved ones. In times like this, we are reminded of how fragile life is, and how connected we all are, across distance and borders. It also reminds us that our shared humanity matters more than geopolitics. Malaysia conveys its condolences to the Russian people. We stand in quiet solidarity with all who mourn. ANWAR IBRAHIM Photo: Russian Investigative Committee
