The stations under the Star Radio Group will observe the
National Day of Mourning on 22nd August to honour the Malaysians of
MH17, in particular their long and arduous journey back home as they are
finally laid to rest.
The stations’ breakfast show welcome calls and messages from fellow
Malaysians who wish to also honour those who perished in this tragedy.
The stations will then take the feed from RTM from the venue of the
official ceremony to honour those returning home from 10:30am to 12pm.
“We mourn the loss of our fellow countrymen, and we invite our
listeners to tune in – whether from their cars, offices, homes – to mark
this day when they are competing their journey home,” says Kudsia
Kahar, COO of Star Radio Group.
Among invited interviewees to SRG stations will be therapists who
will share their expertise on how to handle sudden loss of life, grief
and overcoming tragedy, so that SRG listeners can empathise with loved
ones of the fallen of MH17.
