| Home in KLIA - stranded Syrian has lived in airport for more than 50 days Posted: PETALING JAYA: A stranded Syrian national has been calling Kuala Lumpur International Airport's (KLIA) transit area home for more than 50 days. In a tale reminiscent of the Steven Spielberg-directed The Terminal, the Palestinian passport holder has been living off the kindness of strangers. In the 2004 film, an immigrant takes shelter in a New York airport terminal after being denied entry to the United States, as he is unable to return to his war-torn home country. The movie was based on the true story of an Iranian refugee who had to call Terminal 1 of the Charles de Gaulle Airport in France home for 17 long years. Now, KLIA has its own true story of a life lived in limbo. More in The Star tomorrow. |
