SUBANG: The aircraft carrying the body of Plantation Industries and Commodities secretary-general Datuk Dr Sundaran Annamalai arrived at the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) base in Subang at midnight today.
As the C-130 Hercules aircraft landed, several family members including Datin K. Talagavathi and their two children, were seen walking out of the aircraft.
Eight pallbearers began to unload the casket from the plane.
