The family’s lawyer Yap Hoi Liong said the couple, who are bringing back Chung’s ashes, are flying off from Taipei on an 8.30am flight on Wednesday.
They will transit at KLIA for their connecting flight at 1.45pm to Kuching International Airport.
Thereafter, they will board another flight to Sibu Airport at 4.40pm with the flight expected to arrive at 5.20pm.
