Krakatau eruptions: Indonesian woman offers free stay at Jakarta home to stranded Malaysians
KUALA LUMPUR: An Indonesian woman living in Malaysia has offered her home in Jakarta for free to Malaysians left stranded by the eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau.
A Malaysian woman, Maira Safiraa, has offered her Jakarta home for free to stranded Malaysians affected by the eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau. Seven Malaysians have already taken refuge in her four-bedroom house, located around 30 minutes from Jakarta's airport. The authorities predict flight disruptions to persist until at least 12.30pm tomorrow.
Maira's offer was driven by humanitarian concerns and empathy for those stranded abroad. She feels a sense of relief that her home is now livelier with more people around, including her personal assistant who now has company. However, Maira herself cannot extend the same hospitality to Indonesians stuck in Malaysia due to lack of available space.
