Kuala Lumpur - Arab Today
A Singapore Airlines (SIA) plane was about 90km or some 10 minutes away, when a Malaysia Airlines jet was shot down over eastern Ukraine last month.
Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew confirmed in a Parliamentary session that the plane was actually about 90km away, adding that there were no flight restrictions above 32,000ft over the particular airspace at the time.
MH17 was flying from Amsterdam, Netherlands to Kuala Lumpur when it was blown out of the skies while flying over eastern Ukraine where pro-Russian rebels are fighting government forces.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
