Chin failed to attend the briefing at the hotel lobby, which is usually held before the crew leaves for the airport to board their flight.

Chin, who is married and has a child, was staying in Taman Oakland, Seremban with her husband. Chin, who was a senior flight attendant, and had been working with the airline since 1997.
