A Malaysia Airlines cabin crew member ended her remarkable 40-year career in a touching farewell flight from Sydney to Kuala Lumpur, accompanied by her daughter who also works with the airline.
A farewell with family support
The veteran crew member, Leading Stewardess Zuhaimi, took her last walk down the aisle with her daughter, Delilah, by her side.

Both mother and daughter shared the special moment together, marking the end of one legacy and the continuation of another.
Daughter captures emotional send-off
Delilah recorded her mother’s final duty on TikTok, showing moments from the flight.
The clips quickly went viral, drawing messages of congratulations and well wishes from viewers.

Speaking to WeirdKaya, Delilah revealed that she had planned the surprise just days before the flight, after her mutual swap request was approved.
I would also like to express my gratitude to my cabin crew managers, Mr. Bobby and Mr. Anderson, for assisting with the swap,” she said.
A touching moment in the cabin
During the flight, Delilah placed a crown on her mother’s head, calling her “the queen she is.”
As Zuhaimi made her way through the cabin for the last time, she paused in the economy section to wipe away tears as passengers applauded.
Her farewell concluded in the rear galley where colleagues prepared a banner reading “We Will Miss You.”

The emotional gesture symbolised the deep respect her team had for her long service.
Malaysia Airlines has bid farewell to many long-serving crew members over the years, but Zuhaimi’s send-off stood out for the family bond it showcased.
She now enters retirement, while her daughter continues her journey in the skies.
