THE full report on the incident involving two Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) helicopters which had resulted in the loss of 10 officers and personnel on April 23 will be released by next week at the latest, said Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.
The Defence Minister said the comprehensive investigation report regarding the incident in Lumut, Perak, is being finalised, without providing further details, Bernama reported.
“It will be released soon, possibly by the end of next week,” he was quoted as saying to reporters at the Malaysia Skills Diploma and Perhebat Certificate Awards Ceremony at the Sungai Buloh Camp on Tuesday (May 28).
Earlier reports indicated that the Cabinet extensively deliberated on the helicopter incident at the RMN Base in Perak and pledged to deliver an interim report within two weeks, followed by the full report within a month.
The incident, which occurred at 9.32am on April 23, killed all 10 on board both aircraft.
The helicopters collided during a mid-air manoeuvre in a flypast rehearsal for the RMN’s 90th anniversary celebrations. – May 28, 2024
