SUNGAI BULOH, May 28 — The full report on the tragic April 23 incident involving two Royal Malaysian Navy helicopters, which killed 10 officers and personnel, will be released by next week at the latest.
Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said the comprehensive investigation report regarding the incident in Lumut, Perak, is being finalised. He did not provide further details.
“It will be released soon, possibly by the end of next week," he told the press at the Malaysia Skills Diploma and Perhebat Certificate Awards Ceremony at the Sungai Buloh Camp today.
Earlier reports indicated that the Cabinet extensively deliberated on the helicopter incident at the Navy Base in Perak and pledged to deliver an interim report within two weeks and the full report within a month.
In the 9.32am incident, seven crew of the Maritime Operations Helicopter (HOM-AW139) and three Navy Fennec crew were killed when the helicopters crashed during a flypast rehearsal for the Navy's 90th anniversary celebration.
