Govt not suspending Fennec, HOM helicopter operations despite fatal Lumut crash: Khaled

Defence minister ensures services will continue despite recent tragedy that killed 10 navy officers and personnel

KUALA TERENGGANU – Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said the government has no plans to temporarily suspend the Fennec and HOM helicopter services.

“So far, it’s not in that direction (temporary suspension),” he told reporters after completing the handover of Rumah Kasih Ihsan at Kg Dusun Tembakau in Manir, near here today.

Khaled said this when asked if there was a need to suspend the services of both types of helicopters following the crash on Tuesday morning involving the maritime operations helicopter (HOM-AW139) and Fennec helicopter (M502-6) at the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) base in Lumut, Perak, which killed 10 RMN officers and personnel, including three women.

All the remains of the crew who died in the crash had been laid to rest, with the last body, Lieutenant T. Sivasutan, 31, cremated at the Manjung Hindu Sabha Sanathana Dharma Ashram Crematorium Centre in Sitiawan at 12.15pm on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Khaled confirmed that the wreckage of the two aircraft, including the black box, was removed from the scene of the incident on Thursday.

“I was informed that everything has been moved to the place where the investigation is being carried out,” he said.

Khaled said the investigation into the incident conducted by an investigation board established by RMN will also involve the Royal Malaysian Air Force and other experts, including the helicopter manufacturers.

He did not rule out the possibility that the investigation would involve external experts. – April 27, 2024
