KUANTAN: The Transport Ministry’s Air Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has completed its investigations at the site where a helicopter crashed on landing at Batu 9, Jalan Lama Bentong-Kuala Lumpur.
Bentong district police chief Supt Zaiham Mohd Kahar said the bureau completed its on-site work at around 3.30pm yesterday.
He said police and AAIB have handed over the aircraft wreckage to MHS Aviation Bhd for further action.
“I can only confirm that AAIB was present at the crash site, conducted its investigation and has concluded it. As for the aircraft wreckage, my team and AAIB have handed it over to MHS Aviation,” he told Bernama.
The accident involved a Bell 206L4 helicopter, which overturned and caught fire while landing to refuel.
It claimed the life of an Indonesian ground crew member, engineer Finsen Reskey Sembiring, 27, who was struck by the helicopter’s rotor blades.
The Indonesian pilot survived.
According to Supt Zaiham, Hospital Bentong completed the engineer’s autopsy at 3pm yesterday.
He said the hospital report stated that the victim’s death was caused by a “rotor blade crush injury of the head due to a helicopter crash”.
A check at Hospital Bentong found several individuals, believed to be representatives from the victim’s company, waiting to obtain the autopsy results.
They declined to be interviewed. On Thursday, the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia said AAIB would conduct further investigations under Part XXVI of the Civil Aviation Regulations 2016.

SEGAMAT: Sebanyak 76 keluarga di kawasan Parlimen Sekijang yang terjejas akibat ribut pada November lalu, menerima Bantuan Wang Ihsan (BWI) membabitkan peruntukan berjumlah RM76,000, hari ini.
Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri (Wilayah Persekutuan), Dr Zaliha Mustafa, berkata setiap keluarga terbabit memperoleh bantuan RM1,000 sebagai sokongan kewangan untuk meringankan beban mereka.
Beliau yang juga Ahli Parlimen Sekijang berkata, Kerajaan MADANI bukan saja komited mempercepatkan bantuan kepada mangsa bencana, malah turut memperkukuh sistem amaran awal, usaha mitigasi serta kesiapsiagaan dalam menghadapi fenomena cuaca ekstrem yang semakin kerap berlaku.
"Saya turun padang sejurus kejadian ribut itu bagi menilai sendiri keadaan mangsa serta mendengar keluhan mereka.
"Saya juga segera berbincang dengan Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi yang merangkap Menteri bertanggungjawab kepada Agensi Pengurusan Bencana Negara (NADMA), bagi memastikan bantuan ini dapat disalurkan secepat mungkin," katanya pada majlis penyerahan BWI berkenaan di Dewan Komuniti, Pejabat Daerah Segamat.
Dr Zaliha turut memaklumkan bahawa garis panduan BWI oleh NADMA telah dikemas kini bagi meluaskan skop penerima bantuan, hasil perbincangan bersama Ahmad Zahid pada November lalu.
"Sebelum ini, bantuan berkenaan hanya diberi kepada mangsa banjir tetapi kini turut merangkumi mangsa bencana ribut dan banjir kilat.
"Ini adalah langkah proaktif kerajaan dalam usaha memastikan bantuan sampai kepada lebih ramai rakyat yang memerlukan.
"Kita juga berharap inisiatif ini dapat mengurangkan beban penerima serta memberikan keyakinan kepada rakyat bahawa kerajaan sentiasa prihatin terhadap kebajikan mereka," katanya.
Dalam pada itu, beliau meminta masyarakat lebih berwaspada dan peka terhadap amaran cuaca memandangkan kejadian ribut dan bencana alam semakin kerap berlaku akibat perubahan iklim.
"Pada masa sama, Kerajaan MADANI akan terus memperkukuhkan sistem pengurusan bencana bagi memastikan setiap mangsa mendapat bantuan dengan pantas dan adil," katanya.
Nibong Tebal: Kementerian Pendidikan (KPM) sedang mengenal pasti fasiliti sekolah di Sabah dan Sarawak yang terjejas banjir, selain mendapatkan jumlah kos kerosakan sebelum kerja membaik pulih dilaksanakan.
Menterinya, Fadhlina Sidek, berkata pihaknya menjangkakan kos pembaikan akan membabitkan peruntukan besar memandangkan banyak fasiliti sekolah terjejas termasuk ada mengalami kerugian total.
Katanya, banyak lokasi tidak pernah banjir sebelum ini, tetapi terjejas kerana situasi di luar jangka.
“Banyak tempat sebenarnya tidak pernah banjir, tetapi berlaku banjir. Dalam hal ini, ada sekolah yang memang total loss dan sekarang ini kita sedang mengenal pasti keseluruhan premis yang terbabit, begitu juga dengan kos (sedang dihitung).
“Kita jangka kos memang sangat besar kerana berdasarkan pemantauan awal menunjukkan premis terbabit banjir ini sangat banyak.
“Pada masa sama, berbaki lagi seminggu sesi persekolahan baharu akan dibuka, kita perlu segera membuat persiapan untuk membereskan (sekolah yang terjejas) supaya persekitaran lebih kondusif,” katanya.
Fadhlina berkata, sekiranya situasi banjir tidak reda apabila sesi persekolahan baharu dibuka, pihak sekolah perlu melaksanakan sistem Pembelajaran dan Pengajaran di Rumah (PDPR).
“Bagaimanapun, kita berdoa cuaca akan bertambah baik dan proses pembersihan sekolah dapat kita laksanakan dan operasi sekolah berlangsung seperti biasa,” katanya.
As floodwaters surged around her home in Kampung Ulu Mawao, Membakut, Maria Alex lay helpless, clinging to hope for a miracle to reach her life-saving dialysis treatment.
The 48-year-old, who is partially paralysed, urgently needed medical attention at Beaufort District Hospital. But with roads submerged and flood currents growing stronger, the odds of making it out seemed grim. Then, help arrived.
A team of four Civil Defence Force (APM) personnel answered the distress call, wading through the rising waters to reach her.
Carefully, they lifted Maria onto a stretcher and carried her through the flood-stricken village to their waiting ambulance. She was safely transported to the hospital at 11.09am yesterday.
“She’s safe now, and that’s all that matters,” said one of the rescuers, who braved thigh-deep waters to bring her to safety.
