KOTA BARU: Pas has called on the relevant authorities to carry out an in-depth investigation into today's fatal crash involving two Royal Malaysian Navy helicopters.
Pas information chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari said an immediate investigation needed to be carried out to identify the reasons behind the incident.
"This is important so that appropriate follow-up actions can be taken. Today is a sad day not only for the families of the victims involved but also for all members of the Royal Malaysian Navy as well as Malaysians in general.
"We also would like to express our deep condolences to those who have lost their family members. May the victim's family members be patient with this unexpected test," he said in a statement.
Two Royal Malaysian Navy helicopters crashed today following a mid-air collision in Lumut, Perak. All 10 on board the helicopters died in the incident.
The helicopters, an Agusta Westland AW139 maritime operations helicopter (HOM) and a Eurocopter Fennec, collided during a mid-air manoeuvre during a flypast training for the RMN's 90th anniversary celebrations.
