Fire and Rescue Department, police personnel as well as rescue personnel were joined by Gombak MP Datuk Seri Azmin Ali at the scene. Azmin was notified of the accident while attending a programme in Bukit Antarabangsa this morning.

“It is an unfortunate event. There are casualties but we have yet to ascertain how many,” he said, adding that the other helicopter landed safely. “We hope the relevant authorities such as the Fire and Rescue Department as well as the police can investigate the matter thoroughly. We will wait for more information as the investigation continues.”
