Nuri Helicopter Wreckage Found
Wreckage of the RMAF Nuri helicopter reported missing since last Friday has been found at Gunung Bunga Buah at Genting Highlands at noon Tuesday, a spokesman of the Civil Defence Department (JPA3) said.
All six people on board the ill-fated helicopter have been confirmed killed. Preparations are being made to airlift the bodies to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital.
The aircraft carrying pilot Kapt Nor Azlan Termuzi, co-pilot Kapt Nor Intan Asykeen Mohd Arof, Sjn Khusnizam Ariffin, Sjn Mohd Azmie Md Yassin, Laskar Udara Kanan Saifulizam Alias and Laskar Muhammad Ridzuan Ahmad was on its way from the RMAF station in Sungai Besi to Kuantan when it lost communication with the control tower at 9.35am, 10 minutes after take-off.
I'm sure the whole nation is saddened by this loss and we convey our heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased.

Why ler we see news like this every two years..??Instead of buying submarines ,MINDEF should have considered upgrading the Nuris... too many incidents..too old...are we gonna learn anything from history?
My deepest condolences to the families of victims. We should have a thorough investigations into the causes of tragedies. 14 out 30 Nuris have fallen down since. The Defense Ministry should not keep on blaming human errors and bad weather. Look into the other aspects, especially if the copters had been properly maintained and correct spare parts had been used for replacement.
Agree with deeroy. I think the Nuri should be about 35+ years old. I am 47 years old and as long as I could remember, it was the same old Nuri! Why submarine? just because Singapore has it?
To think of it.. we don't even have an all-weather search and rescue heli! And we have some russian helicopter (bought by Police and later handed over to the Bomba) flying around doing absolutely nothing useful!
The things our wise politicians do... feel like throwing up!
