KLANG: A Robinson R66 Turbine helicopter that crashed while trying to land in an open area near the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) in Pulau Indah this morning is believed to have been conducting flight training, says South Klang District Police chief ACP Shamsul Amar Ramli.
He said the helicopter’s pilot lost control during a hover training session, and the aircraft crashed from a height of about four metres.
“Following that, the helicopter overturned and the tail end was pulled out and thrown about 20 meters from the body of the helicopter.
“The victims, namely the pilot and passenger aged 73 and 53 respectively, were only slightly injured and received follow-up treatment at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang,“ he said in a statement here today.

“The cartel buys the meat at up to 50 per cent cheaper than meat obtained from certified slaughterhouses and processing plants.
“The meat would then be shipped to Malaysia and ferried out via trucks and lorries to cartel warehouses, where it is mixed with certified halal meat.
“Coupled with it avoiding taxes and the procedures involved in importing certified halal meat, the cartel stands to make a healthy profit,” said a source.
It is understood that the cartel takes delivery of frozen imported meat at least three times a week from abroad.
The meat, imported from countries whose halal certifications are not recognised by Malaysian authorities, would arrive via ships at Malaysian ports.
