5 Injured After Malaysia Police Helicopter Crashes Into River

A police-owned AS355 helicopter crashed near the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) Jetty in Gelang Patah on Thursday morning. There were no fatalities. The aircraft crashed while the officers were performing a ceremonial flypast as part of the Mitsatom 2025 exercises (Multilateral Nuclear Security Detection Exercise) involving Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore. Per reports, tenders were issued early November to replace five Airbus AS355N helicopters operated by the Royal Malaysia Police. The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia confirmed the crash involved an AS355N helicopter. They stated that the helicopter started from the Tanjung Kupang police station at 9:51am with five officers on board, including the pilot. Although all five officers in the aircraft needed immediate medical attention, two out of five officers in the aircraft are reportedly in a critical condition requiring respiratory assistance.
