KUALA LUMPUR: The Defence Ministry has called on the public to not spread the video of the tragic Lumut helicopter crash in Perak, which killed 10 people, this morning.
Its minister Datuk Seri Khaled Nordin said this is important not only to respect the sensitivity of the families but also to avoid the matter from disrupting the investigation by the authorities into the incident.
Earlier today, two Malaysian Armed Forces helicopters collided mid-air in Lumut, Perak.
All crews in both helicopters perished during the incident.
The helicopter, an Agusta Westland AW139 Maritime Operations Helicopter (HOM) and a Eurocopter Fennec, had collided during a mid-air manoeuvre during a flypast training for the Royal Malaysian Navy's (RMN) 90th Anniversary celebrations.
