Police call off search for ‘crashed’ aircraft in Penang until they get fresh leads

Monday, 21 Sep 2020 08:31 PM MYT

Northeast District Police chief ACP Soffian Santong said today the police and other agencies will resume the search and rescue operation if there are new clues to back the claim by several people who were on the beach at 2pm yesterday. He said the police also questioned a beach boy but he said he did not see any aircraft crash into the sea while Marine Police Force personnel monitoring the area said anglers and fishermen there at that time did not see anything either.

“The police also checked with the CAAM and, until today, all planes that took off returned or arrived safely at their destinations. A yellow helicopter that was reported to have been seen before the time of the alleged incident near Penang waters also reached Subang safely. So, it was not the helicopter that originated from Kedah that was involved in the incident,” he said.
