TWO crew members of a Royal Malaysian Navy (TLDM) helicopter involved in an emergency landing at Klebang Beach will be transferred to 96 Armed Forces Hospital (HAT) in Lumut, Perak, for continued medical care.

Senior Chief Technician Marine Srimala Mohammad Zullfika Mohiddi, who sustained injuries to his waist and right calf, is currently receiving treatment in the Yellow Zone of the Emergency and Trauma Department at Hospital Melaka.

“Mohammad Zullfika is expected to be transferred to 96 Armed Forces Hospital for further treatment,” said Datuk Ngwe Hee Sem, Melaka’s State Executive Councillor for Health, Human Resources and Unity, in a statement on Friday.

Lieutenant Commander Afiq Muzani Abdul Aziz remains under close monitoring in the Intensive Care Unit at Hospital Melaka after suffering pulmonary complications.

Hee Sem noted that Afiq Muzani will also be moved to 96 Armed Forces Hospital once his condition stabilises.

The emergency occurred on Wednesday evening at approximately 10:50 p.m., when a TLDM Super Lynx helicopter made a precautionary landing at sea off Klebang Beach during a demonstration flight to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Malaysian Army’s Special Forces Group (GGK).

All four crew members aboard the aircraft were rescued and transported to Hospital Melaka for medical evaluation.

Authorities have confirmed that all personnel are now in stable condition, and the transfers are part of standard medical protocol to ensure comprehensive care.

The incident underscores the risks inherent in military demonstration flights, even during carefully planned commemorative events. - January 2, 2026
