KUALA LUMPUR, April 23 (Bernama) -- Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has consented to the cancellation of the Royal Malaysian Navy’s (TLDM) 90th Anniversary celebrations and parade, which was scheduled for this Friday.
According to a post uploaded on the Selangor Royal Office Facebook page today, this decision follows the tragic incident involving two TLDM helicopters during a parade at the TLDM Lumut Base, Perak, earlier this morning, which claimed the lives of 10 TLDM personnel.
“Instead, a Yasin recital, tahlil and ‘doa selamat’ will be held at the An-Nur mosque at the TLDM base in Lumut before Friday prayers,” the post read.
The post also informed that Sultan Sharafuddin, as TLDM Captain-in-Chief, is expected to attend the event.
Earlier, TLDM confirmed the loss of 10 of its personnel in the tragedy, which happened at 9.32 am, involving seven crew members of the Maritime Operations Helicopter (HOM-AW139) and three crew members of the TLDM Fennec.
