The operation to retrieve the AS355N helicopter with registration number 9M-PHG began early this morning and the wreckage was lifted from the seabed at 11am.
The wreckage was lifted using a crane vessel and several police assets.
Among the agencies involved were the Royal Malaysian Navy, the Region Two Marine Police and the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency.
Bernama's observations at the site from 7.30am found that preparations for the operation were carried out meticulously before the wreckage was gradually hoisted and later brought to a nearby jetty.
The helicopter crashed last Thursday while participating in the Multilateral Nuclear Security Detection Exercise (MITSATOM) 2025 involving Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore, held at the Gelang Patah Maritime Jetty.
All five on board were injured in the incident, and they have been reported to be in stable condition. - BERNAMA
