Representatives from 25 agencies, including the Putrajaya Air Accident Investigation Bureau, Royal Malaysian Navy, and Fire and Rescue Department, attended the session.
An integrated operations command centre has been established near the crash site to oversee rescue, safety, and medical operations. Authorities inspected the wreckage location by boat to assess technical and safety requirements before the hoisting begins.
Royal Malaysian Navy divers will conduct preliminary dives to examine the wreckage and equipment. An ambulance remains on standby for emergencies.

Public urged to use 997 hotline for scam response from September
KULAI: The public, especially victims of online scams, are urged to use the 997 hotline, which will operate 24 hours as the National Scam Response Centre (NSRC) under the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) from September. Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching said the move is expected to improve assistance for victims amid the rising trend of online scams, with 46,817 scam-related advertisements detected this year as of July 15. She said a call to 997 will now be treated as a police report, eliminating the need for victims to lodge a separate report at a police station. 'This will save victims time and hassle,' she told reporters after inspecting a concrete drainage project to address flash floods at Kampung Melayu Bukit Batu here today. Teo said 80 per cent of scam ads are detected on Facebook, often misusing names of high-profile individuals. Last year, 6,297 fraudulent ads were removed across social media platforms. She added she was also a victim when her photos were used in fake ads offering free books by the former Education Minister. 'Even after the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) removed the ads, other accounts uploaded the same scam. I am unhappy with Meta for allowing this to continue,' she said. - Bernama

Motoring Influencer, Brother Jailed And Fined For Lodging False Police Report
MUAR, July 25 (Bernama) -- Motoring influencer Tengku Nizaruddin Tengku Zainudin and his younger brother, Tengku Abdul Aziz, were each sentenced to one month's imprisonment and fined RM1,500 by the Magistrates' Court today for lodging a false police report. Magistrate Suzana Mokhtar imposed the sentence after both accused, Tengku Nizaruddin, 38, also known as "Ija", and Tengku Abdul Aziz, 30, pleaded guilty to their respective charges. The court ordered the jail term to commence today and ruled that both men would serve an additional three months' imprisonment if they failed to pay the fine. According to the charge, Tengku Nizaruddin was accused of abetting his brother by instructing him to provide false information to a police officer, claiming that the accused had gone missing and was uncontactable since 4 pm on July 14. He was charged under Section 109 of the Penal Code, which provides for a maximum jail term of six months, or a fine not exceeding RM2,000, or both, upon conviction. Tengku Abdul Aziz was separately charged under Section 182 of the Penal Code with providing false information to a police officer regarding the alleged disappearance of his brother at 11.38 pm on July 14, at the Lenga police station enquiry office. Deputy public prosecutors Nur Ameerah Allaudeen and Yasmin Mohd Piah urged the court to impose both imprisonment and a fine on the accused, citing the seriousness of the offence, which had wasted the manpower and resources of the Royal Malaysia Police and the Muar Fire and Rescue Department, and undermined their efforts. 'This is a common offence that is frequently committed. Given the public attention this case has received, we hope it will serve as a deterrent to others,' they said. In mitigation, lawyer Nor Hafizah Abdullah from the National Legal Aid Foundation, representing both accused, pleaded for a fine, stating that her clients had expressed remorse, apologised to the police and fire department, and had cooperated fully with the authorities.

Trailer stops on Second Link due to tyre puncture before being rear-ended
JOHOR BARU: A trailer carrying chemicals plunged into the sea after it was rear-ended while parked on the Second Link bridge due to a tyre puncture. Iskandar Puteri police chief, Assistant Commissioner M. Kumarasan, said both drivers involved in the crash at Km0.8 of the Plus highway's Second Link northbound stretch sustained minor injuries. "Preliminary investigations revealed that a trailer carrying an ISO tank had stopped on the left lane of the bridge due to a punctured tyre. "Another trailer travelling behind it collided into the rear right side of the stationary vehicle, causing it to swerve and the ISO tank it was transporting to fall into the sea. "Both drivers suffered minor injuries," he said in a statement today. The case is being investigated under Section 43 of the Road Transport Act 1987. Kumarasan urged anyone with information on the incident to contact the Iskandar Puteri Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Division (BSPTD) at 07-5101322. Earlier today, it was reported that a chemical container had fallen into the sea following a crash involving two trailers on the bridge. One trailer was transporting propylene glycol, while the other carried sodium hypochlorite. The ISO tank containing propylene glycol plunged into the sea. However, authorities confirmed that there was no leakage from the tank, and no surface foam, oil slicks or bubbles were observed. The Johor Fire and Rescue Department's hazardous materials (Hazmat) unit was deployed to the scene as a precautionary measure to monitor for any signs of contamination.
