Shahdon Poong, responsible for Layang Layang Aerospace Sdn Bhd, said the helicopter was not performing any service for the Ministry of Health or Sarawak Health Department during the flight.

He added that the landing was a precautionary measure and not an emergency landing. "The flight controller had informed the Bintulu air traffic control about the situation at the time of landing." He further confirmed that the helicopter crew, including two technicians, were safe during the landing and no injuries were reported.

Chief Superintendent Bintulu Nixon Joshua Ali stated earlier today that an FDS helicopter made an emergency landing after experiencing a minor technical problem during its flight from Sibu to Miri. He said the helicopter was en route to Miri to join a display program when the incident occurred around 3:20 pm.
