Muhammad Faiz Abdul Malik, 37, lost his wife Dr. Ainul Baraah Kamarudin in the September 8th disaster, among five other fatalities. While the preliminary findings are out, Faiz isn't satisfied. He informed that the final report will take more time. However, he expressed hope for its prompt release and transparency in the findings. The Air Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) released a preliminary report on Friday, stating the investigation is ongoing. They gathered the initial batch of factual data covering flight operations, standard operating procedures, and the helicopter's maintenance history. The AAIB confirmed no issues with the aircraft's structure, maintenance, or pilot. The crash claimed the lives of Captain Zainol Afiq Bee Sham, 30, Dr. Ainul, 33, Alexson Adit Henry, 31, and nurses Debra Moset, 40, and Jessie Paya Jok, 44.",
