Six people were on board the helicopter, comprising the pilot, Captain Clifford William Fournier, the operations assistant, Aidana Baizieva, Tan Sri Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis and his bodyguard Raza B Seran, Datuk Sri Azlin Alias and Dato 'Tan Huat Seang.

On a personal note, I am struck by this tragic news, as Tan Sri Dr Jamaluddin and Datuk Sri Chloe were both colleagues of mine whom I knew personally. This is indeed a great loss and my thoughts and prayers are with their families and the families of the other victims during this tragic time.
