GENERAL JOHOR BAHRU, July 13 (Bernama) -- The wreckage of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) helicopter that crashed in Sungai Pulai, Gelang Patah last Thursday is expected to be retrieved soon, possibly by tomorrow or the following day.

He added that the communication recording device is also believed to still be inside the wreckage. 'It is believed to still be in the helicopter. It records communication between the helicopter and the ground team. Technically, it's not a black box - it's referred to as a helicopter communication device,' he said. Meanwhile, HSA deputy director II Dr C. Mitesh said all five victims of the helicopter crash, including two being treated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), were in stable condition. He said Constable R. G. Devendran remained sedated and required respiratory assistance, while Corporal Adeline Liu Yan Siu, who did not need such assistance, was under observation in the ICU. 'The three other victims, who are in stable condition in the general ward, are also under observation, including by an orthopaedic specialist, as some sustained injuries that require further care.
