Transport minister Anthony Loke has said the special task force formed to investigate the fatal crash that killed nine Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) personnel in Teluk Intan, Perak has been given 30 days from May 15, 2025 to submit a preliminary report to his ministry, reports Bernama.
The task force, which commenced its investigation into the May 13 accident, comprises various experts and representatives from key agencies, and is chaired by the ministry’s chief air accident inspector, brigadier general Tan Chee Kee.
“The ministry will ensure that every recommendation and finding submitted by the task force is thoroughly reviewed for appropriate follow-up at both policy and operational levels,” Loke said in a statement on Monday (May 19, 2025).
The task force was established to investigate the root cause of the incident, including identifying any systemic weaknesses in road safety measures. Additionally, it will also reassess existing guidelines, infrastructure and the application of safety technologies to help prevent similar incidents in the future.
Loke emphasised that the primary objective of the investigation is not to assign blame but to identify and address deficiencies in the current system. “This includes proposing systematic and effective improvement measures to ensure the safety of road users, particularly concerning heavy vehicles,” he said.
