Dzulkefly faces resignation calls over fatal Flying Doctor helicopter crash
A fatal Flying Doctor Service helicopter crash in Long Lellang, Ulu Baram, Sarawak killed a pilot and four Health Ministry staff, prompting public calls for Health Minister Dzulkefly Ahmad to resign. Critics cited the RM30 air health incentive unchanged since 1978, the 35-year-old BO-105 helicopter, and the minister's press conference, which was broadcast live on Facebook. Putrajaya has promised ex-gratia payments while the Sarawak government announced RM100,000 for each victim's family.
