FPMPAM seeks national committee on occupational risk after Long Lellang crash
The Federation of Private Medical Practitioners' Associations Malaysia has proposed a time-limited National Inter-Agency Committee on Occupational Risk Protection for Frontline Public Personnel after the Flying Doctor Service helicopter crash at Long Lellang, Sarawak, on September 8, 2026, which killed a pilot and four Health Ministry personnel. FPMPAM says the review should cover insurance, compensation, hazardous-duty allowances, safety requirements and liability waivers, and involve multiple ministries, agencies and the Sabah and Sarawak state governments.
