PM Orders Probe into RMAF Hornet Jet Crash in Kuantan

[Captain Flack]

 

Malaysia Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has called for a "thorough probe” into the crash of a Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) fighter jet at an airport in Kuantan, Pahang on August  21, night even as he expressed concern for the two servicemen involved. 
 

This is purportedly the first major crash involving the two-seat F/A-18D Hornet fighter jet since it entered service in 1997, local media reported. 
 

 

No casualties were reported in the Thursday incident.

 

“The authorities are urged to conduct a thorough probe to identify the cause of the incident and ensure appropriate safety measures are taken,” Anwar said in a post on X on Friday morning.
