RMAF Hawk 108 crash update
Malaysian Defence Minister Najib Tun Razak has ruled out that the Hawks suffered from serious defects in view of recent crashes.

In the mean time, CN235 and B200 aircraft and Nuri helicopters have also been deployed to search for the pilot.

Air Force chief Jen Datuk Seri Nik Ismail Nik Mohamed said operations are being conducted over land as there is a possibility that the pilot’s parachute may have floated inland after ejection.

The pilot in the other Hawk had picked up a five-second signal ELT signal after the crash.
