IGB Corp founder Datuk Seri Robert Tan was not among the six people killed in a deadly helicopter crash in Semenyih yesterday, the firm confirmed today.

Tan was earlier reported to be on the flight due to confusion stemming from his shared name with Kedah businessman Datuk Robert Tan who was among the six people killed in the incident.

The mix-up was compounded by the fact that the Eurocopter AS365 N2 Dauphin in the crash was owned by IGB Corp.

“We can confirm that Datuk Seri Robert Tan of IGB Corp Bhd was NOT a passenger on the flight,” a company spokesman said in a statement.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the passengers and crew of the flight.”

Aside from the Kedah businessman, those killed in the crash include Rompin MP Tan Sri Jamaluddin Jarjis; the prime minister’s chief of staff, Datuk Azlin Alias; Cliff Fournier, the pilot and owner of Chempaka Aviation; Aidana Baizieva; and bodyguard Razakan Seran.


According to information provided by the Royal Malaysian Air Force, the helicopter was en route from Kuantan to Sungai Besi when it crashed at approximately 4.55pm yesterday.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has since ordered an immediate investigation into the incident.- Malay Mail

Here you go again. Authority cannot even know who is flying onboard and give a wrong statement?
Last time they are in chaos about the Malaysia Airlines and history repeated again now.

Well atleast they ded with the heli on flames. Noo need to burn any paper car or something. Surely they can reach the afterlife with that heli liao

Detour to eat satay kot?

Semenyih is below south of Kajang bro..

Boleland la

Itulah raba bontot orang lagi. The human law cNt get you but lex divina will

Helicopter crashed in sarawak years ago which included some state government officers blom share report dgn public lagi.

Kalo ada vvip trus cepat nak siasat.

hello is private, do u know all car passenger name list ???

It's the media that made mistake. The statement released by authority mentioned "Kedah businessman", no mention of IGB at all.
