00:00The wife of former Pelanggai Assemblyman Johari Harun, who died along with two others in a plane crash near Elmina, Selangor in August 2023, has filed a negligence suit against the operator of the light aircraft.
00:13In the statement of claim dated August 15, the plaintiffs, Johari's wife, Mazia Sudin, as well as Tengku Erina Ungku Abdul Malek and Nizatul Akmar Nasir, who are the spouses of the two other victims, named jet valet Sendirian Berhad and its parent entity, Kooperasi Amanah Pelaburan Berhad, as defendants.
00:35They are seeking special, general, aggravated and or exemplary damages, in addition to costs related to their husbands' funerals and bereavement.
00:45They allege that the defendants failed to register the plane with the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia and did not obtain the required approval for non-scheduled air services or for carrying passengers, as mandated by law.
00:59The defendants have also been accused of allowing the pilot to occupy the right seat of the plane, contrary to flight manual requirements, and permitting an unqualified second-in-command to occupy the left seat and perform critical pre-landing checklist duties.
01:16Furthermore, the plaintiffs allege that the defendants have exploited regulatory grey areas to avoid stringent oversight and necessary approvals.
01:26The business jet, with eight people on board, crashed off the Gufri Corridor Expressway in Bandar Elmina on August 17, 2023, killing 10, including Johari and two road users.
