Kid Goes to School by Helicopter in Shah Alam, PDRM Refers the Case to Civil Aviation Authority of M’sia

Go big or go home. A parent recently took a step that was a little too big by sending his child to school in a helicopter. Yes, a helicopter. 

A video that shows a helicopter flying off from a field went viral on social media back in April this year but it has been circulating again recently when PDRM responded to the matter. According to Shah Alam’s Chief of Police, Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim, the incident took place on 17 April at Bukit Bandaraya Seksyen U11, Setia Alam.

Iqbal said that the police investigated the matter after they received an official report from the Head of the Internal Security and Public Order Division of IPD Shah Alam regarding the matter.

“The case is classified as Refer Other Agency (ROA), and it will be referred to the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) for further actions,” Iqbal said in a statement yesterday (June 13).

The helicopter stopped on the field for around 15 minutes near Setia Eco Park and aside from the viral clip, the image of the father with his kid just outside the helicopter also circulated on social media.

According to another report by Kosmo, it was not the 1st time the same helicopter had landed at the same place. It happened once prior to that incident in April but none of the residents nearby managed to record the incident when it happened for the first time.

At the time of writing (June 14), CAAM has yet to respond to the matter. You can watch the viral clip below.

There are always rules and regulations that we’re expected to follow when it comes to flying an air-travel vehicle and landing it in public space, as it may affect the safety of others. We shall wait and see what CAAM has to say about this matter.
