Father says doctor killed in helicopter crash returned to Sarawak just two days ago

The article reports on the tragic helicopter crash in Sarawak that resulted in the death of all five individuals on board, including Dr. Ainul Baroah, a dedicated medical officer serving at Miri Hospital.

Her father, Kamarudin Salleh, recounts the last moments spent with his daughter, noting her kind demeanor and commitment to her family and work.

The helicopter crash, confirmed by the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia, occurred near the Long Lellang STOL airport during a Flying Doctor Service flight.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Dzulkefly Ahmad acknowledged the service-related duties performed by the personnel onboard.

KOTA BHARU, Sept 9 — The father of one of the victims of the helicopter crash in Sarawak, Kamarudin Salleh, said he last met his daughter, Dr Ainul Baroah, when she came home for the school holidays before returning to Sarawak on Sunday.

Kamarudin, 69, said his daughter was quiet, kind towards her family and always willing to help.

“She was her usual self, always smiling and not saying much. She spend time with her nieces and nephews and the family,” he told reporters at his home in Kampung Baung, Pengkalan Chepa, here last night.

Kamarudin said he received news of the incident at 5 pm yesterday from one of his daughter’s parents-in-law.

He said the family had yet to receive confirmation of Dr Ainul Baroah’s condition at the time, before his son-in-law contacted him to confirm his daughter’s passing.

“My daughter worked at Miri Hospital and had been serving in Sarawak for almost two years. Before that, she worked for about two years in Tanah Merah,” said the retired teacher.

Kamaruddin said his daughter’s responsibilities included monitoring patients in several areas, including Baram, which required her to travel by helicopter about once a week.

Meanwhile, Dr Ainul Baroah’s mother, retired teacher Rogayah Mohd Noor, 69, described her daughter as kind and said she had never caused problems for the family since she was a child.

“She was a good daughter. When she came home recently, we noticed that she seemed different from usual. Her face appeared radiant, and there was something different about her,” she added.

Earlier, the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) confirmed in a statement that the BO-105 helicopter, which was carrying five people, including the pilot, and operating a Flying Doctor Service flight, crashed near the Long Lellang Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) airport, about 929 kilometres north of Kuching.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said the helicopter, which departed from Miri, was operated by a pilot and carried a medical officer, an assistant medical officer, and two nurses on official duty.

Meanwhile, Miri Division Resident and chairman of the Miri Division Disaster Management Committee Galong Luang confirmed that all those on board were killed in the incident, which occurred at about 3.40 pm. — Bernama

这篇文章报道了发生在砂拉越的一起悲惨的直升机坠毁事故，机上五人全部遇难，其中包括在美里医院工作的尽职尽责的医务人员艾努尔·巴罗阿医生。

她的父亲卡马鲁丁·萨利赫回忆起与女儿共度的最后时光，称赞她性格温和，对家庭和工作尽心尽力。

马来西亚民航局证实，直升机坠毁事件发生在龙莱朗短距起降机场附近，当时该直升机正在执行飞行医生服务任务。

卫生部长拿督斯里祖基菲里·艾哈迈德对船上人员履行服务职责表示认可。

哥打巴鲁，9月9日讯——砂拉越直升机坠毁事故遇难者之一的父亲卡马鲁丁·萨利赫表示，他最后一次见到女儿艾努尔·巴罗阿博士是在她放假回家的时候，之后她于周日返回砂拉越。

69岁的卡马鲁丁说，他的女儿性格安静，对家人很友善，总是乐于助人。

“她还是老样子，总是面带微笑，话不多。她和侄子侄女以及家人一起度过了很多时光，”他昨晚在位于彭加兰芝巴县甘榜包恩的家中告诉记者。

卡马鲁丁说，他昨天下午 5 点从他女儿的岳父母那里得知了这起事件。

他说，当时家人尚未收到艾努尔·巴罗阿医生病情的确认信息，之后他的女婿联系他，确认了他女儿去世的消息。

这位退休教师说：“我女儿曾在美里医院工作，在砂拉越服务了近两年。在此之前，她还在丹那美拉工作了大约两年。”

卡马鲁丁说，他女儿的职责包括监测多个地区的病人，包括巴拉姆，这需要她每周乘坐直升机前往巴拉姆一次。

与此同时，艾努尔·巴罗阿博士的母亲，69岁的退休教师罗加雅·莫哈末·努尔形容她的女儿心地善良，并表示女儿从小到大从未给家里惹过麻烦。

“她一直是个好女儿。最近她回家时，我们注意到她和平时不太一样。她容光焕发，整个人都有些异样，”她补充道。
