The Malaysian Government has re-called its envoy Wan Zaidi Wan Abdullah just days before Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib Razak arrives in Sri Lanka for a two-day official visit.
Diplomatic sources in Colombo said a high level team from the Malaysian Foreign Ministry will arrive as an advance party to help in Premier Najib’s
visit. Though the recall itself is due to a serious issue, these sources were unaware of what exactly triggered the visit of the advanced party before the Malaysian PM arrived.
Premier Najib Razak and an official entourage are due to arrive in Colombo on the night of December 17 and depart on 19.
A Sri Lanka Air Force Bell 212 helicopter belonging to the No. 72 squadron has crashed into the Madhuru Oya reservoir this morning, Air FOrce Media Spokesman Eranda Geeganage said.
Update: Five of the twelve passengers on board the bell 212 aircraft that crashed into the Maduru Oya today, have succumbed to their injuries, the SLAF said.
