The wife of former Pelangai 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.
In the statement of claim dated Aug 15, the plaintiffs named Jet Valet Sdn Bhd and its parent company, Koperasi Amanah Pelaburan, as defendants.
The plaintiffs are Johari’s wife, Maziah Sudin, as well as Tengku Erina Ungku Abdul Malek and Nizatul Akmar Nasir, the spouses of the two other victims, Naim Muaidi and Khairil Azwan Jamaluddin.
