Perak health director Dr Feisul Idzwan Mustapha said of the six, five are being treated at Teluk Intan Hospital (HTI) and the other at the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital (HRPB), Ipoh.

“Of the five patients currently receiving treatment at HTI, four are in the ICU. The other is in the surgical ward, where his condition is improving and he may be discharged soon,” he said when met by reporters at HTI today.

Feisul said those in the ICU are showing good progress, with one of them requiring close observation.

Earlier, the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Shah, met the family members of the FRU personnel at the hospital.

Meanwhile, on the condition of the FRU officer in the ICU of HRPB, Feisul said he is beginning to regain consciousness and is showing good progress, despite suffering serious injuries.

In the incident at 8.50am last Tuesday, nine FRU members were killed and nine others were injured after the truck they were in was involved in an accident with a gravel-laden lorry on Jalan Chikus-Sungai Lampam while on the way back from here to the base in Sungai Senam in Ipoh.
