PUTRAJAYA: The final report on the crash of the Beechcraft Premier 1 aircraft in Elmina, Shah Alam, Selangor, on Aug 17 last year will be released in a few days, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook.

"The report will be issued in the next couple of days, before the one year anniversary," he said when asked about the progress of the report, here on Wednesday (Aug 14).
