Declassification of Double Six tragedy report a relief

KOTA KINABALU: The Federal Cabinet’s decision to declassify the final report on the  Double Six plane crash that killed 11 people including the Berjaya State Government  leader Tun Fuad Stephens in 1976 is a relief, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima  Haji Hajiji Haji Noor. 

“This is a relief because it will unravel what actually happened on that day. A relief not  only to the family of those who perished in the plane crash but also to the people of  Sabah,” he said. 

The Chief Minister was commenting on the announcement by Prime Minister Datuk Seri  Anwar on the Federal Cabinet’s decision to allow the declassification of documents  which has been under wraps for 47 years.  

“The State Government will accept the findings of the report with an open heart,” he said.
