Kota Kinabalu: Family members of some of the 11 who died in the June 6, 1976 Nomad plane crash are grateful to the Unity Federal Cabinet, particularly Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, for Wednesday’s decision to declassify the reports on the tragedy’s findings after 47 years, by next week.
While hoping that the decision would put to rest all uncertainties and conspiracy theories that have cropped up the last four decades, they also hoped the Australian Government would do likewise regarding their findings as to how and why the Australian-built plane crashed minutes before landing in Sembulan that fateful day.
In the incident, Tun Fuad Stephens, who had been sworn in as chief minister just 53 days earlier, died along with 10 others, including state ministers.
