“The family has been trying to find peace ever since the tragedy,” said Datuk Donald Mojuntin, the eldest of Mojuntin’s five children.The family had hoped the 47th anniversary this year would be remembered in a better way with the release of the investigation report but that hope has fallen flat.
“There were also claims by eyewitnesses that there was an explosion before the plane crashed into the sea.The 20-page report stated that there was no evidence of “sabotage, fire or explosion” in the crash of the Australian-made Nomad N-22B 9M-ATZ aircraft. “What is important is for us to find out more about the crash,” said Donald, who is also the deputy president of Upko, a Pakatan Harapan component party.
“To me, there’s nothing new,” said the 77-year-old at the family’s residence in Kampung Hungab, Penampang. Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister Datuk Ewon Benedick, who handed over the official investigation report to the Mojuntin family yesterday, said the government had yet to receive an official request from the families over the probe.“Maybe the report was different from what the people had expected but my role was to convince the Cabinet to release the report. I have carried out my responsibility.
