PETALING JAYA: Sabah Air, the airline involved in the Double Six tragedy, was operating illegally and there was a squabble among two senior men, one of whom had been just removed from his position.
Then chief minister Tun Fuad Stephens might also have unintentionally put Capt Gandhi Nathan as the pilot despite the latter’s “sub-standard ability” while the co-pilot was removed to make way for Fuad’s son Johari.
Malaysia’s report on the disaster, released on April 12, also pointed to too much weight in the aft of the plane and errors by the pilot Nathan could have led to the tragedy. Nadan was among those laid off by Fuad after he took office as chief minister for a second time in the state election six weeks prior to the tragedy.
The report disclosed that there could be truth in Nadan’s statements following a study on Nathan’s log book that found that many more flight checks had been carried out than there were flight test reports.The report also said the co-pilot who was supposed to fly with Nathan left the plane to make space for Johari.“The 10th passenger was the son of the chief minister and he was an inexperienced student pilot.
