KOTA KINABALU: The declassification of the Double Six tragedy report serves as a sign that further initiatives will be implemented to ensure transparent and open governance in Sabah and the federation's relationship with the state, says a think tank.
Institute for Development Studies chief executive officer Datuk Dr Ramzah Dambul said the declassified report is hoped to offer solace and closure for those directly and indirectly involved with the incident, even if it has taken 47 years.
"Although the tragedy has passed, the consequences and strong sentiment will remain a permanent fixture in the Sabahan psyche", Ramzah said. "We also would like to laud the openness and transparency of the Federal Government and we hope there will be a prevailing attitude of upholding these key principles in paving the way forward, thus increasing the people's confidence in good governance," he said.
