KOTA KINABALU: Along with the families of the victims of the “Double Six” plane crash, one man is eagerly awaiting the release of the incident’s full report to put an end to what he calls 46 years of “slander” against his alleged involvement in the incident.
Former Sabah chief minister Tan Sri Harris Salleh , who succeeded Tun Fuad Stephens in the position after the latter and 10 others perished in the crash involving the Australian-made Nomad 9M-ATZ aircraft, said he hoped the report would be declassified in its full form next week.
“These leaders have continued their slandering despite meagre statements by the Malaysian government as to the reasons for the crash and the production of a documentary video prepared by an investigative Australian reporter,” he added.Harris said this documentary, presented to the Sabah High Court, was aired in 1995 on Australian TV 7 under its programme Four Corners. The episode was titled Lies in the Sky.
“I hope those Sabah leaders who accused me of involvement will accept whatever findings are in the investigation report surrounding the crash and stop harbouring and propagating their unproven conspiracies,” he said. On Sept 26, 2017, the Federal Court ordered Sabah Progressive Party president Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee to pay Harris RM600,000 in damages for defamation over the “Double Six” plane crash.
“The Malaysian government has denied this. It is hoped the Australian government will release its report now that our government has decided to declassify the Malaysian investigation report,” he added.
