LABUAN: The appeal by the Attorney General’s Chambers against the High Court decision ordering the Government to declassify the Double Six Nomad aircraft crash report by June 8, this year, does not reflect the transparency and accountability slogan of the new Unity Government.

“First the appeal filed by the AG does not do justice to the families, next of kin and friends of those who lost their loved ones in the ill-fated incident and who had been patiently waiting 46 years for the answer as to how and why it happened.

“Second, the appeal is also puzzling as the new Unity Government keeps saying that it is going to be different from previous governments by being more open, transparent and accountable,” said activist George Elias, who lost his cousin Datuk Peter Mojuntin, in the crash.
