Comment by Joseph Lakai
Double Six tragedy, plane crash that took place in Kota Kinabalu on June 6, 1976, Sabah, Malaysia, killing all passengers includes Tun Fuad Stephens, Datuk Salleh Sulong, Datuk Peter Mojuntin, Chong Thien Vun, Darius Binion. Wahid Peter Andu, Dr Syed Hussein Wafa, Isak Atan, Corp. Said Mohammad and Johari Stephens including the pilot Captain Nathan Ghandi.
The main reasons behind the tragedy are volatile.
Immediately after the crash there were allegations of foul play due to the political circumstances at the time.
The Australian government sent a team of four investigators to assist in finding the cause of the accident. According to preliminary investigations indicated overloading was one of the contributing factors.
However the real reason for the crash remains a mystery meanwhile the original report on the incident remains classified until today. Many questions arise whether the air crash tragedy was the result of a mechanical problem or bomb or pilot error or problematic aircraft?
According to the National Archives of Australia, the Statement of reasons under section 40(5) of the archives act 1983 ¨C Including decision on access, has been released to the government of Malaysia but they have failed to publish the report to the people of Sabah.
Why? Now, the people of Sabah want to know why the 1976 report remains classified and not allowed to be published. What makes Tun Fuad's aircraft crashed? Was there a bomb on board the plane as claimed? Was the accident occurred as a result of mechanical failure as dubious?
Was it due to the overloading factor or Pilot error? If not, then why the Government of Malaysia never publish any investigation reports to the public?
For these reasons, an explanation of the tragedy must be disclosed. Sabahan want and should know the truth about what was really happened on June 6, 1976. Is the death of Tun Fuad Stephens and his Cabinet members was a mishap or sabotaged or a political conspiracy?
SABAHANs have every single right to demand the present Government of Malaysia with a logical explanation. We want the government to reveal the hidden story behind the scene.
Once SAPP is voted into power this coming election, the new state government of Sabah will demand the release from the Australian government their forensic findings on the NOMAD aircraft wreckage.

I don't have any proof, I wasn't born yet at the time, but my guess is they were all murdered. Why?
ReplyDelete1. Refusal to reveal the report.
2. Black box NEVER found (which is very very strange, did it evaporate into thin air? Did it teleport itself into another dimension? Very mysterious indeed).
3. Motive for murder (the billions of ringgit from the oil agreement).
4. Government people known for using force for personal gain and getting away with everything (for example using ISA which is imprisonment without trial, Project IC, letting their friends get away with inciting religious hatred, etc.)
I can only guess. If they think the lack of information is going to make me stop guessing and asking, they are wrong! Sabahans, don't let it go!
ini sajalah strategi politik sapp.. suka sangat mengambil kesempatan disebalik kesengsaraan orang lain.. dalam kata lain, suka mempolitikkan tragedi yang menimpa keluarga lain.. masa YTL berkuasa dulu, tidak ada pula apa2 tindakan diambil..
ReplyDeleteKesengsaraan orang lain? Ratusan billion ringgit dari minyak Sabah yang sepatutnya digunakan oleh orang Sabah yang diambil oleh penjajah dari seberang laut sesungguhnya juga mengsengsarakan saya!
DeleteIni bukanlah sekadar duit, ini adalah HIDUP dan POTENSI orang Sabah yang dirosakkan oleh mereka yang merompak, mencuri, dan memperbodohkan orang Sabah.
Isu ini harus ditanggani dan bukan sengaja dimainkan untuk tujuan politik.
DeleteTragedi yang tidak diingini.
DeleteInvestigation into the airplane crash that killed former chief minister Fuad Stephens and 10 others on June 6, 1976 should be reopened.
DeletePerkara ini telah lama berlaku, dan tetap akan di ingati sampai bila-bila, perkara ini tidak di jadikan bahan politik.
DeleteParti SAPP semacam kehilangan aura politik semenjak meninggalkan BN. Kekalahan presidennya Datuk Yong Teck Lee pada PRK Batu Sapi benar-benar memberi impak moral pada pemimpin parti itu. Isu 20 perkara serta isu PATI yang cuba diperjuangkan oleh SAPP tidak dapat menandingi strategi parti STAR yang mula mendapat sokongan terutama dari suku KDM.
ReplyDeleteYTL ditolak oleh rakyat di Sabah.
DeleteYTL masih tidak dapat kenal pasti kelemahannya.
DeleteAsyik2 isu yang sama diketengahkan oleh pembangkang.kalau bukan PRU tidak pula kedengaran.
DeleteTinggal Isu nahas pesawat Nomad yang cuba diputarkan kembali oleh SAPP. Itupun membawa memori hitam buat parti Cina itu bila Datuk Yong Teck Lee, pada Khamis lepas diminta oleh Mahkamah Tinggi Kota Kinabalu membayar sejumlah RM 1 Juta kepada mantan KM Sabah Tan Sri Haris Salleh ekoran dakwaan Yong yang berunsur fitnah mengenai kes double six itu.
ReplyDeleteSabahans need to know the truth behind the crash – now known as “Double Six” tragedy – which has never been satisfactorily explained.
Deletekenapa Joseph Lakai tidak bangkitkan saja semua kes kemalangan di negeri ini.. tiap2 hari ada kemalangan, kenapa tidak dipolitikkan?? mana tau ada unsur2 sabotaj dari BN..
ReplyDeleteKes kemalangan harus mencari puncanya dan bukan dihebohkan untuk kepentingan diri.
DeleteBN dicabar oleh pembangkang dengan ketat. Itulah BN tidak melaksanakan PRU13.
DeleteSebelum ini Yong Teck Lee cuba bangkitkan isu ini, tapi didakwa oleh Harris Salleh di Mahkamah.
DeleteYong Teck Lee diminta membayar RM1 million kepada Harris Salleh disebabkan isu ini.
DeleteJangan gunakan isu ini untuk kepentingan diri sendiri.
Deletenampak sangat SAPP bersikap double standard dalam membongkar sesuatu kebenaran.. kenapa hanya kes yang boleh dipolitikkan saja dibangkitkan oleh sapp??
ReplyDeleteThe only one who has double standard policies is BN/UMNO, their leaders will do whatever they want with no fear of justice.
DeleteIbrahim Ali called for bible burning? No problem! Mahathir saying it is ok to burn them? No problem! Imprison people using ISA without trial? No problem! Give free IC for stupid reasons? No problem!
Bring up a highly suspicious accident involving billions of ringgit? KABOOM 1 MILLION
Rakyat berhak tahu kebenarannya.
ReplyDeleteRakyat harus bijak menilaikan apakah yang sedang berlaku.
ReplyDeleteThis is only an accident.
ReplyDeleteTragedi sebegini tidak harus diulangi.
ReplyDeleteisu ini asyik diulang ulang.
ReplyDeletemmg ia adalah tragedi dalam sejarah Sabah, tapi tak perlu nak dibngkitkan untuk kepentingan politk.
ReplyDeletekalau mau selesaikan, asingkan dari pengaruh politik parti2 tertentu.
DeleteAlthough the crash had happened some 36 years ago, the federal government had never made public its findings on the causes of the crash.
ReplyDeleteRasanya file kes ni sudah lama ditutup.
