Its Deputy Youth Chief Prem Kitingan said the party had for a long time been pestering the federal government to declassify the report.“It’s a huge relief to us to hear from the Prime Minister that the final report will be declassified. This has been one of the main struggles of the party led by our President Datuk Seri Panglima Dr Jeffrey Kitingan to pressure the federal government to do so. “So, this is a very positive outcome not only for Star Sabah but for all Sabahans.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced on Wednesday that the federal cabinet had decided on the matter in the interest of the families of the crash victims and the people of Sabah. “It’s timely even though it has taken 47 years,” said Prem.He noted that Jeffrey and other Star Sabah leaders never miss joining other Sabah party leaders in the yearly memorial service to pay respect to the fallen leaders.
