KUALA LUMPUR, March 8 — The High Court in Kota Kinabalu today ordered the Malaysian government to declassify the federal investigation report on on June 6, 1976 the plane crash that killed then Sabah chief minister Tun Fuad Stephens and 10 others onboard.
The judge also said that if such public disclosure of the investigation report requires any related action by the Australian government, the Malaysian government must immediately ensure Canberra acted accordingly to allow the declassification to be done promptly.
Imtiaz noted that the High Court today had said that freedom of expression results in the right to information, and noted the decision now showed that the government has to declassify information when secrecy is no longer required.
