Gag order on Bukit Antarabangsa landslide report

THE federal government’s gag order on Bukit Antarabangsa landslide report by the Public Works Department (JKR) has aroused suspicion and is causing discomfort among those affected by the incident on Dec 6 last year.

The residents feel the Government should reveal the report’s content to the people as those who were directly affected by the incident that killed five have the right to know the cause.

Victim Lian Warn Jien, 61, questioned the need to keep the report confidential if the Government had nothing to hide from the people.
