MB on the right track

Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim is to be lauded for wanting to declassify the investigation report over the Bukit Antarabangsa landslide tragedy under Section 2(C) of the Official Secrets Act.

The landslide occurred in Taman Bukit Mewah, Bukit Antarabangsa on Dec 6, 2008 at 3.30am. The tragedy claimed five lives and destroyed 14 houses. The widespread media coverage of the landslide and the rescue effort then has turned the nation’s attention to hillside property development.

The Selangor MB’s intention to declassify the investigation report shows that the Selangor Government respects the citizens’ right to information. In doing so, they have set a sterling example of transparency and good governance to the rest of government administrations in the whole country. - + selanjutnya
