KOTA KINABALU: The declassification of the Double Six tragedy report serves as a sign that further initiatives will be implemented to ensure transparent and open governance in Sabah and the federation's relationship with the state, says a think tank.

Institute for Development Studies (Sabah) chief executive officer Datuk Dr Ramzah Dambul said the declassified report is hoped to offer solace and closure for those directly and indirectly involved with the incident, even if it has taken 47 years.
