Double Six Tragedy should be in History textbook


KOTA KINABALU: A plane crash that killed Sabah’s first and fifth chief minister, Tun Fuad Stephens, and 10 others deserves to be in the country’s history textbooks, says Sunduvan Sabah chairman Aloysius Danim Siap.

He said the plane crash that occurred 48 years ago, which is also dubbed the “Double Six Tragedy” because it happened on June 6, was part of Sabah’s darkest history, which is worth teaching.
