Govt gag orders on matters of public interest

Your report that the Federal Govt has put a gag order on the JKR report on the Bt Antarabangsa landslide, Gag order on Bukit Antarabangsa landslide report :-( will not only distress the residents in the area affected by the landslide, but will also be viewed with consternation by all right thinking citizens of the country. On what reason has the gag order been given? If a Government is fully transparent, its citizens MUST be informed of all anything that affects their lives, be it good or bad, as hiding facts will only breed negative rumours. In this instance, will the revealing of the landslide report be detrimental to the nation, and thus have to be protected under the OSA? If the report reveals that some parties have been negligent, why should those parties be protected? It does seem to me that we still cannot trust the Federal Government to tell the truth, regardless of who has been involved. We still are a Government in denial, telling everyone that things are ok, and like this case, sweeping problems "under the carpet". Changes must start from the top, if we are to change at all..
