Pakatan govt had ordered probe into delay


PETALING JAYA: The littoral combat ship (LCS) project was already behind schedule since 2016, and Pakatan Harapan, upon taking over the government, ordered a probe into the delay. Former Pakatan defence minister Mohamad Sabu and his then deputy Liew Chin Tong, in a joint statement yesterday, said a detailed design for the LCS, which was scheduled for completion in November 2016, had yet to be finalised to date.

“The Pakatan Harapan government had made the decision on the direction of the project in February 2020 based on the proposal of the Special Investigation Committee on Public Governance, Procurement and Finance (JKSTUPPK), but the government collapsed that very month,” they said.
