PETALING JAYA: The question if Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd (BNS) was awarded the contract for the littoral combat ships (LCS) during former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's administration to help the company pay its debts has been raised by Pakatan Harapan leaders.

In a joint statement, former defence minister Mohamad Sabu and his former deputy Liew Chin Tong said that the RM9bil allocation for LCS should not be utilised for other purposes, claiming that this amounted to criminal breach of trust.
