KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 16 — Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said today he would convey to the Cabinet the Senate’s motion that a royal commission of inquiry be formed to probe the allegation of irregularities in the procurement of six navy littoral combat ships by Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd .

In its report released on August 8, Parliament’s bipartisan watchdog Public Accounts Committee noted that BNS has not delivered a single ship despite having been paid over RM6 billion to build the vessels, originally scheduled to be ready by this month. “With the motion tabled and debated, it has given me, as the current defence minister, the opportunity to table , whether it would be approved. But I am responsible for informing the public about how we plan to take this issue forward,” he said when winding up the debates.
