KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 11 — Veteran lawmaker Lim Kit Siang today welcomed the Cabinet’s decision to declassify reports on the RM9 billion littoral combat ships for the navy amid increasing criticism that it is turning into the country’s next financial scandal after 1MDB.
“The Public Accounts Committee report on the RM9 billion LCS scandal should be a best-seller, as it is an absorbing horror stories of corruption, fraud, abuse of power, mismanagement and criminality in the public service,” he added. He said the Pekan MP’s reply to Kulai MP Teo Nie Ching yesterday provided proof that Najib was pulling strings of the LCS project behind the scenes.
“Now, the cat is out of the bag and everything is clear — Zahid had acted on the instruction of Najib as prime minister and finance minister in utter disregard of the views and objections of the end-user, the navy,” Lim said.
