PETALING JAYA - When Royal Malaysian Navy Chief Admiral Abdul Aziz Jaafar was about to retire after serving for 40 years, he was offered the plum job as the executive deputy chairman/managing director of Boustead Heavy Industries Corporation .He said no to the tempting offer, which would have included a remuneration of over RM80,000 a month and other perks."I did not want to go and eat my ," he told the Public Accounts Committee .

But following intense lobbying, BNS had opted for the Gowind design and the SETIS CMS - both from France.

Although he felt"something gravely wrong" from the beginning, Mr Abdul Aziz did not issue any statements externally but declared that the PAC was the best opportunity to say,"I have registered my greatest disappointment to everyone that was supposed to be listening to me".
