LCS scandal: don’t dodge your responsibility, Chin Tong warns Zahid

KUALA LUMPUR – Former defence minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi must not avoid blame for the multi-billion-ringgit littoral combat ships (LCS) scandal, Johor DAP chairman Liew Chin Tong said.

In a Facebook post, Liew said that Zahid had overseen the decision to change the design of the ships and must thus not overlook his responsibility.

“Zahid is responsible for the funds misappropriated and the LCS project failure,” Liew said.

“The LCS project was approved by Zahid as defence minister in 2011. Zahid also made the decision to change the Sigma design of the ship to the Gowind design before consulting and seeking advice from the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN).”
