PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Najib Razak cannot “wash his hands” of the littoral combat ship (LCS) scandal, says PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli.
Rafizi said this is because Najib, who was in office when the government signed the deal for the LCS project with Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd (BNS) in 2011, was the only person with the power to influence a change in the ship’s design from the navy’s requirements.
In a statement, Rafizi also claimed Najib had previous dealings with DCNS, having used its services for other national “mega” projects.
DCNS, now known as the Naval Group, is a sub-contractor for the LCS project. The same company also sold Malaysia two Scorpene-class submarines in 2002.
