Govt to declassify governance panel’s report on LCS project

PETALING JAYA: Putrajaya has agreed to declassify the governance, procurement and finance investigation committee’s (JKSTUPKK) report on the littoral combat ship (LCS) project.

Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the report by JKSTUPKK, which was chaired by former auditor-general Ambrin Buang, will be made available to the public.

In a statement, Ismail also said the Cabinet agreed to declassify the 2019 forensic report on the project, though Putrajaya will need to obtain the attorney-general and auditor-general’s advice first.


He maintained that the government viewed the issues surrounding the RM9 billion project seriously and had directed the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to expedite its probe.

“If there is strong evidence, the attorney-general must file charges and bring those responsible (for any malpractice) to justice.
