KUALA LUMPUR: Former Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd (BNS) managing director Ahmad Ramli Mohd Nor was charged in the sessions court here today with three counts of criminal breach of trust (CBT) involving RM21.08 million.

Ahmad Ramli, 79, claimed trial when the charges were read to him before judge Suzana Hussain.

BNS was tasked with building six navy frigates in the troubled RM9 billion littoral combat ship (LCS) project.

The project has come under parliamentary scrutiny over costs and delays in construction. The first ship was launched in 2017 and scheduled for delivery in 2019, with the rest at six-month intervals. However, none has been completed or delivered.
