Anwar: “LCS probe to go on until all key figures are prosecuted”

THE probe into the littoral combat ship (LCS) scandal will not stop as the prosecution did not act against the key players involved.

According to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the initial probe into the scandal was insufficient due to the magnitude of the scandal and leakage.

“Investigations must continue regardless of who the scandal involves, even if it is an UMNO member. I think further action is needed to ensure the main players involved in the scandal can be held accountable,” he said during the Minister’s Question Time (MQT) session in Dewan Rakyat today (March 14).

Anwar further pointed out that Putrajaya encourages enforcement authorities such as the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to conduct additional investigations and prosecute if sufficient evidence is available.
