C4, Kit Siang urge Msian authorities to act on Scorpene deal after French charge
- 2 years ago
Malaysian authorities have been urged to spring into action at the latest news that defence group Thales has been reportedly charged by a French judge for complicity in bribery over a 2002 sale of submarines to Malaysia.
Welcoming the latest development in France, the Centre to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4) founding director Cynthia Gabriel said the charge has been “a long time coming”.
DAP’s Iskandar Puteri MP Lim Kit Siang urged the Public Accounts Committee to investigate the Thales-related corruption case and the murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu following the recent developments in Paris.
Lim said the PAC can act under Dewan Rakyat Standing Orders 77(d), which provides that the PAC can examine “such other matters as the Committee may think fit, or which may be referred to the Committee by the House”.
