Bukit Mertajam MP Steven Sim has questioned the Dewan Rakyat’s inability to reconvene and debate the littoral combat ship (LCS) scandal.

This comes after Dewan Negara speaker Rais Yatim last week allowed a motion from Senator Lim Hui Ying to debate the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report on the RM9.12bil LCS scandal.

Sim congratulated Rais and members of the upper house for dignifying the Upper House as a “place to raise issues of interest to the rakyat” and act as a check-and-balance to the government.
