Opposition will turn LCS into another 1MDB for GE15, govt must explain it to the rakyat - PM
- 2 years ago
The Umno-led federal government needs to address the littoral combat ship (LCS) scandal that recently blew up before going into the 15th general election (GE15), said Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
During a group media interview earlier this week, Ismail Sabri stressed that it was necessary for the ruling party to handle the LCS issue carefully to avoid another 1MDB saga.
The Umno vice-president said this after noting that opposition parties will use the LCS scandal as ammunition in their election campaigns.
“We cannot cover up (this issue). That is why I decided to declassify the forensic audit report. We must be transparent, so the rakyat can see,” the prime minister said.
