Four MPs call for RCI into delayed LCS project
KUALA LUMPUR: The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) project came under fire in the Dewan Rakyat today, with four members of Parliament calling for a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into its delays.
The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) project was the focus of intense debate in the Dewan Rakyat today, with four MPs calling for a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the project's delays. This came after Mohd Sany Hamzan (PH-Hulu Langat) suggested the government establish an RCI to investigate the LCS project, which was originally scheduled for completion in 2019 but now faces a risk of delayed physical handover (PHO) for the first vessel on Aug 26, or a revised target of Dec 26.
Sany, Chong Zhemin (PH-Kampar), Ahmad Amzad Hashim (PN-Kuala Terengganu), and Ikmal Hisham Abdul Aziz (PN-Tanah Merah) all agreed that an RCI should be set up to thoroughly investigate the matter, particularly the project's significant delay of 7.55% and questions regarding public funds.
