Malaysia yesterday declassified a report by a government committee that had investigated issues involving a controversial RM9 billion (S$2.8 billion) warship contract, amid public anger over the deal.
A copy of the declassified report from the Investigating Committee on Procurement, Governance and Finance (known by its Malay initials, JKSTUPKK) on the littoral combat ships (LCS) project was received by Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC), The Star daily reported on its website.
“PAC has been informed by the Deputy Secretary-General of the Prime Minister’s Department that the JKSTUPKK report on LCS has been declassified,” PAC chairman Wong Kah Woh said in a Facebook post.
