SHAH ALAM - The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is still carrying out its investigation on the littoral combat ships (LCS) scandal.
Its chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said the anti-graft agency has opened several investigation papers regarding the case.
"Investigation papers that have been completed will be submitted to the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) for further action," he told Sinar Harian on Thursday.
Azam however said he did not want to disclose the names of the individuals involved whether they were politicians or public members.
On Tuesday, former navy chief Tan Sri Ahmad Ramli Mohd Noor, 78, was charged at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court with three counts of breach of trust involving over RM21 million in relation to the LCS project.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
On Aug 11, MACC suggested several names of individuals to the AGC to be charged.
Prior to that, on Aug 4, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) announced its nine findings on the cause of the RM9 billion LCS project failure.
Through its report, it revealed that the government paid RM6.083 billion for five LCS to Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd (BNS) for a direct negotiation, but not a single ship had been completed.
