KUALA LUMPUR - A former managing director of a shipping company will be charged in the Sessions Court, here tomorrow (Aug 16), in relation to the construction of the littoral combat ships (LCS) for the navy.

According to a source, the man will be charged with three counts of criminal breach of trust under Section 409 of the Penal Code.

Based on a check of the court system, the case will be heard before Judge Suzana Hussin, at 9 am.
