SHAH ALAM - Another secret document involving the littoral combat ship (LCS) scandal will be made public.
Umno Youth Chief Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki in a Facebook posting said the document would be the forensic audit report in regard to the delay in obtaining the ship.
He said the revelation would be made upon Senior Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein’s order.
“According to Datuk Seri Hishammuddin, he has ordered Boustead Heavy Industries Corp Bhd (BHIC) to declassify another secret document to allow another report to be shared with the public, which is the Forensic Audit Report document on LCS Ship Delays.
“The report will further explain the aspects, masterminds of embezzlement and corruption which took place," he said.
He said he learned of the information immediately after the Barisan Nasional (BN) meeting in Johor Bahru on Friday.
"Who could be the mastermind behind this delay? We are waiting for the disclosure of the Audit Forensic Report," he said.
The report of the Government Governance, Procurement and Finance Investigation Committee (JKSTUPKK) had previously declassified the forensic audit report on the construction of the vessels.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the government was committed and assured that the investigation of the LCS project would be transparent and would not protect any individuals.
