Amos Yee is out on parole, barely halfway into his six-year jail term in the United States for grooming a teenage girl and possessing child pornography.
KUALA LUMPUR: The report on the controversial littoral combat ship project by the Public Accounts Committee revealed that the last of the five vessels will only be ready by the year 2029, thus causing more delay.
At the same time, the PAC said due to the delay, the cost of the LCS construction had ballooned up to RM11.22bil. “However, the construction contractor assured that the detailed design must be completed before August 2024.” “Mindef's decision to turn its back on the AGC in signing SA 6 is an inappropriate action because it can lead to legal implications against the government and this must not be repeated.”
Also, the PAC suggested the government to ensure the acquisition of Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd by Ocean Sunshine Bhd would achieve the intended goal. “The Auditor-General’s Department needs to carry out an audit before LCS 1 is handed over to the Navy and presented in Parliament,” the report added.
