Its Minister, Mohamad Sabu said the ministry would hold discussions with the Finance Ministry and Attorney General on the purchase of the helicopters which have yet to be delivered to date. A few days ago, Mohamad Sabu was reported as saying that the government may need to go to court on the six helicopters purchased by the previous administration at more than RM300 million which have yet to be delivered.
Commenting on the issue, Mohamad said the previous government had paid RM112 million, which was 35 per cent of the overall price but the helicopters which should have been delivered in November 2017, have not arrived. He said this had not happened before and it proves the growing awareness of the people on the sacrifice of the armed forces.
