LUMUT: The project for the construction of littoral combat ships (LCS) is expected to begin three months after the sixth supplemental agreement is concluded, says Admiral Datuk Abdul Rahman Ayob.
The Navy chief said the contract, which is being prepared by the Defence Ministry, would see several amendments to the timeline and costs.
"If the agreement is finalised, we hope that the LCS project will be able to commence as early as possible," he told a press conference after officiating at the Royal Malaysian Navy ceremonial parade at Lumut Navy base here Thursday . Earlier, the LCS controversy came to a head when the Public Accounts Committee revealed that none of the ships had been completed even though the government had paid RM6.083bil to Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd.
