Najib Abdul Razak has been urged to explain why he, when he was the finance minister, gave favourable treatment to the main contractors of the navy’s littoral combat ships (LCS)

In a statement today, DAP publicity secretary Teo Nie Ching said late delivery charges for each LCS were capped at RM180 million.

Teo said the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) noted that the federal government was entitled to claim liquidated ascertained damages (LAD) of RM116.54 million by Dec 31, 2019, because the delivery of the first LCS was already 245 days late.
