The LCS scandal.Part 2

1. The LCS scandal is known to the public for some time. Yet the parties tasked to prosecute those responsible for the scandal, SPRM, AG chambers, the government don't want to stop the scandal.

2. We have a kind of death-wish or what, waiting for the scandal to run its full course? We seem to not have the resolve and sense of urgency to stop all the nonsense.

3. In the littoral combat ships project, we know something is gravely wrong, yet we continue with it. As though we have personal interests interwoven with the project, we don't want to stop it. We continue to reward corruption and mediocrity. That being so, our society is doomed.

4. let's cut the chase, the main contractor, bastard naval shipyard(boustead should be called that) is the chief wrongdoer. Kick it out!

5. Instead, we fall back to the usual sob sob story, we can't do that. Because we are risking the lives of workers and vendors.

6. Bull, that's a fallacious argument. We are taking out the chief mischief-maker, bns. Not the workers and vendors.

7. It's the sapura and Chrysler argument all over again. Save the main contractor to save workers and vendors.

8. Anyway, let's get back to the main story again. In 2013 or circa, the government gave a contract to boustead to build 6 high-end patrol boats over a 10 year period.

9. The high-end patrol boats are known by their fancy name littoral combat ships. That's the LCS project costing RM9b, 6b has been paid thus far.

10. So, LCS refer to littoral combat ships. Its main contractor is boustead naval shipyard -BNS.

11. Up to now, 5 ships should have been delivered. None has been yet we have paid rm6b.

12. Yet in 2017, the then defence ministers, the computer aficionado, Hishamuddin Hussein, welcomed the 1st ship.

13. He tweeted and photographed it. It seemed real. Hurrah, and bravo!

14. Except, of course, the ship did not exist. He lied to the whole country. Elsewhere, such a minister would have resigned. In Japan, such a person would commit hara-kiri.

15. Yet we find the Malaysian naval chief insisting that the ship is real. Well then, the navy would have no problems inviting multipartisan MPs to verify its existence. Right?

16. If the navy chief is perpetuating a vicious lie, he too must be removed. He can then row a sampan to fish or jump into the ocean.

17. By now, you have guessed it right. The most unique technological feature, the LCS have, is their ability to disappear from our radar. And with them, rm6b

18. It's not funny you know .you have heard about migs stranded in a desert somewhere in the USA, about rumours that the scorpene submarine cannot submerge and £1b being paid for our submarine and missing jet engines.

19. This lcs scandal is even bigger than 1mdb and it's inconceivable that Najib may not be involved. It's not as explosive as the scorpene case where altantuya the Mongolian was c4red. But the kickbacks may be more than the rm500m commission for the submarine.

20. Najib is just sabre rattling and putting up a show saying he's not involved and is not afraid. Well, a detailed investigation will bare all.
The issue of revealing state secrets does not arise at all. Strategic interests are not najibs concern alone and he must not turn it into a racial issue. Ini semua DAP punya hal.

The LCS Scandal. Part 1.

1. I am sceptical, when Hishamuddin piously and solemnly declared those who had committed any wrongdoings as regards the construction of 6 LCS, will be brought to justice.

2. Who would trust the pompous declaration of the man with the perpetual monkey grin? Never trust a feller who spends time more on computer games. The business of governing is serious business, my friend.

3. And the business of honest governance demands even greater resolve and determination.

4. Certainly, it is not to be treated as a given, even when uttered in parliament. It's just like coughing and clearing the throat on the steps.

5. It may satisfy some gullible and irritable MPs. They become less pesky. They are like small children given lollipops and ice cream. Happy to be given an assurance.

6. Don't talk only. It must be followed up with real action. Justice must not only be done, it must be seen to be done.

7. I learnt in contract law sometime ago, that when you post a letter, it's not a job completed just as you post it. Your job is considered done when your letter is actually received, acknowledged by the recipient. Whether it's actually read is a different matter.

8. Similarly, when the apish Hisham spoke about taking action against all wrongdoers in the lcs scandal, until it's followed up by action, his job is not completed.

9. He's being a NATO-no action, talk only.

10. He has not even had the chance to sit down and write down his instructions, perhaps NFA instructions, the java penorogo of Bagan latok, said declassifying the LCS files, may reveal state secrets.

11. The Bagan latok penorogo is also the umno president and Isham PS2 is an umno subordinate. The warning from Zaid is tantamount to saying to Hisham to shut the f**k up!

12. So how not to treat hishams pretentious declaration in parliament without scepticism? Nang bohtee nang,kui bohtee kui!

13. WTF state secrets is Zahid talking about? The only secrets he wants to conceal include who authorised and who received the RM 6B payment.

14. Hello, the mischief we want to expose is who sakau the RM 6B? Purely security details we don't want to know. Just the RM 6B money trail.

15. Hisham doesn't know which details he needs to declassify and which he should not. Perhaps he needs to consult a certain singer first. Me? What me know.

16. Hishamuddin and Zahid and possibly Najib were all involved. Has Hishamuddin got the gumption to even head an investigation?

17. So when the PAC submitted its report on 4th August 2022, I hope they don't consider their job done and completed.

18. It owes a duty to the public to expose of any financial shenanigans involved.

19. And SPRM should stop pulling wool over our eyes. We are tired of being repeatedly told that an investigation of the lcs scandal is ongoing. We need to be updated in stages.

20. This also mean that all defence ministers failed in their duty to rectify and correct the situation. It can also mean they are possibly complicit in the scam to fleece monies from the consolidated fund. Some people in the treasury must also be involved. Otherwise, monies can't walk away from the treasury.
