Ismail blames Harapan for naval ship fiasco

Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob today said the government was compelled to continue the contract for the RM9 billion littoral combat ships (LCS) project which had been hit by cost overruns and delays.

In a statement today, Ismail pinned the blame for this squarely on the previous Pakatan Harapan government for what he claimed was slow decision-making, resulting in the delays.
