PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the fiasco in the procurement of littoral combat ships (LCS) should not be pinned on him as he was not the defence minister when the project was awarded.
The Umno president added that anyone involved in the issue should provide explanations to the Public Accounts Committee .
"Clearly it has nothing to do with me, in fact, LTAT itself is the largest shareholder in the LCS construction company," Ahmad Zahid said. Another RM255mil worth of LCS equipment, or 15% of the RM1.7bil worth, which was kept in store for the project, is now obsolete.
