Guan Eng : Who destroyed the records of the RM 6.75 billion Navy deal ?

This is recent on Malaysiakini, that Guan Eng of DAP has asked ACA to investigate into a purported RM 6.75 billion deal navy deal to purchase six offshore patrol vessels, the evidence of which has been destroyed !!

“There is greater urgency in discovering the truth of this scandal following the shocking revelation by Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chair Shahrir Abdul Samad in a Malaysiakini report on Sept 26,” Lim said in his report.

In a three-part interview with Shahrir published since Tuesday, the Umno politician disclosed that the powerful parliamentary committee has not be able to get hold of sufficient company records pertaining to the deal. He claimed they have been “destroyed”.

He said the records destroyed involved the first two problem-ridden vessels, delivered to the Royal Malaysian Navy last year after a two-year delay. The remaining four are under construction.

The PAC started to investigate the scandal in 2005. The deal also came under criticisms in the latest Auditor-General’s report for approving an additional RM1.4 billion to complete the four vessels with “no justification”.

The lucrative contract was awarded to PSC-Naval Dockyard Sdn Bhd – a subsidiary of PSC Industries Bhd owned by Umno associate Amin Shah Omar Shah – in 1998.

The company was renamed Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd in August last year.
