PAC chief chides BNS CEO's nonchalance on 'obsolete' equipment

Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd (BNS) chief executive officer (CEO) Azhar Jumaat has issued contradictory statements regarding obsolete equipment meant for the littoral combat ship (LCS) project, said Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chief Wong Kah Woh.

Yesterday, Azhar told the press during a media tour of the BNS facilities in Lumut, Perak, where the LCS were being built, the PAC's conclusion was "not entirely accurate" after the committee said 15 percent of the equipment in BNS’ warehouse was obsolete.
