Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said at the moment, they were waiting for feedback from the company. “Mindef can send a claim for late bill but that will not solve the problem. Therefore, this matter will be tabled in the Cabinet with the three proposals I mentioned in Parliament, earlier,” he told a press conference after a working visit to the Armed Forces Family Housing , at Batu Cantonment Camp here, today.Earlier, the media had reported that Mindef was considering terminating the contract of a company supposed to supply six Royal Malaysian Navy LCS assets.
The three options are for the project to be continued by appointing Naval Group France as a rescue contractor through a Deed of Assignment with Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd using the remaining contract ceiling to complete at least two LCS units.
