Suspicious acts to suppress evidence uncovered by LCS audit report


The end justifies the means?: Key positions in the LCS project were left vacant, the report said. This appeared to be purposeful so that fewer people were involved and less of a paper trail was created.

PETALING JAYA: Standard operating procedures were not followed, a laptop was suspiciously taken away, and numerous digital and ordinary documents were destroyed to suppress evidence in the littoral combat ship (LCS) project.

These were among several attempts by key figures to conceal and destroy evidence, according to a declassified forensic audit report.
