Don’t pinch pennies over defence, says ex-Navy chief

KUALA LUMPUR: Steps must be taken to ensure the successful completion of the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) project due to the important role the vessels play in safeguarding the country’s maritime interests, says a former Navy chief.

Admiral (Rtd) Tan Sri Mohd Reza Sany said the government should also address the needs of the Armed Forces, especially that of the Navy, in Budget 2023.
