Last LCS ready only in 2029, PAC report reveals


KUALA LUMPUR: The report on the controversial littoral combat ship (LCS) project by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) revealed that the last of the five vessels will only be ready by the year 2029, thus causing more delay.

“The LCS construction period has been extended to 83 months and it is expected that the Malaysian Navy will only be able to obtain all five LCSs in 2029 compared to the original contract where LCS 5 was supposed to be delivered in 2022,” read the report, which was published on the official Parliament website on Monday (Oct 9).
