A proposal to establish a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to investigate the littoral combat ships (LCS) scandal will be brought to the cabinet.

This was revealed by Senior Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein.

He said this when concluding the debate on a motion related to the LCS project in Dewan Negara today.

This comes after the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) issued a report highlighting how the Royal Malaysian Navy's view was ignored by the Defence Ministry and Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd (BNS) in the procurement of littoral combat ships.
