Visit to LCS site hints at a long sail towards completion

According to the initial completion deadline, the company should have shown journalists five completed LCS. The navy, the single largest client of BNS, expected the delivery of the first LCS in April 2019. The contention surrounding the LCS project is that RM6.1 billion has been disbursed by the Government for the LCS project, but not one single vessel has been completed by BNS. At one point, there were up to 140 engineers working on the project, Azhar said. All said, showing the LCS project progress is not enough to quell public outcry — rightly so, as the massive project, likely costing more than RM10 billion, is fully-funded by taxpayers' money.
